I deleted a few of the telemetry tweets, and now it will only tweet once per hour while driving.
Sad, but I also agree, necessary.

Yes, tweeting is not the ideal way to visualize telemetry data. If they were doing this in a few weeks, maybe we could have some fancy real-time graphs instead...
Are you going to collect and save more data than you tweet? Might be interesting to analyze later.
Not currently. But I'm working on something like that. The twitter thing was just a fun project to play with the data and see what's available for analysis.
teslaguy is backing up. Beep. Beep. Beep.
Just saw this come across the @TeslaRoadTrip twitter stream:
Even though I wrote the code that says that, I was still LMAO.:biggrin:
By the end of this, I'm sure teslaguy and aaron.s will be totally creeped out by their cars constantly tweeting on them. Just ask my wife.

So just to reiterate, we can embed tweets and a live Google map on a landing page here if desired. One of the participants will have to set up Latitude on their phone or whatever.
First of all I'm both amazed and excited that so many people are doing this! I'd join you but we just finalized our order last week (delivery date in March).
Ben, we met in the Boston store way back in September or October , I believe. I'll have to ask the boss in the morning but if she agrees, I'd love to copilot. I'm based in Glastonbury, CT. Will let you know ASAP.

BTW - finding the supercharger is a no brainer - "navigate to tesla supercharger in milford" - it pinpointed the exact location in the faciltiy - with a few feet - how can anyone possibly miss this?
You able to go?
Anyone? I would love to get some video, possibly livestream, if I could ... but really need a copilot for that to be effective ...
Assuming I go, I'm talking about leaving boston around 11pm and driving straight thru ... napping in MD before we leave around 1ish... I'm gonna need a lot of caffeine :smile:
(I'll be smart about it though -- I won't drive if I'm too tired)
The most important thing I want out of all the drives this weekend is for someone to put a dashcam in their car and make a 5 minute video of driving around the parking lot that Broder did. I want to see how many times you can pass the supercharger in 5 minutes and make sure you point out the count every time you go past it. Put this video on youtube, add a nice soundtrack.
Charts and graphs are nice, but I think the video will make the most compelling point.
You don't even need a Model S for that. Anyone that lives near the Milford Supercharger can make the rounds in any vehicle to show how laughable it is to drive around in circles for more than 5 minutes and 0.6 miles.
Oops sorry I meant Delaware. Unless I'm feeling feisty haha. Doubt there's time tho
I'm not gonna lie, the car tweeting thing is really really cool, but for this application, seems like it might get in the way. I'm afraid that the tweet page will be filled with a bunch of status updates about the car's internal temperature, and it's going to detract from the actual progress of the trip. If you want to entice the media to get interested in your story, I can't imagine a reporter sitting down to wade through pages and pages of tweets that are mostly about temps and SoC.
Maybe you might consider setting up a separate twitter account that will collect all of the copious amounts of data so those that are interested can really dig in, but those that are not won't have to wade through all the noise.
