Gas Price Updates

With the volatility of gas prices lately, it would be great if there was a way to automatically pull in average gas price for a selected zip code (from AAA or gas buddy, etc) as an option.

Fleet battery degradation by wheel size/type

kuonji 3 years ago 0

It is possible I'm ignorant in this space, but my understanding is that wheel size will absolutely affect your maximum driving range, and these days the vehicles have options you can set in them to tell it the wheel size. Supposedly this adjusts your maximum range based on which size you input. 


Because TeslaFi doesn't 'care' what wheel size you have or make fleet averages/calculations based on this wheel size, it would appear that your battery degradation is much worse than the average just because perhaps most users have smaller wheels and their averages are being calculated differently. 


So being able to determine if your car has bigger or smaller wheels would let you filter cars with only the same wheel size as yours, giving you more accurate degradation numbers compared with cars that are actually similar.

Hi,

Any plans to add the ability to set charging amps now the the endpoint has been added in recent software and app packages?

Thanks

per drive safety score associated with teslafi drives

eoosting 4 years ago updated by James 3 years ago 4

New tesla app api associates a safety score on a per drive basis. This data could be scraped and associated/displayed with teslafi drive records.

Table UI to enter supercharging costs

AlexParker 4 years ago 0

After a roadtrip (about the only time I ever use Superchargers), I want to be able to quickly enter all my SC costs. I'd really like to see the list of charges in a table format that I can just go in and enter all the costs in one fell swoop and then save. I'd like to do it by Total AND Charging fees. I want to record the actual total and the calculated total.

Is there a way to manually add / log a drive that was not logged by TeslaFi?

nmu842 4 years ago updated by James 2 years ago 3

I used my care today, while logging was disabled due to an issue with the token. I only found out about this afterwards. I know the start and end location, the energy used, the consumption from the tesla stats. Is there a way to manually add this drive to the TeslaFi logs?

Clicking noises for 34 minutes after each ride, caused by TeslaFi requests during "idle time". Sleeping works fine.

TMS2016 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 7

After each ride TeslaFi wakes the car repeatedly for 34 minutes. After this the car sleeps as expected (until next ride or until the car wakes up on its own to recharge the 12V battery).

However during these 34 minutes the high voltage relay clicks every 60s (so high voltage is enabled for 1 minute, then disabled for 1 minute).

TeslaFi setting "Idle Time Before Trying to Sleep" has direct influence on the total clicking duration. If set to 30 minutes -> 34 minutes clicking, if set to 10 minutes -> 14 minutes clicking, if set to 5 minutes -> 10min clicking.

If TeslaFi is disabled (by unchecking "Logging Enabled"), high voltage is disabled only once (2 minutes after locking the car) and not reenabled (for hours). Then only 2 clicks of the shutdown sequence are audible.

"Polling Time While Idle" was usually set to 1 minute (default). If set to e.g. 5 minutes: the car enables the HV only for 1 minute every 5 minutes (for ~30 minutes in total, after a ride only). There is one loud click which indicates HV enabling. 60s later and 120s later two quiet click indicates HV disabling.

Test conditions

  • TeslaFi default settings restored by "Reset Settings"
    • Tesla Model S 2016 facelift, AP1, no sentry
    • 'Always Connected' is turned off
    • 'Energy Savings' is turned on in the vehicle.
    • 'Cabin Overheat Protection' off
    • No camping mode or dog mode enabled.
    • 'Passive Entry' off (so key fob does not wake up the car unintentionally).
    • No OBD connected
  • Tesla app was stopped sometimes, but usually just closed (because no effect).
  • No charger connected
  • Usually good LTE connection
  • 12V-battery voltage monitor (shows me e.g.: if the car is running from 12V battery or high voltage battery).
  • All available software updates installed.
  • Systematic TeslaFi tests performed on 2021-07-22 and 2021-07-23

I observed same clicking for ~30minutes on a Tesla Model S 2018 which also uses TeslaFi. The repeated clicking also disappeared after TeslaFi was disabled (by unchecking "Logging Enabled").

  • Same settings (additionally: sentry disabled).
  • No charger connected.
  • No 12V-battery voltage monitor
  • No OBD connected
  • All software updates installed.

I probably heard this clicking for more than a month on both cars (without observing it for longer time).

I tried modifying a few settings according to TeslaFi sleeping guide. Without success.

Is TeslaFi aware of that problem? It is not "Car is not sleeping".

Could TeslaFi poll faster than every 60s during idle time?

Battery Degradation as a function of age OR mileage

DaveM 5 years ago updated by Alexander Blach 3 years ago 1

The "Battery Degradation Report" is very interesting but I have a low mileage M3 (~12k miles) that is 28 months old.  My degradation report is showing a more extreme capacity decline since I'm being compared to much newer vehicles.  It would be interesting to also be able to see how my car compares to models of the same age.  Comparing vehicles with similar age AND mileage would be ideal but I suspect that population would be very small.

Charge rate in kw

Choppy553 5 years ago updated by pbraren 4 years ago 3

Would be nice if you could select if you want the charge rate displayed in kw, since I personally do not like the km/h display. It would also be cool if the overview for a charging session could display the average charging rate. Maximum would also be nice.
