View Waze Incidents on the Tesla browser

[waynesworld]

It worked for me as well. This web app is so helpful. Many many thanks for providing it.

 

[WannabeOwner]

Don't forget this is a free app, no ads, labor of love.

Indeed, and I'm grateful for that (and would be quite happy to contribute). However, if it shows me a map with no traffic incidents, when in fact the data feed has a problem, plus no message that there is a problem then I can't really rely on it and I'm going to have to use Waze on my phone anyway

FWIW Google Maps, on Tesla Screen, showed no traffic problems either, so that was no help

Should be fixed. Please try again.

Thank you ... working again! I really like the traffic information and the Supercharger queue data.

The SpC queue doesn't look accurate. No one is in the queue for any of those locations? Doesn't sound right and how do you report that?

You just did ... please see the emoticon again?

It reports people who have the Tesla Waze app running when they are at the supercharger. Others don't show up, as a source isn't available to the developer.

I think you can manually add others to the list when you are there, but I have not done it.

Looks like the site is down? If and when this gets running again, would you have a problem with me integrating this into QuickTesla ?

Cheers!

To the OP, are you incurring any hosting costs or bandwidth charges for this? Is there a way we can throw some cash into the hat to help pay for this if you are?

Works for me? Anyone else having issues?

No problems with integrating into QuickTesla. The more the merrier!

There are some minimal expenses. Part of this was an experiment with using Google's AppEngine/Cloud services vs my traditional hosting which is done on AWS.

Noticed recently that the google search picks up the https version of the website. Surprisingly, the Tesla browser doesn't support SNI (verified using TLS SNI Test Site: *.sni.velox.ch) and it won't load the https version of the site because the site runs on a shared Ip service (Google App Engine).

So, in order to work in the Tesla browser, there's 2 options:

Non-SSL:
Waze for Tesla Incidents and Supercharger Traffic


SSL (doesn't need SNI because it's served off of a *.appspot.com cert):
Waze for Tesla Incidents and Supercharger Traffic

Why can't I get this to work? It always says website not available. Is this different from the iPhone waze app?

As to your second question: yes, it's different. It doesn't do navigation or routing; what it does is report conditions where you are: traffic and incidents.

How frequently does the list of Supercharger sites get updated? As an Welshman living in exile in Scotland I'm very excited about the new Sarn, UK site (opened 25th July) - it's listed on supercharge.info but I don't see it listed on Waze for Tesla yet (I have panned over to Wales as I'm not located near there).

I've recently come back to the browser in my Model S having given up on it as it's so slow, and rediscovered the refreshed qtes.la with an integrated link to Waze for Tesla. This is really neat so thanks fact200 for continuing to update your webpage! I will be using it a lot more now in conjunction with the weather and plugshare links on qtes.la.

I just wish I lived near a Supercharger site - I only get to visit one a couple of times a year: I've checked over the past couple of days and have yet to spot any cars detected - I'd love to spot myself on there and to try manually updating the queue information

Updated just now. It's an easy process to update, but I keep it under manual control because I don't have any guarantees that the data source won't suddenly change formats.....

Thank you fact200! You've made this Welshman very proud to see the first Welsh Supercharger on Waze for Tesla

Now I need to see if I can persuade some UK MS drivers to open the webpage when visiting chargers...

Reading back through this thread, if I understand correctly users can manually log queues at Superchargers but can't add in other undetected cars also charging (which unfortunately appears to be the vast majority). Would it be possible to add a feature so that undetected cars can also be manually added? Hopefully this would improve the reporting accuracy as you would only need one user at a busy site to update the stats rather than relying on everyone running Waze for Tesla.

Sorry if this is already implemented - I'm too far away from a Supercharger site to test it before posting here

Great idea! Will try to incorporate this into a future release, but I'm open to UI ideas. One of the general issues with the Tesla browser is it's poor performance. So for the most part, I try to minimize the amount of necessary interaction.

Wow! Amazing.
Thanks for these improvements. I use it all the time and this will make it even better.
(I particularly appreciate showing the direction of traffic delays.)

More than amazing, game changer!
