Upload data (one of the geeks)

[NigelT]

Noted something interesting recently, my car is uploading A LOT of data very soon after I get home from any journey. I have driven the car twice since Sunday - about 100(ish) miles and it has uploaded 1.5GB.

This has been happening for a while now, seems pretty much every drive further than the local shops is resulting in fairly significant uploads.

Its just phoning home. Tesla can then learn from that data.

Looks like its been shopping at Amazon Prime!

Your drives must be capturing a lot of the trigger images HQ ask the fleet to look out for, which is good. Let's hope it's traffic lights, give-way signs, roundabouts etc

Interestingly enough, so has mine. I've also apparently been downloading a massive amount of data. I've had no updates that would correlate with this activity though. Monday and Tuesday this week.

I did have an open ticket (referenced in the other threads about charging and bluetooth issues) but that was closed on Friday last week as they knew about the issue and said a fix was coming in the next update. Seems odd to then have this activity afterwards.

I wonder if it prioritises data transfer when on WiFi on your drive?

1.5Gb: an unhealthy obsession with traffic cones I’d say!

I just wish they’d use AWS voice recognition too.

I don’t want anything of mine to go to Google or Amazon, thankyouverymuch...

It's an interesting point. I'd be mighty annoyed if I had a data-limited broadband subscription and the car was chewing through that amount of my data!

Better disconnect your left wing mirror, from the OPs pic Tesla already using Amazon’s servers to run the fleet.

almost definitely. something like "wait for wifi for 48 hours, else use LTE"

I've seen the westworld tv series, it's basically Tesla copying your brain. This "robo taxi" is just going to be them printing people that sit and drive the car rather than the onboard computer. 100% fact!

Wow 20GB+ is huge, map update maybe as a precursor to some traffic light automation? Strangely I also had the bluetooth sound issue and made a service appointment which was cancelled after they said it would be fixed in the next update.

At 1.5GB it must have copied my brain several times, ha!

Everything runs on AWS even half of our own government

Interesting, mine sent 700MB this afternoon and it has never been anywhere near that before.

 

[LukeUK]

Just checked, 1.35 GB for mine. I'm driving an average of 6 miles a day at the moment, so it's not like there's loads of opportunities to record data from certain activities etc.

What would surprise me more would be having a £40k car and capped Home broadband! Is that even a thing anymore?

we’re heading into a period when everything is connected, from your fridge to your pets. It’s going to be pretty hard to manage life on a limited data unless one relocates to a log cabin. I know mobiles have caps but surely someone would know this if they used it as a WiFi hotspot?

What apps that thats showing the data usage? Assume its your wifi / router but I like the simple view

Think of someone who is very remote using a satellite link.
