I've used TeslaFi for almost 2 years. I've been using Teslamate in docker for about 2 months. I am impressed with teslamate over some of the other self-hosted attempts I've tried. It is more stable and hasn't crashed on me.
For TeslaFi, I'm paying for subscription for 1 vehicle. I love the graphics and the ease of getting your information. But you have to pay for each vehicle. In Teslamate, I'm continuing to learn as I set up and configure things. I have it integrated with Home Assistant and have just configured with my phone to disable falling asleep if it detects my bluetooth getting into the car. I use it on my multiple Teslas. I would hope to stop the subscription for TeslaFi, but until I can figure out how to do everything in Teslamate that I like in TesalFi, I'll continue to pay, but only for 1 vehicle. The developer has actually incorporated a request of mine of a feature that I use in TeslaFi.
I wish I was smart enough to develop an app like that on my own. As far as privacy, I feel that if you're not using the original Tesla App, you're taking the same additional risk with any of theses apps or companies.
