Moderator comment - thread renamed from "TeslaMate update"
As some of you will know, I’ve been using the open source Tesla data logger called TeslaMate since the beginning of February. I’ve been very pleased with it, and it has run faultlessly since I first installed it, and subsequently through half-a-dozen updates.
I’ve just installed the latest version, which is quite a major update, as it now uses the streaming API from Tesla, and so doesn’t need to wake the car at all. This means there is no chance of losing the first part of the drive data.
You can find more details here:
Docker install | TeslaMate
For those of you with more knowledge than me, here’s an excerpt from the release notes:
Enhancements
Streaming API
As the first and only Tesla logging app out there, TeslaMate now use the Tesla streaming API! This brings the following improvements:

Enhancements
Streaming API
As the first and only Tesla logging app out there, TeslaMate now use the Tesla streaming API! This brings the following improvements:
- High precision drive data. Rather than active polling, the streaming API allows for passive consumption of a high frequency data stream with the most important drive data (position, heading, speed, power, elevation etc.).
- Actual elevation above sea level. Up until now TeslaMate used satellite terrain data to get the elevation. Driving through tunnels or across a bridges therefore resulted in inaccurate recordings. This is no longer the case!
- Bluetooth hints are no longer needed! Using the streaming API does not prevent the vehicle from falling asleep, thus enabling continuous monitoring. This allows the car to fall asleep more quickly (no more idle timer) and we don't miss up to 21 minutes of driving because of halted polling.
