# Tesla trip history: past drives, routes and mileage

## Quick answer

DriveQuery can build a journey-by-journey Tesla driving history **after the car is connected and data is being collected**. Each completed drive can be organised with start and end points, distance, route or address context and labels. A journey that was never captured cannot be recreated reliably later.

## What a useful Tesla trip history contains

| Field | Why it matters |
| --- | --- |
| Start and end time | Places the drive in a timeline. |
| Origin and destination | Shows where the journey was between. |
| Distance / mileage | Supports totals and later business/private review. |
| Route or address context | Makes similar journeys easier to distinguish. |
| User labels | Lets the driver use meaningful labels without forced Home/Work guesses. |
| Review status | Keeps uncertain classifications visible instead of silently guessing. |

## Trip history, location history and mileage are different

**Trip history** is the chronological journey record. **Location history** focuses on places and route context. **Mileage** is the distance used for totals and reporting. A map pin is not a completed trip, and a monthly mileage total does not explain which journeys created it.

## How DriveQuery turns Tesla data into journeys

1. Capture available Tesla telemetry after connection.
2. Reconstruct drive boundaries when telemetry arrives late or in fragments.
3. Add route, destination, timing and distance context.
4. Suggest labels only when confidence is high.
5. Leave uncertain cases for review; a manual correction wins.

## Important limitation

DriveQuery can clean up data it has received, but it cannot reliably recover a complete historical journey that was never captured. Product interfaces and export options are still evolving during early-access development.

## Common questions

### Can I see where my Tesla has been?

DriveQuery can show completed journeys after it is connected and collecting vehicle data, with origin, destination, distance and route/address context. It is not a retroactive recovery service for journeys that were never captured.

### Is Tesla trip history the same as location history?

No. Location history focuses on places. Trip history organises those places into completed drives with time and mileage.

### Can Tesla trip history support a mileage log?

Yes. Reviewed trip distance and business/private context can feed mileage reporting. For a manual UK report that works now, use the [free mileage log](https://drivequery.com/en/mileage-log/).

### Can I export trip history?

DriveQuery is being built to export reviewed journey records. See [Tesla trip history export](https://drivequery.com/en/tesla-trip-history-export/) for the planned CSV/PDF workflow.
