The fleet API is something different and in early testing, this is a change to the existing API call
TeslaFi may have implemented a fix for their location data before it became a problem. They are already working on the new Fleet API. From their update notes 3 weeks ago:
Teslafi will probably be getting the location from the streaming API which is why they can still do it.
The "old way" seems to be a simple API which returned a bunch of stuff like charging details, location, status etc and thats had the location info removed.
There was also a streaming feed which things like the map uses. If you upgrade to the 38.6 the new icon only seems to appear if you open the app and look at the map section, when you just open the app and get charge level etc it doesn't show
The new way requires all sorts of tokens and potentially the 3rd parties paying for use and some new requests, I doubt anyone is actually using this in anger including Teslafi.

init6: I'm curious what you, and others, plan to do going forward. It sounds like Adrian has just posted his last update to TeslaMate.
I did some research in to TeslaFi and Tessie. As of now I'm leaning towards Tessie. I'm not happy about paying and not having something that runs on my hardware.
I'd love to learn from the community here, see what everyone is planning. Thanks!

As a TeslaFi user my view is that its "not a lot" and the number of features (like Tesla car itself) keeps growing.
And I certainly don't want the hassle of self-hosted, based on what I read in this thread (and I do Database DEV for my day job, so I'm definitely capable)
I don't mind paying if something has a post-1982 interface, so if Teslamate becomes unworkable I'll likely move to Tessie
I may teach myself Elixir to prolong the life of my instance though.

I don't know about others but I'm not doing anything until we know whats possible in the new world and how much it will cost. I know Tessie are saying they offer a lifetime subscription but they won't if Tesla start charging them more than they make, or they'll degrade the service (frequency of polling as the fees appear to be transaction volume) which may render it useless.
Sit tight, use the current Teslamate until it stops for good and see what the world looks like at the time is my plan.

I know what you mean. At first I was leaning towards TeslaFi, but gosh...no app and it looks like Windows 1995. I'm a Mac guy, so I definitely don't want a Windows 1995 look.
And I have the impression TeslaFi tracks much more than Tessie, but I think it tracks the things I care about the most...so it'll work. And I like that the developer is active here on these forums.
And paying isn't the end of the world, perhaps Adrian would have wanted to keep TeslaMate going if there was a dependable financial incentive (rather than only a donation model).
I have signed on to continue communal support of TeslaMate and have been active in the repo for years. However, I have zero Elixir programming skills and that is where the core of TeslaMate's functionality comes from. There are discussions to move it to another language or as previously mentioned, move to TeslaLogger. I do not like that TeslaLogger sends data back.
As previously mentioned, I have also asked TeslaScope about a TeslaMate import functionality. They added it to their backlog and will look into it. But heard nothing yet.
My desire option is self-hosted and not provide data / credentials to a third-party. But alas, we shall see where it goes. I have also debated just dropping any data logging all together.
You should only need point back to
Code:
image: teslamate/teslamate:latestI thought TeslaLogger only shares if you toggle on the anonymous data collection? Is there something else they're sharing? From the app:
I tried that last night and it wouldn't give me location data. I might try again today.
Right now the only fork working for me is seanlw
curious to hear too -- i have no concerns w/ sharing charge/degradation myself. Curious what else is sends back
