Dashla
Dashla is a phone dashboard app for Tesla owners with real-time vehicle status, live map navigation, and tire pressure—no modifications or extra transmitters.
What is Dashla?
Dashla is a dashboard app for Tesla owners that presents vehicle information, navigation, and tire pressure in a single on-screen dashboard view. The app is positioned for use “from your phone” and is described as requiring no vehicle modifications and no extra transmitters.
Its core purpose is to help drivers view key driving and trip details at a glance—such as speed, gear, and battery status—alongside a live map and route guidance, so information is easier to access during driving.
Key Features
- One clean dashboard layout for navigation, tire pressure, and essential driving info in a single view.
- Real-time driving status including speed, gear, and battery information.
- Live map built into the dashboard so the map is displayed within the same interface as driving details.
- Route guidance with ETA and estimated battery on arrival, presented alongside route overviews and turn-by-turn guidance.
- Configurable side panels that can be switched to change what appears on the dashboard (including map/navigation, music, and tire pressure).
How to Use Dashla
Start by opening Dashla on your phone and using it as your in-car dashboard display. Select a destination to bring up navigation, then use the side-panel controls to switch between what you want to see—such as the map/navigation view or tire pressure—while you drive.
Use Cases
- Daily commuting with at-a-glance status: Check real-time speed, gear, and battery while keeping navigation and tire pressure accessible without switching apps.
- Trip planning and driving with confidence: Review ETA and an estimated battery on arrival as part of route overview and guidance.
- Turn-by-turn navigation on the same screen as driving data: Follow turn-by-turn guidance while continuing to monitor essential driving information in the dashboard interface.
- Monitoring tire pressure during travel: Keep tire pressure visible via the dashboard’s side panel so it’s available during longer drives.
- Personalizing what’s shown while driving: Switch side panels to toggle between map/navigation, music, and tire pressure depending on driving context.
FAQ
Does Dashla require modifications to the Tesla? No. The product description states it works with no modifications.
Does Dashla require extra transmitters or additional hardware? The description says there is no extra device required.

Alternatives
- Tesla-native vehicle dashboards and existing Tesla navigation: Use the vehicle’s built-in instrument display and navigation features. This keeps everything fully integrated, but may not provide the same combined phone dashboard layout described for Dashla.
- Third-party vehicle companion apps: Apps that display vehicle status and may offer map/navigation from a phone. These alternatives vary in how much information is consolidated into one dashboard view.
- Standalone tire-pressure monitoring solutions: Solutions focused specifically on tire pressure monitoring. These typically prioritize tire data over the combined navigation and driving-status dashboard approach.
