TOST – Tesla Order Status Tracker

Download the latest desktop build of TOST. Choose your operating system below and follow the platform-specific instructions to install the unsigned application safely.

TOST connects to your Tesla account, loads the order details on every run, and builds a timeline & history as soon as changes occur. Launch it early and regularly – starting it only right before delivery means there may be no older events to display.

What TOST adds on top of the Tesla app

Everything happens on demand: fetch a snapshot from Tesla, inspect it locally, compare it with older data or copy a redacted summary for your delivery group.

Order overview & manual refresh

Trigger a fetch inside the app and TOST shows the latest Tesla response together with delivery tasks, store/contact data and decoded option codes.

  • Supports multiple orders; switch between them from the overview list.
  • Keeps the last response on disk so you can inspect it even when you are offline.
  • Sections for delivery, financing and configuration keep raw API data readable.

Timeline built from Tesla responses

Every refresh is compared with the previous snapshot and turned into chronological timeline entries.

  • See when delivery windows, task states or VIN fields changed.
  • Copy individual entries with a single click to share precise updates.
  • Privacy mode masks reference numbers and VINs before they reach the timeline.

Change history with filters

The history panel lists raw field changes and lets you switch between Standard, Details, All or Ignored modes.

  • Compare new and previous values line by line to understand every edit.
  • Switch between Standard, Details, All or Ignored views to control the signal-to-noise level.
  • Enable debug mode to copy raw JSON snippets whenever you need deeper analysis.

Privacy mode & share-ready text

Generate a Markdown summary with masked identifiers whenever you want to update friends, Discord or forums.

  • Adjust how many trailing characters are replaced for RN and VIN.
  • The share command produces a Markdown text block ready to paste into chat or Discord.
  • Clipboard helpers copy the masked output so nothing sensitive leaves your machine.

Features in detail

Switch between the core workflows to see how TOST supports your Tesla journey. Screenshots below reflect the current desktop build.

Example timeline with delivery and task changes highlighted.

Timeline built from successive snapshots

After every manual fetch the app compares the new response with the previous one and records what changed.

  • Entries show timestamps, keys and values so you can follow delivery window updates and task changes.
  • Repeated keys are marked as “new” to highlight when the same field changes again.
  • Copy buttons place a masked entry on your clipboard for quick status posts.

History view with the Details filter enabled.

Inspect raw field changes

The history panel offers Standard, Details, All and Ignored modes plus ascending/descending sort options.

  • See previous and new values side by side for each change Tesla made.
  • Switch between Standard, Details, All or Ignored lists depending on how much detail you need.
  • Debug mode exposes raw JSON snippets when you need a deeper look.

Copy-ready Markdown share snippet with masked IDs and timeline.

Share text that respects privacy

The share action builds a Markdown snippet with the current overview and timeline and honours the privacy mask.

  • Reference numbers, VINs and vehicle IDs are shortened according to your privacy settings.
  • The output is plain text — paste it into chat, Discord or email without additional editing.
  • Clipboard helpers copy the generated text so sensitive data never leaves your machine.

How we’re distributing the Public Beta

Thanks for testing, for your patience — and happy desteling. 🚗💡

macOS (Apple Silicon)

📦 tost-macos.zip 🔍 SHA-256: manifest.json
Download Support via PayPal
Chrome may flag the file as “uncommon” because it is unsigned. Choose Keep → Show in Finder to continue.
Install / first launch
  1. Unzip the download.
  2. You should see a folder such as tost-macos with TOST.app inside.
  3. Open Terminal
    - use Spotlight (⌘Space)
    - Type Terminal
    - Press Enter
    - Type cd  — keep the trailing space.
  4. In Finder, drag the folder that contains TOST.app into the Terminal window so the full path appears, then press Enter.
  5. Remove the quarantine flag once: 
    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "TOST.app"
    macOS returns “No such xattr”? That means the flag was already gone — continue.
  6. Launch the app from Terminal the first time: 
    open "TOST.app"
    Afterwards you can move it to ~/Applications (optional) and double-click it like any other app.
  7. Updates run from within TOST; no additional manual steps are required later.

If Terminal reports “command not found”, ensure you pressed Enter after dragging the folder in step 3. “No such file or directory” means the path was incorrect — repeat step 3.

Windows 10/11 (x64)

📦 tost-win.zip 🔍 SHA-256: manifest.json
Download Support via PayPal
SmartScreen / Chrome will warn about an unknown file. Click Keep, then More info → Run anyway.
Install / first launch
  • Extract the ZIP. You will find TOST.exe and a README.
  • Run TOST.exe. The installer places the app in your user profile.
  • If SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”, choose More info → Run anyway.

Linux (AppImage)

📦 tost-linux.tar.gz 🔍 SHA-256: manifest.json
Download Support via PayPal
Some browsers flag AppImage downloads. Confirm you trust the file and keep it.
Install / first launch
  • Extract the archive → TOST.AppImage + README.
  • Make it executable: chmod +x TOST.AppImage.
  • Run with ./TOST.AppImage. Your desktop may ask for confirmation the first time.
  • Updates are performed in-app; restart the AppImage afterwards.

Verify the download

The download manifest (manifest.json) lists every platform build together with its SHA-256 hash. After downloading you can verify the checksum:

Commands
  • macOS / Linux: shasum -a 256 <file>
  • Windows PowerShell: Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 <file>
  • Compare the output with the value in manifest.json.

Prefer the original Python script?

The CLI script still works great if you want cron jobs, text-only outputs or to hack on the data yourself. It remains open source and is updated alongside the desktop release.

Support & community

Stay connected

Most testers hang out in the community chat – VIN sightings, delivery rumours and troubleshooting flow there first.

Join the community chat
  • Release notes and quick fixes are announced in chat before making their way to the website.
  • The Python script is still maintained – see the section above for links and usage tips.
  • Looking for documentation? Start in the chat – we pin fresh FAQs and guides as they appear.

Support the project

TOST is a spare-time project. Donations help cover the Apple/Windows signing fees that would remove the unsigned-install warnings.

  • Telemetry is opt-in and anonymous; it only helps rank which features matter most.
  • Bug reports with logs or screenshots are gold – anonymise VINs/order numbers before sharing.
  • Goal: once signing fees are funded we can ship notarised builds for macOS and Windows.
