TessDrive is essentially code-complete. Before the wider release, we want a small group of engaged drivers to live with it on real road trips and daily drives — and tell us what to fix, add, and refine.
Every tester runs the same hardware that's in the shipping product, on a fully refundable $285 deposit — it simply holds your device for the beta. Send it back and the full $285 returns to you; keep it, and the $285 is your final price, nothing more to pay.
Especially wanted: Model S, Model X, Cybertruck, and very early (2017–2018) Model 3 owners. Those screens are underrepresented in our test fleet, and we want TessDrive dialed in on every one.
What we're asking
No lab work, no scripts. Use TessDrive exactly the way you normally would, and log what you notice.
Road trips, commutes, errands, rear-seat streaming — however you'd really use it. Real-world use is exactly what we need.
See something off — a stutter, a layout glitch, an app that misbehaves? Send it over. The messy edge cases are the point.
Feature requests and UI suggestions carry real weight at this stage. What you ask for is what the 1.0 everyone else gets will become.
How the beta works
It's the identical silicon and hardware that ships in the product — every function, and every over-the-air update, a production device gets. (The final Supercharger-styled case comes later; beta units run without it.)
A fully refundable $285 deposit covers the hardware for the beta. Return the unit at the end and the full $285 comes back to you.
Grown attached? At the end of the beta, your $285 deposit simply becomes the purchase — the device is yours, nothing more to pay.
Updates ship over the air, so the device rarely needs to move. In the rare case a hands-on reflash is needed, we cover shipping both ways at no cost.
