Time4Tesla Dashboard App Update

Hi folks,

A quick heads up that dash.time4tesla.com has been updated:

1. The weather app now includes a radar map (US)
2. The stocks app now provides links to detailed charts et al from Google.

Enjoy,

Rumbles

Do you plan on offering perhaps half a dozen different skins? Or make an SDK on graphic sizes so that others may submit new ones to you? That would be cool. You know me... I'd change that second hand. jk.

This is great and continues to get better! Thanks!

I'm excited to see this app but it appears to be down at the moment. I'm getting an error at dash.time4tesla.com Is that what everybody else is seeing?

Love the new radar option. Whoever is responsible for the website rocks!

 

[Rumbles]

@SuperCoug - Sorry for the troubles. You should be all set now.
@ibcs - Glad you are enjoying it. What are we missing?

Cheers,

Rumbles

An automatic refresh for the stock page. Don't know if it's possible, but when driving during the day I like to keep track of Tesla and Solar City via your web site.

I'm loving it as well. While I guess the Tesla News page is interesting to some, do you have plans for a "real" news page? Maybe rename your current news to "Tesla News" and set up another "News" page with headlines from a few top sources?

 

[Rumbles]

@ibcs - Good suggestion. I have been wrestling with having things update automatically and be potentially distracting rather than asking the user to update. Any thoughts? In the meantime, you can just touch 'stocks' again to have it update...

@JoshG — Understood. What would be your top three news sources?

How about the Duke Chronicle, Duke Basketball Report, etc. (Just a little Chapel Hill dig :tongue

CNN would be my news outlet of choice (I'd say MSNBC, but I don't want to give away my politics...guess I just did!).

I's go with
NPR News (News: U.S. and World News Headlines : NPR)
Wall Street Journal

 

[JoshG]

I like NYtimes, WSJ, and USAToday.
But since you're unlikely to please everyone, maybe in phase two make it configurable?

@Rumbles, I shared your dashboard website with several MS owners at a local high school EV event last weekend. They thought it was very cool and immediately added it to their screen favorites.

Regarding news sites, I vote for USA Today. Thanks again for your work on this!

Looks great on the half browser window. I use it all the time. Also, check out the flux capacitor:

Doe anyone know when it will be possible to get access to some kind of API/Toolkit to develop custom apps which can be lanched on the dashboard itself?

This was announced previously (in 2011, IIRC) but I haven't heard anything about it from Tesla since deliveries began.

What i recall is that at the time it was stated it would be at least a year after deliveries start before this would be enabled. I'd start the first year count at the start of the 400 cars-per-week-deliveries rather than at the time the very first were delivered to customers.

I doubt that the API toolkit will ever be released. Too much room for mischief. Just look at the trouble from NYT article by someone who wanted to cause controversy. The sim card or API toolkit would likely allow easy hacking and make the car a 4700 pound weapon.

I've always assumed their intent was not to allow the API to interact with driving mechanics of the vehicle (such as acceleration, regen, or braking) but rather to allow for media, charging station info, etc. Right on the "hm" line for me is stuff like panaromic roof positioning.

Anyone noticed a problem with the clock since the time change? The time4tesla clock is one hour behind in my Model S. The time displayed at the top of the screen is correct.
