Agreed, if Tesla truly want to kill off all 3rd party access to the API given that they control both the mobile apps and their API it wouldn't be difficult to revise how they're authenticating one to the other. All it would need is Tesla to introduce client certificate validation and it'd break all the 3rd party's connections, and we'd have to start decompiling their mobile apps to figure out what they did in order to get access again.
The fact that they've started with IP filtering could suggest that they're preferring to cut down the biggest chunk of API abusers. Whether they're satisfied leaving it there remains to be seen.
Yay, more broken Pi installs for me to troubleshoot on this board!

I did wonder a while ago about just putting together a bunch of SD cards all set up to run Teslamate on a RPi, to save people having to do the install themselves. The only snag was the need to build in both the Tesla account info and the user's WiFi details, which really is a bit of a showstopper, as I doubt many people would be prepared to share those details.
I suspect we'll see Tesla change the security before long, anyway, as the introduction of two factor authentication only really makes sense if they also make access to the API secure as well, and get rid of the present pretty simple token system.

Several other threads running on this. The outage also extends to Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, in addition to Amazon Web Services. Seems deliberate, but not completely unexpected given that all of these services were using the Tesla API without Tesla's consent (or benefit).

AWS = Amazon Web Services, likely where TeslaFi is hosted.
My guess is that Tesla blocked API access from anything that's not a phone, or their own servers.

this is really terrible......can we get a plug-in devise that can give us the same info....Tesla must really be scared of the information that we can get
Yeah! I'm going back to Audi so that I can use Audifi.com

The Brits seem to be very active. I guess it was in the middle of the afternoon for them when this went down (pun intended).
Teslafi issues?
Teslafi down?
TeslaFi and other AWS and GCP clients currently blocked access to Tesla API

You mean like Scan My Tesla? The app and OBD device and will give you all of the data and then some, but you have to manage it. That's the hard part.
Apparently the Raspberry Pi versions of TeslaMate are still working...
