Has anyone had experience with “speed clocking”

If so, could you share 0-60 numbers you achieved. Please mention model info

I’ve had this great app since inception but never tried speed clocking till today

I assume I’m doing it correct ??
- tap to start at 0 mph
- gun it
- tap stop anytime you get over 60 mph

At any rate, when I tried it today I only got 5.2 seconds in a model S 90D
2 things tho
- battery was under 20%
- I was lined up a bit crooked to start

I have the latest App ( 2.0.10 ) installed on my Samsung S4 at Android 5.0.1 and the App constantly refreshes itself every 1 second.

This is a known issue I've been unable to reproduce but really want to squash for good, it has to do with the Google maps view on the Location screen I believe.

Can you make sure your Google Play services are up to date? Can you use the official Google Maps app on the device successfully? Do you have location disabled on your device? Have you denied the app location permissions? Are you able to navigate the app once signed in? Does the flashing only start once you've connected to a vehicle? Can you check if the error occurs in the Demo mode as well? (Tap the "Demo" button on the sign in screen). Finally, would you mind sending me some logging information by getting the error to reproduce once signed in, then go to the Settings screen and under the Advanced section tap "View Logcat" then in the opened dialog tap "Send to Developer" button?

Is it possible through the app to have the car charge to certain % by a certain time? For instance at night I plug in usually only charge to 90%. If I am taking a road trip the next day I would like it to charge to 100% but only complete that right before I leave at a specified time, ie charge to 90% when I plug in at 5pm and the have it charge to 100% from 5 to 6am. Thanks for the feedback.

Yes. This thread is for the app, Dashboard for Tesla, and the feature you're looking for is supported within the app and is called Smart Charging.

I guarantee a low battery has both a natural reduction in performance due to the batteries themselves and also an intentional reduction in performance by Tesla to stave off range anxiety. If your battery is cold, or has a yellow dashed line anywhere on the power gauge you can bet your performance is limited.

In terms of speed clocking, you don't need to stop the speed clocking yourself if you're using a specific speed clocking scenario that isn't data collection. If you want to time your 0-60 times then select the 0-60 scenario in the bottom slider of the Speed Clocking screen, then press the green start button for it to turn yellow waiting for you to reach the starting condition (0 mph for 0-60 for example). Once reached, the button turns blue and you're free to punch it at which point the button turns red. Once your scenario conditions have been met the recording will automatically stop. If you're using the data collection scenario, you will have to stop the recording yourself by pressing the red button.

You can then analyze the recording data within the app pressing the Details button where you're given raw numbers, calculations and an interactive graph, you can also export the graph image as-is or the raw data of the recording in CSV format right from the details dialog. You can also view past recordings if you chose to download the raw data to CSV.

I have a Model S 60D I recently upgraded to 75D, I then had it uncorked for an extra 1.0s off my 0-60 and verified it via speed clocking. Interesting to note, the uncorking raised the max power available from 275 kW to ~337 kW which explains the faster 0-60 times!

I recommend doing multiple recordings then averaging the results you find because internet connectivity between your vehicle, Tesla's servers, and your device can all play a factor in the accuracy of a recording.

Here is the uncorked sample:

Thanks for the full explanation. I didn’t select the scenario when testing

Thank you. So I believe I need to have the tesla on constant connection and allow charge stopping to do what I am looking for, correct? Also what is the tesla battery usage for the constant connection?

Thank you. So I believe I need to have the tesla on constant connection and allow charge stopping to do what I am looking for, correct? Also what is the tesla battery usage for the constant connection?

I'm pretty sure this is how mine is set up -- Turn off scheduling in the car and so it wants to always charge but the 'allow charge stopping' in the app turns it off. I have a separate 'Roadtrip' setup so mine finishes about when I plan on leaving. This is normally unchecked and I use my 'home' setup.

Re: Battery usage -- I would suggest that you test the constant connection yourself to see what it is on YOUR vehicle with/without ENERGY SAVING and/or Always connected.

From the link he provided you (maintain internet connection):

Smart Charging
An exclusive, one-of-a-kind feature for your Tesla. You can now have complete control over your charging schedule.
Smart Charging allows you configure charging locations such that charging will complete at your desired completion time, while optionally respecting your off-peak time restrictions. In other words, instead of scheduling when to charge, you schedule when charging should complete.
This just-in-time charge completion gives you a warm battery at departure, has the HVAC running for your departure, and can save you money by restricting charging to off-peak hours while ensuring your battery is as charged as possible by your completion time.
Requires your device to stay powered on, and requires both your Tesla and your device to maintain internet connection.

Thank you! Will be waiting for it.

@ANATOLYDDS , unfortunately iOS support has been postponed indefinitely due to Apple policy preventing apps by the nature of a 3rd party Tesla from being sold on the app store. Also, background service restrictions on iOS would prevent certain advanced features from working altogether, such as plug-in reminder, smart charging, automatic behaviors, camper mode, and cabin temperature protection. These services would need to be moved to a 3rd party web service which inherits large overhead in terms of service security and operating costs.

I may have a solution in mind for all users, iOS included, but that is in the future and will be reported on by then.

This is a known issue I've been unable to reproduce but really want to squash for good, it has to do with the Google maps view on the Location screen I believe.

Can you make sure your Google Play services are up to date? Can you use the official Google Maps app on the device successfully? Do you have location disabled on your device? Have you denied the app location permissions? Are you able to navigate the app once signed in? Does the flashing only start once you've connected to a vehicle? Can you check if the error occurs in the Demo mode as well? (Tap the "Demo" button on the sign in screen). Finally, would you mind sending me some logging information by getting the error to reproduce once signed in, then go to the Settings screen and under the Advanced section tap "View Logcat" then in the opened dialog tap "Send to Developer" button?

Interestingly, no more flashing today and the App works as advertised. Go figure.

You should have the "always connected" setting in the car enabled just for faster connection times when using any mobile app, but it shouldn't be required. The drain on the battery is negligible, near-zero. As for the battery drain on the device using smart charging, the smart charging service checks in on the vehicle every 15 minutes or so, so the battery drain there is also negligible, over the entire night it may have only ever sent 30 network requests where each request is few hundred bytes at worst. The only constraint is that the vehicle and your device maintain internet connection so that every 15 minutes the check-in is successful.

On to your main question, the feature you're looking for that allows you to charge to 90% immediately then charge to 100% just-in-time for your departure time isn't incorporated into smart charging yet, however you could achieve this behavior using a combination of Smart Charging then either the scheduled charging in the car, or using the Automatic Behaviors feature (to start charging at a scheduled time just like the one in the car).

It should be simple enough to add this to smart charging, so I'll add it to the list and will get to it shortly.

To developer. Any ETA on the Samsung Gear S2 app?

I plan to expand to Samsung Gear soon, I can't give an ETA but know it's the next big thing at which point the Android may not be touched for a while so I'm hesitant to jump right in while still finishing some things in the mobile app.

Hey all,

Just released a small update with the following changes:

• Added vehicle uncorking eligibility detection to home screen - I wish I had this last year!
• Added Preferred Range configuration to the 1x1 Charge widget
  
• Added power-acceleration (kW/s) axis option to speed clocking details graph
• EU vehicle rated-ideal range swap is now respected
• Set charge limit from the Wear app now allows 95%
• More minor bug fixes and reliability improvements

Remember if you don't want to delete then re-create your 1x1 Charge widget to change the preferred range, you can edit the configuration of a widget at anytime by tapping its ID-card on the Widgets screen while signed into the app (even signed into Demo mode should you be offline).

The new power-acceleration axis option for speed clocking was an idea I had to really show the difference uncorking can have on your Tesla (if applicable). See more details here.

-

Also, good news is Tesla is rumored to be adding more functionality to their APIs, something I'll look to consume immediately and add into the app. Seat warmers!

-

Lastly, not so good news - I'll be out of town January 5th to January 10th unable to respond or address issues much at all.

If anyone is looking for promo codes, just send an email to support and you'll receive a few of them. If anyone has a general app question, be sure to search this thread first as it likely has been answered before, or just ask anyway and if none of the members here get back to you I'll reply as soon as I can.

Thanks all for your support, as usual I'll monitor this thread and emails closely until I leave.

Happy 2018!

Hey all,

Today I did a thing — I released my new app for Android, Dashboard for Tesla, on the Play Store.

Background

This project was conceived a few months back while waiting for the delivery of my Model S (which I now have and adore ♥). I was excited to learn I could be controlling my expensive new gadget from my phone. Like all new Tesla buyers stuck waiting, I spent many hours pouring over the details but ultimately felt let down by what Tesla's official app has to offer after their 4+ years.

There is immense potential laying dormant here, a state-of-the-art, always-on-and-connected vehicle should be fully exploited. We should be able to schedule automatic behaviors for a "smarter" Smart Preconditioning, monitor protect cabin temperatures from extreme cold and heat, configure alerts and notifications for everything from speeding to leaving the area, speed clocking with graphical analysis for 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile, and log all vehicle data to our own local or remote databases for security and analysis purposes for tracking battery degradation or optimal performance.

The capacity is there, we just need an app that can do it. I figure since Tesla won't do it, I'll just do it.

To everyone who does not believe in subscription models for software, you won't like what is coming because that is the future.

That being said, $5/mo is a pretty absurd price when similar apps have a $10 one time fee. I bought Remote S for iOS for $10 and love it. I'd be willing to pay $10/year or $1/mo for it if it were subscription based.

I don't think it is the future. If so peoples won't just not buy the apps plain and simple and adds developer knows that.

 

[claudelaval]

Thanks for the kind words all.

@Akikik Good idea! I see value in being able to automatically turn off Camper Mode if your car battery drops too low (currently supported), as well as your suggestion- turn off at a set time. They aren't mutually exclusive, so it'd give greater peace of mind to turn off if the battery drops below X% OR at ? am/pm. I'll add it to the list for the next release, shouldn't take long.

@Mattzill , thanks for your time, the demo mode is pretty fleshed out, glad you gave it a shot. Only thing you can't test out is the Summon functionality (yet), but trust it works safely, it's well vetted and incredibly stable (I've been testing the hell out of it on my car for months). It supports Standard and Continuous modes as configured in the car's settings, even has a cute heartbeat vibration.

I understand people's apprehension towards a subscription-based model, but the one-time-payment model is not sustainable in the future. It's a necessary evil going towards the operating costs of the great ideas that are in the works. I'm passionate about what's in store, I'm always at work to establish the feeling you're getting what you pay for.

not sustainable in the future? And subscription-based models is DOA! If you need more money put adds on the Apps but no subscription for me.

Apple sucks don't you know that! As far as not paying for the app for one you should be used to paying for stuff considering Apple charges for everything for 2 I would rather pay for an app then have to put up with Annoying ads all the time and have to worry about the developer selling my information of what adds I pick and don't and who knows what else which is 99% of apps today no thank you I'll gladly pay for the app and know all I'm getting is what I paid for and not ads and privacy concerns and everything else that comes with free ad based apps!!!

Where on the home screen am I looking to see the uncorking?

When switching away from the app, I get an app stopped working message from the OS.
