Frequently asked questions

It securely connects to your Tesla account and reads your trips automatically — no dongle and no manual entry.

Odoproof keeps an accurate, year-round logbook with date, destination, purpose and kilometres, plus a running business-use percentage — the record the CRA expects. It is not tax advice; your accountant remains your source of truth.

Tracking begins once you connect your Tesla; trips are captured going forward. There is no reliable way to reconstruct kilometres you didn't record.

Yes. Clean personal-use records help you prove business use over 50% and personal use of no more than 20,004 km/year, unlocking the reduced standby charge and keeping your T4 automobile benefit accurate.

We use least-privilege access to your Tesla data, encrypt it, and never sell it. See our Security page.

Three plans: $9/mo for up to 3 vehicles, $49/mo for up to 30, and a Custom plan for more — contact contact@odoproof.com.

Yes — every paid plan includes a 7-day free trial that starts once your access is set up (within 48 hours). Cancel anytime during the trial at no charge.

No. Canada applies the standby charge and the operating expense benefit to a battery-electric Tesla exactly as it does to a gasoline vehicle. The flat 34¢/km operating benefit (2026) applies even though electricity is cheaper than fuel.

Personal driving must not exceed 20,004 km per year (1,667 km per 30-day period), and the automobile must be used more than 50% for business. Both conditions must be met, and only a logbook can prove them.

The CRA's reasonable allowance rates for 2026 are 73¢ per kilometre for the first 5,000 km and 67¢ per kilometre thereafter (provinces). An allowance is tax-free only if it is reasonable and based solely on kilometres driven, which means it must be logged.

Keep your logbook and supporting receipts for six years from the end of the tax year they relate to. If you use the simplified method, also keep the base-year logbook for as long as you rely on it.

After keeping one complete, representative 12-month base-year logbook, you can keep a continuous three-month sample logbook in later years and extrapolate your business use — as long as it stays within 10 percentage points of the same period in the base year.
