10 Best Tesla GPS Car Trackers Reviewed: Trackers
When most people hear the word “Tesla,” they think of Elon Musk. But he didn’t actually start the company. Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by two American entrepreneurs, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. They named the company after the famous inventor Nikola Tesla.
Elon Musk, co-founder of PayPal, became one of the company’s biggest early investors. He put in $30 million and later became CEO after Eberhard and Tarpenning left. Tesla released its first car five years later, and since then, the company has grown quickly. Today, Tesla cars can travel farther, charge faster, and are more popular than ever.
As more people choose electric cars, especially luxury brands like Tesla, protecting them with a GPS tracker is becoming more important.
Doesn’t Tesla Already Have Tracking?
Yes, all Teslas come with a built-in tracking feature through the Tesla app. This lets you see where your car is in real time—if it’s moving. That’s the catch.
To save battery life, the car’s tracking system often turns off when it’s parked or not in use. So if your car is stolen and hidden in a garage or shipping container, the system may not update its location. That can make recovery much harder.
That’s why many Tesla owners choose to install a dedicated GPS tracker. It keeps tracking your car even when it’s not moving—and can help lower your insurance, too.
What Kind of Tracker Should You Get?
Because Tesla is a premium brand, experts recommend using a tracker that meets Thatcham S5 standards—the highest level of vehicle tracking. Here are two great options offered by Safe & Sound Mobile:
✅ Meta Trak S5-VTS
This is one of the most popular S5 trackers due to its great mix of features and value.
It includes:
- Comprehensive GPS tracking coverage for the UK and Europe.
- Backup battery
- Journey and trip history
- Alerts for low battery, motion, tampering, and geo-fencing
- Driver ID tags – These small devices turn off the alarm when the driver is near the vehicle. If someone tries to drive the car without a tag, the system alerts a 24/7 monitoring centre.

✅ ScorpionTrack S5-VTS
Another top-quality option, this tracker offers additional features beyond the standard S5 protections.
You’ll get:
- A full-featured smartphone app
