Remote S is an app for your iPhone that could be compared to the official Tesla app in terms of what it provides, with a different UI. Teslafi is a web service that monitors and collects data from your car TM-Spy is an iOS and Android app that connects to a CAN bus adapter in your car and...

I've had similar mileage in a similar timeframe. I did do the service and I'm glad I did, Tesla did a whole bunch of things that they found or had service bulletins for, that would have otherwise been lingering. Didn't cost me anything extra (other than the actual $400 service). I figure I spent...

Marco Arment, the developer of Overcast, drives a Tesla himself ;)

They might be able to but they have no incentive to do so. People are still buying at the current prices, and Tesla is trying to become/stay profitable.

The source is some law. Don't ask me what paragraph or what not. Same in my line of work (software), we're not allowed to book revenue for those parts of the contract that haven't been delivered yet. If a customer buys the base (shrink-wrap) product, and add-on customizations, we can't book the...

Uber in Germany acts as a middle man only. They tried to do the "anybody with a car can drive" thing and failed (NYT Jan 2016). And in the two cities they're still servicing (Munich and Berlin), they basically just connect the passenger with either a licensed "beige" taxi, or with a...

I don't get any faster speeds with my car and I get my updates just fine. Your car has all night to download, while it's parked. Also remember, it doesn't require wifi to download updates, it will use 3G/LTE, too. (For map updates, happening once in a blue moon, it will strongly prefer wifi, though)

Single bar is fine. As I mentioned in my earlier post, the download speed doesn't really matter much, it'll still download any updates. No need to add any wifi infrastructure. As @mspohr suggested, you can run a non-flash speed test on the car's browser if you're curious. But as long as you can...

He might, but since it was his first post (which implies that he's at the initial "lets make sure my car has everything it needs" stage) and since people don't typically often sit in their car in the garage using their phone, I assumed he was worried about his car not getting good wifi. I could...

Germany has a federal law that every Taxi has to have the color "light ivory". (Well, technically, it has to be color RAL 1015 from color palette RAL 840 HR) So yup, they had to repaint it :)

How many bars does the wifi symbol show on the 17" screen when you connect your Tesla to your Wifi? If you get connectivity, you don't need a range extender. As far as I know the antenna for Wifi is in the right side mirror (so not inside the car). Also, even if the speed is slow, it'll still be...

The *only* way green1 incurs any fees is if the charger stalls are all busy and he's not moving his car within 5 minutes of it being done charging. Everyone is arguing with him whether or not Tesla can get him to pay those fees, but that's between him and Tesla and I couldn't care less. What I...

if you want to get a feeling for what you're in for, this thread is a good place to start. Its a fun read and also has a lot of information.

I would expect that Tesla uses the same CAN message IDs for the S and the X, so there's no reason you shouldn't be able to use TM-Spy on your X. I've used it before and it doesn't care about the model of your car, it simply translates the messages.

Because he wanted something that doesn't slip and that uses the whole jack surface. He explained that in his post.

I usually just select the xfinitiwifi network in the car, then select the car's browser and try to browse to any URL. The portal will come up and I provide my username/password, after which the car works fine on the wifi network.

You can always try and recover whatever was deleted from your card. Here's one article talking about how to do it on a Mac: How to Recover Deleted Photos From Your Memory Card or Smartphone

It should be opt-in, not opt-out. Don't display ads unless I gave permission *first*. Products that I buy that don't have ads when I buy them, if the vendor decides to try and make an extra buck, the right thing for them to do is to ask me first if I'm ok with it.

So I woke up to a "New Software Available" notification this morning. Alas, after updating, all I got was "bug fixes" in the form of 2.36.31. Tesla can be such a tease sometimes.

I assume you meant you're on 2.32.23 (the version you list doesn't exist). I'm still on 2.28.19; that's 14 versions behind the latest reported one on ev-fw.com. I'm not too concerned about it.

I think they added the auto-closing charge port to dual motor cars, so I believe you need a D. (And a US/CAN model at that. The European charge port is bigger, and apparently has no space for the door motor). My 85D has it, manufactured a month after yours was delivered.

I wrote that before you added the second part about what the app can send to the car :)

Damn. You beat me to it :) Just got finished decoding all the commands. All my stuff done is with iOS, what I'm seeing matches what you put on Github. I think you missed the autopark:heartbeat_app -> timestamp in your list

Tesla switched to WebSockets for Summon and HomeLink. They connect to wss://streaming.vn.teslamotors.com/ On a successful connection, the server responds with...

The new summon/homelink commands use the streaming API (streaming.vn.teslamotors.com). For streaming, the Tesla app ignores any proxy settings that are set on the device, and talks directly to the server, so a proxy like Charles or Fiddler is useless for determining what the command syntax is. I...

It's no longer possible to do this since the OS now does certificate pinning and the Tesla app properly verifies the server certificate. Installing a trusted root cert on the phone that "issued" the MITM certificate will not work anymore. To still be able to do a MITM on SSL iOS needs to be...

The wording on the "my tesla" section, where you sign up for the extended service plan, is quite clear: "Pre-paid annual service plans are available for purchase up until sixty days after delivery. The Extended Service Agreement may be purchased no later than thirty days past the expiration of...

@4dme Tesla only supports a single Bluetooth connection at a time. You cannot pair both your phone and your iPad at the same time, even if it is for different usage types.

I have about 200 contacts and when I walk to my car, by the time I'm buckled in and ready to go, they're already loaded. It seems that when the car senses the key and extends the handles it already starts the Bluetooth connection. Haven't verified that theory, just going off my experiences...

The car downloads the contact list when the phone connects via Bluetooth. If your wife's phone is connected, her contact list is what is available. Same, when your phone is connected, it's your contact list only. The list is not preserved or saved in the car. As for which phone it uses when...

I would assume it's stepped to avoid light reflecting off the surface into the camera. With the right stepping it should have almost no surface/angles to reflect.

I didn't get a separate alignment sheet. Only the service invoice. Didn't know I had the option of getting a sheet that showed details. I've attached the part of the invoice where it lists the alignment work.

I just had my one-year service done and the alignment was $150 (the service center called me and confirmed the cost with me before they performed the alignment.) However, on the bill it showed up as $550, since they didn't break out the cost of the service ($400) separately. I would venture a...

Both. The AppleTV to handle HomeKit requests coming from your iDevice, and the Raspberry Pi running Sam's code to interface with the Tesla servers and perform your configured actions.

As I was charging today around 2:30pm a very nice guy from Tesla walked up, asking how long I needed because they were going to turn off power for a bit so they could bring the remaining stalls online. So I assume unless they ran into a problem all 6 stalls should be working now.

In 6.2, the trip planner would always pick the supercharger that's 10 miles from my house as the first stop whenever I was doing a long distance route, even if the car was already charged 100%. With 7.0 it routed me properly, to the first supercharger I actually have to use, 180 miles away. So...
