TeslaFi and the new API

[SidetrackedSue]

Is anyone in the US having issues with this?

I found this thread in the UK forum and I am having similar issues despite tesla twice sending me emails saying I've granted access to TeslaFi.

TeslaFi move to new official Tesla API

Got the prompt from TeslaFi this morning to move to the new Tesla official API. Has anyone done it yet? Anything to report? Implications from email that it’s an urgent matter - we seemed to have lost logging sometime this morning. I’m never one to want to be at bleeding edge but looks like...

I've done it and initially it wasn't showing the correct information but it fixed itself within an hour or two. What actual issue are you encountering?

We did it Tuesday morning and again this morning (over an hour ago) after getting prompted by email from Teslafi, saying there was no car associated with our account. Both times we received an email from tesla saying we had granted access to Teslafi.

In Teslafi, the car shows an out of date status. Charge is wrong. The HVAC settings in the car are wrong. Interior and exterior temps are wrong. What Teslafi is showing is the state the car was in after its last drive on Monday night and before it was plugged in (although it does say the car is charging now.)

Teslafi has not logged anything since the vehicle was plugged in on Monday night (i.e. before the token was updated.) And the end SOC on Monday night's drive is wrong. It says 12% but it was 9% and I happen to have taken a photo showing that. The NAV confidently said we'd arrive home with 14% so we didn't detour to a SC, then made it with just 9% by turning off the heat in the car for 70 km of the 110 km drive and averaging 80 kph on the 100 kph road (a safe low speed because it was the flow of traffic due to driving conditions).

I didn’t notice any issues when I switched to the new API, but I haven’t driven the car since. I’ll be driving it today, and will let you know how TeslaFi works afterwards.

Mine also showed out of date for a little while as indicated but eventually got updated. What rights have you accepted? I checked everything except controls since I'm not using TeslaFi to send commands to the car.

Situation is resolved.

I went through TeslaFi support knowledge base. I was not the only one with the problem. There were suggestions about removing the legacy Tesla API settings but mine were all unchecked. Basically, everyone who put in a ticket had the situation resolved.

So I put in a ticket. Situation is now resolved.

Glad you got the issue resolved. For me, TeslaFi worked correctly all along.

I'm glad I got it resolved too. My husband was pushing to install the latest update in case that was the problem, arguing maybe our car wasn't playing nice with the new API due to running an older version. I really want to put off the current update to force it to be downloaded via LTE, in order to figure out whether tesla will do so because this one includes a recall.

When I first did this, it said my car was parked about a mile away from me. I figured it would correct itself and figure things out after a first drive.. and it did

Working well now

I fixed it myself ... told Teslafi to stop charging me the $5/month and delete my account. I have no patience for companies that make the set-up process so convoluted to the point of it's not worth my time and effort. I understand the security aspects, but enough is enough.
