It securely connects to your Tesla account and reads your trips automatically, without a dongle or manual entry.

Odoproof keeps contemporaneous records with the date, odometer readings, distance and purpose of each journey, plus a running business-use percentage over a continuous 12-week period: the substantiation the ATO logbook method requires. It is not tax advice; your accountant remains your source of truth.

Tracking begins once you connect your Tesla; trips are captured going forward. A logbook cannot be reliably reconstructed for journeys you didn't record.

Even though an eligible battery-electric car can be FBT-exempt, the private use is still a reportable fringe benefit. A complying logbook allows the operating cost method to be used to calculate the reportable amount, so a logbook is still worth keeping.

Unsubstantiated car claims can be denied and amended over several years, with the General Interest Charge and penalties of 25% to 75% of the tax shortfall.

No. The ATO requires contemporaneous records, so tracking begins when you connect your Tesla and trips are captured going forward. A logbook cannot be reliably reconstructed for journeys that were never recorded.
