Your Tesla already knows all of this. Here's how to read it.
Telemetry is the stream of readings a connected car reports about itself: how much charge is left, how fast it is moving, what the cabin temperature is, which software it runs. CyberFleet reads those signals through Tesla's official Fleet API and files them against the car they came from.
Streaming, not polling
Most third-party dashboards poll: they ask Tesla for a snapshot every few minutes, which means a billable request per car per poll, and a reading that is always slightly stale. CyberFleet subscribes each car to Tesla's Fleet Telemetry stream instead, so the car pushes its own signals and a snapshot arrives in seconds. REST polling is kept as a fallback for the moments a stream can't reach the car, and it stops entirely while the stream is live — the same data is never paid for twice.
That design is why the free tier carries the social side of the app only: every telemetry call costs real Fleet API money, so a car streams on a paid plan, and only for as many cars as that plan holds.
What you get per car
Battery and charging
State of charge, usable range, charge rate and how long until full — plus a session log with the energy added and the cost from Tesla's own invoice.
Driving and efficiency
Each drive with distance, duration, average and peak speed, energy used and how much of it ran on Autopilot.
Position and trips
A trail on the map while a car moves, and a road book of everywhere it has been, kept against that specific vehicle.
Comfort and condition
Cabin and outside temperature, climate state, tire pressures, lock and sentry state, and the software version the car is running.
Costs you can actually check
Charging costs are the part every estimate gets wrong. Where Tesla provides an invoice, CyberFleet imports the billed energy and the amount that left your account, and the session is marked as invoiced rather than estimated. Home charging is priced at your own rate per kWh, which you set once and can change at any time. Sites you visit are kept in a per-site history, so a Supercharger you use often shows what it has really cost you over time.

Questions
- Does CyberFleet need a Tesla account login?
- You sign in to CyberFleet with your own email or Apple, Google, Microsoft or Facebook account, then link your Tesla account through Tesla's own consent screen. Your Tesla password is never given to CyberFleet.
- What is the difference between the Fleet API and Fleet Telemetry?
- The Fleet API answers questions: you ask a car for its current state and get a snapshot back, and every ask is a billable call. Fleet Telemetry is a stream: the car pushes the signals you subscribed to, so the data is fresher and costs far less to collect over a day.
- Does telemetry keep running while the car is parked?
- Only for the cars you choose, and only while you leave them on. A car you pause stops all Tesla calls and keeps its logged drives, charging and history.
- Who can see my car's data?
- Nobody you haven't chosen. Sharing is off until you turn it on, and each field — speed, battery, climate, tires, location — can be switched on or off independently. You can go dark instantly and delete your records at any time.
