Hi,

I'd like to implement the following scenario: My car is usually connected at home to my charger. Normally the charger is turned off, however, and only turned on for charging when the energy prices are cheap (yes, I have such a contract).

Now I want to detect, via the TeslaFI API when the car is conducting a scheduled heating of the passenger cabin and battery. In this case I'd like to turn on the charger to avoid that the battery is used for that.

So my question: how do I detect this from the TeslaFI API? I saw variables like "battery_heater" or "is_climate_on" but they doe not seem to be suitable for that. Battery_heater is not always on in the scenario I describe and "is_climate_on" is only on when the HVAC is turned on manually but not automatically in scheduled mode.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks // Tom

A function I would like is to be able to automatically enable sentry mode in certain locations (as you can now) but with the addition "Only if connected to a charger".

I used tagged drives to tag work and privat drives, it would make so much sense to me if a tagged location could have a drive tag so everydrive to that located automatically would be tagged with the given tag

Any updates on the Alexa skill not available ? Would be fun to use but not essential with both apps being good . Thanks  

Bought our Model 3 Rear Wheel Drive a couple weeks ago.  But I don't see it listed in available cars in drop down menu. (understand rear wheel drive is a new name)  Is this new wording what would be considered Model 3 Standard Plus, or Model 3 Standard.  I selected the latter, but not sure.  

Hey there Teslafi team,

Quick ask on Drive temperatures (specifically where it concerns Temperature Efficiency numbers) - Is the temp recorded at the start of a drive, the average of the entire drive, or something else?

Reason I ask - I live in the upper midwest. The external temp for the past few weeks has been below zero (sometimes very much so). But my garage is heated and sits around 40F-45F. Curious how the temp is recorded, and if that could be optimized (take the median value instead of mean, etc).

Reason I ask is that sometimes I see that my "outbound" drive from home has a significantly higher external temp than subsequent drives that start away from home in an unheated location.

Thanks!

Two questions:

1) Is there a way to see the number of full throttle events the car has experienced, (go pedal to the floor)?

2) How can I send a temperature = 81°F signal to the car when it's on the road & moving?  It doesn't seem to take this command after it's unplugged & away from home even though it seems like choosing the appropriate set of commands would allow for this.

I'm told that because I'm still running the original MPU for a 2017 (ie, I haven't upgraded the hardware) firmware updates for my 2017 Model S 75 with v3 autopilot hardware will be very few and far between and that 2021.24.25.1 is the latest and greatest. There isn't a safety score even available with this version of firmware. I wonder how many other cars there are with the latest autopilot hardware and 'old' MPU that might have the same or newer firmware than mine.

The Battery Degradation Report has a good idea of including outside temperature when determining which fleet values to compare to; but this encounters a quirk with cold climates and heated garages. Namely, the conditions when driving (and thus HVAC usage and other factors) can be wildly different from the conditions when charging; which causes the vehicle to be mapped against the incorrect fleet data set. Drive conditions have also been shown to affect estimated and rated ranges - with the chart effectively becoming a graph of temperature changes over the life of the vehicle.

For example, yesterday my average temperature while driving was 14F, and so the vehicle is reporting 221 rated miles at 90%. My garage, however, is heated, and as a result my charge when I got home is being recorded and compared to other charges at 41F. This results in a "range difference" versus the fleet of nearly 40 miles.  During summer months, the difference is less than 10 miles.

Similarly, looking at just my vehicle's values, all 3 options (High vs Low, High vs Current, and Starting vs Current) show a similar skew.  I.e. my "low" and "current" ranges right now are being based on today's frigid range, and comparing to my much more mild 60F "high" range.

Ideally, fleet data would be filtered by average drive temperature since the last charge, not ambient charge temperature.  That might be difficult or time consuming with historical data though.

So, my proposal would be to add a "Filtered High Range vs Current Range" option under the trendline options.  This would effectively work the same as "High Range vs Current Range", but with the "High Range" having the "completed charges over %" and "Only within xx degrees" filters applied to the vehicle's historical charges. This isn't quite ideal as it would still allow below-garage-temperature drives to blend together, but would at least cancel out the largest skew caused by summer vs winter weather.

Super Charger Tier1 cost is <60kW .

But that is the charger side power.

The charging cable power loss exists.

Please be able to change the Tier1 and Tier2 power boundaries.
