Model S REST API

[jpasqua]

I am not sure if this is against any copyright rules or just not exactly fair to Tesla, but I was able to extract all the images from the iPhone app. They are .PNG's which have images for all of the car colors and for each state of the car.

I am sure the Android app has the same images contained in it. Maybe you could try borrowing them from one of the mobile apps

Good idea. I'll probe the iPhone app. Thanks.

No problem. The IPA file is really just a zip file. So you can extract it and have access to all of the images

2 teslas talkin about their batteries and the weather

Teslasvegas, Twitter Stream, Socket.io (very rough)
wait for (max) 3 minutes before you see first data (tweets) coming in.

service might be interrupted as I'm currently running this off of my laptop.

FYI, I'll be "hosting" a lunch table tomorrow at TESLIVE to discuss the Model S programming APIS. If you are attending please join me to discuss the APIs, share projects/ideas, or otherwise "geek out" on Model S technology.

Very interested in this. Can you look me out? I'm a big guy, not a lot of hair

I'll keep an eye out. I should also mention I'll be wearing a red t-shirt that says "tripography" on the front and back in case you are looking for me.

Done. Now I have more raw material than time to work on it!

 

[markb1]

Is the service down for anybody else right now? Getting "500 - Internal Server Error" and the mobile app is not working.

 

[rbergquist]

Yes - Down for me with same errors. Probably maintenance time.

Would hope maintenance would have a better error message.

Back online.

Haven't read every post in this thread, but did a search and couldn't find an answer. Does the REST API return Lat/Long quicker as the car speeds up? Or is it static? Also, is there an API (maybe Google maps) that would return elevation if fed Lat/Long? Maybe someone has already done this but would be awesome to easily see elevation gain/loss for each data point.

(1)Does the REST API return Lat/Long quicker as the car speeds up? (2)Or is it static? (3)Also, is there an API (maybe Google maps) that would return elevation if fed Lat/Long?

1. In a binary sense yes. When the car is off, the streaming API returns data "somewhat slowly". When the car is moving, it returns data at 1/4 second intervals.
2. Not static unless the car is static. In fact, sometimes when the car is static it returns some (small) variance as well.
3. I presume there is an elevation query available from Google or Bing, but you don't need to do that because the streaming API returns elevation as well.

The (bottom) lines with commas are the streaming API results. The rest are from the other methods.

The header for the streaming data if you want to import into Excel is:

• timestamp,speed,odometer,soc,elevation,est_heading,est_lat,est_lng,power,shift_state,range,est_range

Taking the last row for example:

1373590398452,8,11277.6,90,135,263,36.253632,-120.238269,12,D,231,193

• Drive shift state
• 213mi rated range
• 193mi projected range (based on 30mi back-looking average, IIRC)

My cron job - based on the script posted in one of the early posts - is returning the wrong value for the plug status.

Tue Jul 16 18:30:01 PDT 2013
Plugged in range 201.64
Wed Jul 17 03:00:02 PDT 2013
Plugged in range 198.69


The car was definitely unplugged...

Anyone else seeing this?

Note: I just ran it again from the CLI and the car is plugged in and it returned the right status.

So even if the car is barely moving all the way up to light speed it returns every 1/4 second? 1/4 second seems way fast but ok. So essentially we should be able to build a very robust topo map of all the superchargers and the anticipated rated range needed to travel between them at a given ambient temp, average wind speed, tire size/type and then could determine how fast you could go to get there with a certain buffer range remaining. Very cool!

4 updates a second sounds like a lot until you try and measure 0-60 mph times and realize that its either 5.0 seconds or 5.25 second and nothing in between.

Yah.

Push to Tesla

I apologize for taking this discussion slightly off the topic of pure REST
Is there any documentation on how to push messages to the Tesla's console ?

Say I wanted to "break in" to whatever the driver had displayed on the console at any given time and just overlay the screen with some sort of an (alert) message.

Nope. That kind of functionality would need to be exposed in an official Tesla developer SDK which does not yet exist. It is also likely that when a developer kit is released that such and app would have to be approved by Tesla before it could be made available to others. At least that is how Ford and Audi do things with similar toolkits and functionality. Their concern is that apps should not be distracting the driver, which is also why video is turned off on the center console web browser.

I presume there is an elevation query available from Google or Bing, but you don't need to do that because the streaming API returns elevation as well

Assuming that elevation measurement comes from GPS, don't expect it to be very precise (or accurate). What is the minimum interval by which the reading varies?

Makes complete sense obviously.
Will keep my eyes peeled on that Tesla dev SDK
