━━ NOTE 01 · ALWAYS ON THE WINDSHIELD
Always one corner ahead.
The live traffic, charger, and pace-note layer for the Tesla browser. Built by drivers, community-sourced, EV-native, ad-free — running natively in your car's screen.
WAITLIST · TESLA OWNERS PRIORITIZED · RELEASED IN HOURLY STARTS
━━ NOTE 02 · ON THE STAGE
The codriver sits to your right. codriver runs on your screen.
Pace notes called in tight cadence. Distances over adjectives. “Cop. 800 m. Right bend.” The car stays yours; the layer stays out of the way until it's the moment to know.
- ━━ Heading-up Track + 3D Tilt or Cityscape — whichever you read fastest.
- ━━Live alerts within your look-ahead radius. Highway = 8 km, urban = 1.5 km.
- ━━Auto-reroute only on real drift (>60 m, ≥30 s). No twitchy chatter.
━━ NOTE 02 · ON THE WINDSHIELD
Four ways to see the road. Free starts with Compass.
Same map, four perspectives. Free unlocks Compass — the 2D north-up view drivers reach for on familiar roads. Premium adds the three others: heading-up Track for unfamiliar suburbs, tilted Tilt for highway, full Cityscape for downtown.
Compass
Free2D · north-up · the road in front of you
Track
Premium2D · follows your heading · windshield-style
Tilt
Premium3D · terrain only · clean lines at speed
Cityscape
Premium3D · with buildings · downtown context
Lite-mode (performance toggle for older Tesla MCUs) is available on every plan and is based on the Compass view.
━━ NOTE 02 · WHAT TESLA FORGOT
The codriver Tesla didn't ship.
Tesla put a desktop-class browser in your dash and then left it idling. No community alerts. No charger reliability. No way for drivers to share what they know about the road ahead. codriver is the app the community had to build itself — a live map of what other drivers see right now, an EV-aware view of the route, and a calm second voice that reads it back to you without nagging.
A 17-inch landscape display, a real modern browser, GPS, sensors — and one of the thinnest in-car app ecosystems in the industry. The hardware is waiting for the apps Tesla never shipped.
codriver runs in that browser. Live driver reports, EV-aware route notes, pinned community knowledge — all on a map tuned for a windshield, not a desk.
Open the URL on your Tesla browser. That's the install. Updates ship the moment we push them — no waiting on a vehicle firmware release.
━━ NOTE 03 · PACE NOTES
Codriver, not coach.
Built by drivers who got tired of being scolded by their own dashboards. Every label on the screen is a pace note: distances and facts over encouragement, no emoji, no exclamation marks, no soft language. Read it in a glance, look back at the road. Peer-to-peer, never coach-to-student.
“⚠️ Caution: Law enforcement detected ahead. Please reduce your speed and obey all posted limits.”
“Cop. 800 m. Right bend.”
“The codriver in the right seat reads what's ahead and puts it on the glass in three words — never grabs the wheel, never asks if you're sure. The product flows from that single image.”
━━ NOTE 04 · UNDER THE HOOD
Engineered for the windshield, not the desk.
Other apps recalculate every time GPS twitches or you drift across a lane. codriver doesn't. We reroute only when you've actually left the line — 60 m off, max once every 30 seconds — and refresh traffic every five minutes. Less chatter, more confidence in what's on screen.
Follows your car with the road ahead facing up — like a windshield, not a paper map. Camera zooms out at highway speed, tilts down in town, drops the 3D buildings above 90 km/h so it stays smooth. It anticipates your line so you're not chasing a lagging dot.
Old Model S? MCU1 hiccups on heavy graphics? One toggle drops 3D buildings and complex pins for a flat, fast view. Same alerts, same map, smoother frame rate. Built because half of us still drive a 2015 Model S.
━━ NOTE 03 · BUILT FOR THIS CAR
Made for the car you already own.
One window into your Tesla browser. No app to install, no firmware to wait on, no tablet velcroed to the dash. The driver-app loads in seconds and looks like it shipped from the factory — because it speaks the same minimal language the Tesla UI already does.
Same browser, same app. MCU1 quirks? One toggle drops 3D buildings for a flat, fast view — same alerts, smoother frame rate.
Just navigate to app.codriver.io. Pin it. Done. No App Store, no firmware wait, no rooted car.
Same restraint: deep neutrals, mono numerics, one accent. No alarms, no clutter, no animations that lag the GPU.
━━ NOTE 05 · OWNED BY DRIVERS
Built in the right seat. Owned by drivers.
codriver is community-sourced, pseudonymous by default, and hosted in the EU (Helsinki). Your reports help everyone behind you. No ads, no surveillance, no upsell to a Google account. The data layer is open — plug in additional sources if you want, or drive.
No accounts required to read the map. Community alerts are submitted unsigned— no identity attached to the row. We don't track where you drove, what you searched, or where you're going. We can't sell what we don't have.
Live alerts from drivers ahead, charger reliability from drivers behind, route notes from drivers who've been there before. The road is loud — we listen.
Don't like our default sources? Swap them. The data layer is open — community-built sources slot in without breaking anything. Build with us →
Where your data lives: Helsinki, Finland — GDPR coverage, out of reach of US data acts. Where it goes:nowhere we don't tell you about. Non-justice-system inquiries to share user data are refused outright; we comply with court orders in the user's relevant jurisdiction only.
