Frequently asked questions
The short answers.
What DriveDash is, what it costs, and what to expect.
What exactly is DriveDash?
A personal, read-only web dashboard configured around the information you choose. It puts what you already use into one glanceable screen designed for the Tesla browser.
How does this work?
Complete the intake form with no card or payment required. We configure your dashboard and give you seven days to review the completed result, including one round of in-scope setup adjustments. If you decide to keep it, we send a $179 invoice. If it is not right for you, you owe nothing. Your first year of hosting and support is included after payment.
Do I need to be technical?
No. You choose what you want and provide the requested links or calendar information. We assemble and deliver the finished dashboard.
How is my dashboard configured?
On the order form, you choose from supported calendar, weather, news, markets, sports, and useful-link modules and tell us your priorities. We use those answers to configure the content and layout for you.
Will it work for my Tesla?
DriveDash is designed for Tesla vehicles with a built-in browser that can open standard secure websites. Browser availability and behavior are controlled by Tesla, so you can test our examples in your vehicle before ordering.
Does it work anywhere else?
Yes. Your DriveDash link also works on modern phones, tablets, and computers with a web browser.
How do I use it in my car?
Open your personal DriveDash address in the Tesla browser, enter your PIN, and save the page as a browser favorite for easy return visits.
Can I use DriveDash while driving?
DriveDash is intended for use only while the vehicle is safely parked. Even if the browser remains available while the car is moving, drivers should not view or interact with the dashboard in motion. Keep your attention on the road and follow all applicable laws; passengers should avoid distracting the driver.
Is DriveDash read-only?
Yes. DriveDash displays information; it is not an appointment editor. Add or change events in your existing calendar, and the dashboard reflects the updated source.
Which calendars can I use?
DriveDash accepts personal calendars that provide a public, read-only ICS or iCal subscription link. Work and school calendars that require sign-in are out of scope. See accepted calendars and setup steps.
Does the information update automatically?
Supported modules refresh automatically. Timing and availability can still depend on your calendar source, internet connection, and third-party data providers.
What should I know about the Tesla browser?
Tesla may unload the browser when you switch to another app. When you return, DriveDash may need to reload; saved information appears first when available while fresh data updates.
Is my calendar information private?
Your personal subdomain and PIN discourage casual viewing, but the PIN is not secure authentication. Avoid displaying sensitive personal, medical, financial, or location details in calendar titles.
How much does it cost?
DriveDash Custom Setup is $179, but there is no deposit and no card is required upfront. You pay only after your completed dashboard is delivered and you decide to keep it. The first year of hosting and support is included. Hosting is $36 per year thereafter to cover hosting and data-feed costs.
Is there an ongoing fee?
There is no additional hosting charge for the first year. After that, hosting is $36 per year—equivalent to $3 per month, billed annually—to keep your personal DriveDash subdomain online and cover data-feed costs.
How does the seven-day preview work?
You receive seven days to review your completed dashboard before deciding whether to keep it. One round of in-scope setup adjustments is included during the preview. If you approve the finished dashboard, we send a $179 invoice. If it is not right for you, you owe nothing. New modules or changes outside the approved setup remain separate change requests.
What happens if an invoice is not paid?
We send reminders before pausing the dashboard. If it remains unpaid, the dashboard is replaced with a notice and a link to contact us. You can use that form later if you want to return and reactivate it.
Can I change it after I buy it?
Yes. Use the customer change form ↗ and provide your name, contact information, dashboard URL, and requested edits. Each completed change request is a one-time $20 fee. Requests requiring custom development may need a separate quote.
Is it supported?
The first year includes hosting and support for the delivered configuration. Beginning in year two, the $36 annual fee covers hosting and data-feed costs. Customer-requested edits—such as changing the view, sources, or modules—are separate one-time $20 change requests. Custom development is quoted separately.
How do I contact DriveDash?
Use the dedicated inquiry form ↗ for general questions. To request an edit to an existing dashboard, use the separate change-request form ↗.
What information will I need to provide?
Your module choices, location for weather, calendar source, teams or market symbols, useful links, preferred subdomain, and PIN. Only provide information you are comfortable displaying.
How long will it take?
After reviewing your form, we will confirm the expected delivery time before work begins. Timing depends on your selected modules and how quickly the required information is available.
