The car used to have a limit ... caught out a lot of people when Tesla changed it to be "unlimited" ... mine was on for three days in mid winter before I realised ...

Other half plugged car into supercharger today. It didn't charge. I hadn't explained my schedules and that the charge limit was set to 55%...
Oops. obvious teslafi caveat that the car can seem to do weird things to anyone other than the geek in the house.
Still, she didn't really need to plug it in - no long journey, it's just the supercharger is where she was going for something else.

tl;dr
Can TeslaFi be setup before collection? So to start logging info from the outset without having to worry about setting things up on collection?
Presumably once I've got the initial stats, if I don't want to continue I don't have to pay anything.

What benefits does a referral bring to either party? Don't want to use up one if I don't stick around for too long although I am tempted to stick with it for a year if it works well. No justifiable reason to other than ex tech curiosity.
I find it useful and have just paid my first month £4 i think. Charts all your trips, charges, sleeps. You can calculate costs. See Journeys made, Battery state and how much it has degraded. Schedules is really useful to automate things such as preheat car in morning at a cetain time, change battery Charge % at different locations on different days etc. Like on a Friday mine ups to 95% for my weekend home trip and to last the weekend 85% all other weekdays.

Correct, it's just a trial
You don't have to put a credit card in and then remember to cancel or anything dubious like that. You do have to provide your Tesla Account Credentials (or generate a Token yourself), so you will have to trust TesalFi (same for any other 3rd party API widget-tool-thingie)Not sure about your comment of "initial stats" though, you do get those of course, but the benefit from TeslaFi is an ongoing log of your car data, battery degradation, whether your car software version is current or lagging behind (you can see what percentage of the Fleet is ahead/behind you), where you have been (e.g. business expenses), cost / energy calculations, diagnosing why the car is playing up e.g. if the API starts showing "API Failure" for prolonged periods, vampire drain, etc. - not sure how you would know that otherwise. A scheduler so you can have the car charge to 100% shortly before departure, or turn on Climate just before you leave home for work, and work for home, send you a message if you forget to plug in, and so on. And loads of stuff for the Geeky - whether your battery heater comes on during charging in Winter ... there are hundreds of different API data points, logged every minute, 24/7/365 whilst you use TesalFi.
Of course if after the trial you find that that stuff isn't worthwhile to you then you are done, its just a trial
10 day trail is extended to a month, and US$5 for the referrer IF you then pay a subscription (US$50 p.a. per car)
I admit I am a bit of a geek when it comes to these things. That said, I am finding TeslaFi money well spent and I enjoy having the level of detailed information it provides. For me, the less than £3.50 per month (if you pay for a year in advance) is totally worth it. My only hesitation was providing my Tesla account login details so that it could generate a token, but after doing quite a bit of reading on the internet I got comfortable it was very low risk.

Well thanks to @davidmc I have signed up - yes - I know he said don't activate, but it I set it all up day before collection and on collection day, once the app got connection whilst waiting to get called, could apply the Tesla account info so it was logging right from start even when rushed out the door.
Question for all you Teslafi pros! I can see you can merge journeys but I can only merge 2, is it possible to merge more? For example if I get out to unload the boot and drop off at an airport then on the way back home stop at the services before going home, could I merge all 3 'journeys'? Thanks

Me neither. Bizarre.
It's the cold weather (seems to be the reason for everything unusual)
Do you also see a blue sliver in the battery display, or a snowflake ? If not, perhaps there's a minimum difference needed between battery_level and usable_battery_level
