    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Good Morning, I am asking this question here in the hope that the undocumented API being used by Teslamate could offer a solution. I would like to be able to send a 'long' multi-destination route to the Tesla navigation system. I am aware that the Tesla App was recently updated to let you to...

    Towing Experience with Model Y

    I can't speak for anything in the footwell. I was just interested in what was presented at the 7-pin connector to a dumb trailer. I do recall initially looking at Pin 4 (Aux 12V) but found no voltage there. Perhaps that wire leads to the footwell area for use with a controller, but I don't...

    So, all of the other commands worked OK, and it only failed on the last one? That command is actually AS 'SELECT public.cube etc... When you said it failed, it looks like maybe you didn't have the AS ' SELECT as part of that [rather complicated] command?

    Windows does not understand the '<<' operator as that is strictly a Linux feature. Your first attempt crashed because the initial command 'C:\teslamate>docker-compose exec -T database psql -U teslamate <<' failed due to the '<<' I would try again, only leave out the '<<'. I think the...

    Same experience here, but I did update to 1.28.4. The extended 'offline' condition came and went and all seems well. Maybe Tesla was having troubles for a stretch which are now resolved...

    SpaceX Starship - IFT-3 - Starbase TX - Launch Thread and Post Launch Discussion

    Although sometimes as more issues get solved, the last remaining ones can be especially difficult technically. This could result in the the pace being set by the ability of SpaceX to solve more difficult technical problems rather than the licensing / approval process. Hopefully they will not...

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    I was under the impression that Tesla had not yet rolled out the auto-wiper neural network. They seem to be claiming that the emerging neural version was going to finally yield a solution to this fiasco. But, as you say with your excellent example, 'AI' is fraught with difficulty. It seems to...

    Another possibility to help learn whether power shortage is an issue - What if you got a simple powered USB hub and connected the USB stick and HDD through it. This would remove all additional loading from the rpi. It seems like it ought to be plug-and-play with essentially no effort to set it...

    It looks like the standard rpi 4 supply is 5V @ 3A (15 watts). How did you assure yourself that it is 'just enough'? You might be running on the edge of a cliff and processor load variation could result in random crashes (perhaps like you are seeing). As an experiment, could you disconnect the...

    I just started browsing. My first thought would be a 'small' NVME m.2 drive with an external enclosure / usb connection, but I am surprised at the power demands (the m.2 drives seem to need 1.4 or 2.5 amps). I currently use a 3 Amp adapter to power the Pi and I would worry that it could not...

    I have this problem too. I can normally access the Rpi via VNC, or SSH. The problem seems progressive - First, I cannot connect wth VNC (teslamate is still working fine, as is SSH). So, I can use SSH to initiate a reboot and recover. If I don't catch it soon enough, then SSH eventually fails...

    TeslaMate [megathread]

    Thanks for the clarification. I will go to Github and read more about this. My first thought would be that you want the actual miles driven divided by the actual energy used. If this is distorted by battery behavior, so be it. The reality is that you under performed (or over performed) but...

    I saw that, but did not feel like there was a consistency there. ie: sometimes with the snowflake there are reported consumption and efficiency numbers, and other times there are not. I also find it disappointing that I get snowflakes (also reduced regeneration symbols in the vehicle) with...

    I have noticed that some of the drives on the "Drives" dashboard fail to report a consumption or efficiency. Here is an example - Most notably on this example are the drive in 2/25 at 10:16 AM and the drive on 2/24 at 11:17 AM. It seems that the data is there (miles and kWh) but the consumption...

    Thanks for clarifying.... There have been some who indicated they are jumping ship because of the fear that Tesla will do something to exterminate access to the unsupported, undocumented API. I remain optimistic that TeslaMate can continue to thrive, and this community can continue to adapt to...

    First, I want to thank everyone who has been willing to step up and provide support since Adrian moved on to other things. TeslaMate is an awesome program. I have been using it for around 6 months since we got our Tesla. It is running on a dedicated Raspberry Pi 4. I would like to get to the...

    SpaceX Starship - Integrated Flight Test #2 - Starbase TX - Including Post Launch Dissection

    I think these launches are MUCH more violent then people can appreciate. Unless you have been fortunate enough to attend a launch up close and personal (or actually ridden in one !!) it is hard to appreciate the forces involved.

    Just as a follow-up to my own question - I purchased a 'ratgdo' board, and have successfully gotten it working with teslamate using the 'tesla-geogdo' utility available here: https://github.com/brchri/tesla-geogdo This approach uses the Mosquitto MQTT broker which is already part of a...

    Is it madness that wipers can't be controlled by the driver on cruise control or autopilot mode?

    I just confirmed this on our vehicle, and I'm very happy ! When the Auto Wipe goes rogue, at least it's now possible to turn the damned things off and remain in AP ! I am on version 2023.44.30.7 (2023 MY AWD).

    2023 Y 2300 miles - no cameras, autopilot or gps

    If I were you, I would be very suspicious of the WiFi fidelity (you describe the location of the router as an issue). Get a WiFi extender of some sort to be sure that the vehicle has a robust WiFi connection. What you describe as 'getting stuck' just strikes me as a WiFi issue. A phone acting...

    2023 Holiday Update

    I have been anxiously awaiting this App update for this very reason. In addition, the App lets you alter the starting SOC of the vehicle (important part of planning for instance if you expect to charge to 100% prior to departure). Indeed, the new App (4.27.5) does indeed support this which is...

    @alexeiw123 - Thanks for all the detailed information. I had no trouble getting teslamate running on the Pi, and I have been very impressed by it. I am glad to see that members here have stepped up in order to maintain it going forward. I am an engineer with a fair amount of programming...

    In searching for a solution to automate my garage door with the Tesla (beyond the crappy cloud-based subscription MyQ that Tesla offers), I came upon 'tesla-geogdo' and 'ratdgo'.

    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    I have read that Tesla used to have a dedicated sensor for the wipers, and then they removed it in favor of the 'Tesla Vision' approach (does this sound familiar - same with the RADAR and USS sensors that are now gone too)?. Can anyone clarify if / when the dedicated sensor was removed? Could...

    Maybe a dumb observation, but I cannot use 'docker compose'. I have to use 'docker-compose'. My system is running on a Raspberry Pi. Could it be as simple as not including the dash?

    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    Sorry, I meant to say that the use of AP is optional. But, I completely agree with your thoughts. Unfortunately it is probably not a regulatory concern. But as a new Tesla owner, I was floored by how unusable such a simple function is, particularly given Tesla's (probably unwarranted)...

    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    How to best get Tesla's attention on this ???? What if everyone starts reporting this to the NHTSA as safety issue. It is certainly a safety issue if the wipers don't wipe when it is raining, BUT the fact that the Auto mode is optional lowers this risk. Of course, Auto is not optional in...

    Tire Valve Leaks Air when caps are off

    I will second the theory of a loose valve core. My neighbor recently purchased a Model 3 and had a slow leak in one of his tires. After spending a fair amount of time troubleshooting, he found that the core was loose and all he had to do was tighten it with a valve core tool

    Towing travel trailer with Model Y

    I think the fact that ABRP allows you to override the efficiency (wh/mi) is the best approach once you learn how a given setup actually performs. And, I assume you can have this in your multiple profiles if desired. Vehicle weight may also have some utility but I think that has a secondary...

    Tesla sales rep told me things about tax credit, and M3 Highland I don’t believe.

    I think some would argue with this... $7500 is not 'chump change' and it does move the needle for many people. I am not sure I would have bought a Model Y a few months ago if not for the $7500 plus another ~$3000 from the state.

    Tesla sales rep told me things about tax credit, and M3 Highland I don’t believe.

    Yes, but it is important for people to understand that although it is clear for a vehicle that you are purchasing now, it is not possible to know what any future vehicle may or may not have. If you want to wait until next year's model comes out (or even next month), then all bets are off with...

    Tesla sales rep told me things about tax credit, and M3 Highland I don’t believe.

    A "tax expert" has nothing to offer here. The issue is how compliant a given vehicle is with all the nuances of the overly complicated tax code. Only Tesla can answer that for each individual vehicle, and it is a moving target because Tesla is constantly changing their configuration. I...

    Towing travel trailer with Model Y

    When you say that it adjusts, what do you mean? I had assumed after a while (more than a few minutes), it would realize that you aren't going to make it to the first supercharger on your route. Are you saying that much earlier, it 'sees' the extra load and re-plans your entire route forward...

    Towing Experience with Model Y

    Mine is a 2023 Model Y (Standard Range) with a factory towing option. It has the 15.5V battery (to confirm this I measured the voltage at the 'cigarette lighter' connector in the console and it was indeed 15.5). Next, I measured the voltage at the 7-pin trailer connector to be 12.5V (used the...

    Towing travel trailer with Model Y

    As a new owner, I am disappointed that the excellent Tesla trip planning seems to have no option to configure it for a known, expected load increase. It seems to assume a nominal efficiency (~243 W / mi.). You know your trailer (or other excessive load like a rooftop carrier, hitch mounted...

    Regen on mountain descent from house each morning

    This would be an interesting test for the OP... Charge to his normal 80%, but intentionally preheat the battery to see if this retains the regen. If it does, it would be especially effective in the winter when things are even colder, and he might lose regen even sooner during his descent. Of...

    Regen on mountain descent from house each morning

    Keep in mind that there are two factors that limit regeneration... First, If the SOC is 'too high' regen will be limited. When you start with 80% and lose your regen (2/3 of the way down the mountain) what is the SOC at that point? When you reduce your initial SOC to 75% (and do not lose...

    Another victim of circumstance here! 2023 Model Y SR, HW4. Drove about 60 miles one day last week (TACC engaged, so wipers were forced to Auto). No rain anywhere, perfectly dry the whole time. I had a total of 12 'dry wipe' occurrences. Average of one every 5 miles (~ 5 minutes). My...
