Automatic: a torque-converter automatic, as in most road cars. Shifts blend smoothly, with no bangs, pops or blips, and under throttle the revs run a little ahead of the car. Your drive mode still picks when it shifts, and + and − beside the tach still shift crisply, like paddles.
Fewer: the car's own ratios with gears skipped, so each gear is a longer pull and a drive has about a third fewer shifts, the way a 4- or 5-speed drives. First and top gear stay, so pulling away and cruising are unchanged.
Coast: lifting off pushes the clutch in, like slipping into neutral. The revs sink back to idle over a second or two and only the brakes slow you, with no downshifts or pops; back on the gas it takes up the gear for your speed, or with + and − your own gear. The wheel button beside the tach, above Comfort, switches it too.
For Test drive and the drag strip: lift the red cover and flip the switch up to arm it, then it sprays whenever you floor it.
Muffle: 0% is windows down, 200% a heavily insulated cabin. Distance: 100% is where the camera normally stands; lower is closer, higher is further away.
How hard you need to accelerate before the engine sounds flat out.
Your push: the gearbox reads how hard the car is pulling, the same in every car. A firm pull drops it straight to the gear for the pull and holds it; settling to a cruise it goes straight to a tall gear. Response above sets how hard a push counts as flat out. The car's throttle: it shifts from how much of this car's power the pull takes, as before, so an everyday pull in a big V8 is light throttle and shifts up early.
Your phone feels the car pull the moment you press the pedal, so the engine answers in about a tenth of a second instead of waiting for GPS. This phone: the app and its sound run here, with the phone held still in a mount or on the charging pad. Tesla screen: the app runs on the Tesla screen and this phone only sends it the pedal; turn it On there too. Off: GPS alone, as before.
On: your phone, held still in a mount or on the charging pad, feels the pedal and sends it to this screen, so the engine answers in about a tenth of a second instead of waiting for GPS. On the phone, pick Tesla screen under Motion sensor throttle. Off: GPS alone, as before.
Round buttons beside the tach: + and − to shift up or down a gear (a downshift that would over-rev is refused), then Comfort (armchair), Sport (speedometer) and Track (checkered flag), which also go back to automatic.
Cabin (steering wheel), Front (the car head-on), Chase (the car going by) and Exhaust (tailpipe) beside the tach. The shift and camera buttons take a side each: picking the side the other has swaps them.
Keeps a phone cooler and its battery going longer, on this device only: the drag strip and the tach draw at the screen's own resolution instead of twice it and 30 times a second, and the strip barely redraws while a card is up over a car standing still. The sound isn't touched.
The first start of the day idles high and settles over a minute or two as the engine warms up, a little rougher until it does. A restart after a short stop is warm and settles at once.
For the neighbours. Mornings: before 8 am. Night and morning: 9 pm to 8 am. In those hours the engine starts without the big blip and plays at about half volume until you reach 30 mph, or for three minutes.
Try it if the sound cuts in and out over the car's Bluetooth. The engine then plays as media, like music: it pauses other audio, and the pedal answers a moment later.
On your other device, scan this with the camera, or open Settings → Your devices → Enter a code. Good for 5 minutes and for one device.
Your position stays on this device. The app reads your speed from GPS to drive the tach and the sound, and nothing about where you are is sent or stored.
ExhaustScore is for entertainment. Obey all traffic laws and drive responsibly. Set up your car and camera while parked, never handle your phone or the screen while driving, and keep the volume low enough to hear sirens, horns and the car's own alerts. Test drive and the drag strip are for when you're parked. The sounds play inside the cabin only. You use ExhaustScore at your own risk and are responsible for how you use it; the developer is not liable for any accident, injury, damage, fine or other loss arising from its use.

GPS sees you press the pedal a second or more late. Your phone's motion sensor feels the car pull at once, so the engine follows your foot within about a tenth of a second. GPS still keeps the speed right.
Either one can be started first; the other has 10 minutes to join. If the link drops during the drive, the two find each other again by themselves. Next time, with the phone in the same place, it starts live straight away.
If the mount moves or turns, it notices, goes back to GPS and learns again. Off puts everything back to GPS alone.
On GPS the engine follows your speed, so the app needs your location. Your position itself never leaves the device, and nothing about where you are is kept. The browser asks once, when you pick GPS or press Engine Start, and remembers the answer: after Don't Allow, or with location off for the browser on the phone, it won't ask again until you allow it in the settings below.
