About Idle Tracking
Tessie's cloud platform monitors your vehicle 24/7 and automatically records all idle activity.
What is idle activity?
Idle activity is any time your vehicle isn’t driving or charging.
During during this time, the battery may slowly lose energy, which is often called "phantom drain".
Tessie tracks idles to help you understand energy efficiency and vehicle behavior.
