Pseudo camper mode for model 3 via controls, or better controls controls :)
Hello,
I am going camping soon. Model 3 doesn't have a camper mode where the HVAC is active long term. I think I can emulate the feature with the telafi controls by creating dozens of controls to start HVAC every 30 minutes. It would be nice if there was an option to set up a control to repeat every so many minutes starting at a certain time until another time.
Alternatively just have a camper mode with a simplified interface that just does this for you for set times/dates.
What does "trying to sleep" really mean?
When I get a text saying "Tesla is trying to sleep," what is actually happening?
- Is TeslaFi simply stopping the data polling due to the 30 minute (default) idle timeout?
- Is my vehicle actually trying to going to sleep on its own and TeslaFi is just reporting it?
Followup question: If I get a "failure to sleep" message, will TeslaFi wait another 30 minutes (default) of idle time, then begin the same process once again, i.e. stop the data polling, allowing the Tesla to try to sleep? Does this continue indefinitely until the the Tesla has actually gone to sleep?
Hi,
The following article should help explain it: Enabling sleep settings to limit vampire loss.
Yes, TeslaFi stops polling in order to give the car time to sleep. TeslaFi cannot put the car to sleep, only pause polling to let it go to sleep on it's own if it's ready.
If it does not go to sleep it will start counting the idle timer again and repeat the process. You can see this here: https://teslafi.com/data.php.
Simplified Auto Tagging for Business Drives
Like many I use TeslaFi to help fill out mileage claims. It would simplify initial setup if editing a tagged location included a selection such as "this is a work location" and the auto tag drives page could select "work location" in the start and end. All of my driving for work happens between 12 locations. This would save me from entering a whole lot of auto tag rules to cover every combination of start and end.
Charge: add a tag
Dear Support,
TeslaFi is very usefull and as a former user of TeslaLog, I appreciated the functionnalities you already
already implemented.
Nevertheless, I would like to suggest to add one more: like for the Drive, having the possibility to tag a charge. In that case, adding also a possibility to filter (additionnaly to the date range) according this tag. This could be helpfull to have a monthly summary for a location for example.
Thanks and kind regards.
HVAC Reminder
Similar to the plug in reminder can we have a reminder option if HVAC is on at a certain time?
After accidentally leaving HVAC on all night accidentally due to timer and not using the car I had lost 30% overnight.
Would be useful until they bring back the 30min cut off!
Enhanced Drive Search
I would like more Criteria available in the Drive Search
Things I have wanted to search for over the last 18 months include some of:
Location (that is covered by another ticket). I'd like to be able to enter Location Name, or set Pin on Map and Radius of a circle, and then find all Lat/Long within that. Perhaps either Parked there, or "travelled through".
Also filter for only if "charged-at-location".
Journey length. e.g. find all long journeys. If I bought a bigger battery model how much less would I supercharge?
Might need "miles driven in a day" so that a trip that currently had multiple segments, with Supercharger stops, could be included, whereas a single-drive would not be.
Also: Supercharging stop time. I would be interested in how often I stopped for 15 minutes or less, a bigger battery would avoid that stop.
energy-added - ditto, but also covers slow-public-chargers. Useful to determine how a journey might be improved when a new supercharger opens on that route.
Wh/Mile - find all journeys where I used more than 400 Wh/mile, and were over, 10 miles. Use that to calculate likelihood of needing extra charge on a journey with bad weather. Currently it takes me a very long time with Calendar trying to find a drive that I vaguely remember that had adverse weather conditions in order to plan for a journey where I am expecting bad weather.
Temperature - ditto.
These type of "anything" criteria search screens can be cumbersome, and the SQL can be inefficient, but for flexibility being able to, in effect, create a logic statement involving any columns would enable all sorts of What If questions to be asked
Ability to see charging costs between a date range (i.e. by week, month, year)
Hi,
Any progress on letting us users see total costs for charging at home between a date range? Right now it seems to only allow costs for a single day.
Thanks
Auto tag past drives between two destinations
James,
The new auto tag functionality is brilliant, but it's a pity it can't be used retroactively. What about implementing it?
Thanks a lot.
How long is data kept?
Hi,
I'm wondering how long information is kept? Also, is there a storage cap?
Thanks!
