Same. On my Mac after awhile it just locks up. I usually notice when I don't get a text notification about charging starting/stopping. I kill and restart the app and all is fine again for another week or so.

I've only been using VT (mac) for two weeks now but it is a neat program and I really appreciate the work that has gone into it.

ive been using VT since May and its worked fine. but for th last week i get incorrect credentials when i try to log in. should i down load and start all over?

 

[wayner]

Try logging out and logging back in. It seems like you have to totally re-authenticate every few months.

 

[phlex]

it wont let me log back in..says my credentials are not valid. but they are. there doesnt seem to be a "lost my password option". i didnt lose my email address nor my password, but if that option existed i could use it as a fix...

Are you running an older version? If so, scroll back a few pages to find the posts that link to the reason for the new, experimental versions. (I'll try to find one of them and come back and edit this post with a link.)

Edit: Here's one:

There were major changes made by Tesla, requiring major changes to Visible Tesla.

You need the version of the software available in this post:

I'm back to having my locally built copy of newish code not accept my password. It probably isn't exactly up to date with GitHub but it's reasonably close. I'd guess Tesla is making some more changes, but I haven't had time to look into it.

Joe, I've been waiting seems like years since I made the order, read a great lot of pages here, downloaded your fab app, and tonight fired it up following yesterday's delivery.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Yee-haw.

Have put a drink for / with you including a toast on my bucket list.

Thank you for a great presentation of and interface with the machine's data and control systems.

Too late to play tonight but will tomorrow.

In the meantime, Bravo!

@jpasqua Would it be possible to add a REST call to turn on the HVAC? (so I could have my automation system turn on the car's HVAC based on my calendar). Thanks !

I have a P85D with an (of course) 85kWh battery, but I'm seeing a 70kWh in "details" in VT.
Also, parking sensors are shown as "false".
Security package is also shown as "false".
Everything else look correct.
Is this something strange with the VIN?

What a great addition to the car; thanks!

i just downloaded and installed for the first time tonight.

kept getting error message that my login credentials were wrong (even tho they were right).

had to go searching for the new software on Page 176 or whatever. wasted a lot of time. might want to put the new version on Page 1 of this thread.

Joe, now that the autopilot is out: Can VT record the state of the AP? It would be even better if there is accelerometer data some exposed? Then not only tesla but we could also tell if AP operation reduces or increases accident rates and how these rates develop over time. Fascinating stuff one can do with real data. Best & tks.

I think Tesla is going to be very careful about letting any external systems get to see AP data for fear of the security holes it might inadvertently open up for remotely controlling the car.

Yeah the battery size is a known bug. I tracked down the cause but don't remember if I fixed it and sent a pull request in or just haven't bothered to fix it. Tesla stuff just hasn't been on my radar much the last few months.

VisibleTesla doesn't get knowledge of what's on your car form the VIN but from the option codes that Tesla gives us. But our understanding of what the option codes mean aren't 100% acurate. To boot Tesla keeps changing things. You can't have the security package unless you're in Europe so I don't think you actually have it. Tesla may have removed the parking sensors option code from cars given that all cars have them now.

@jpasqua Using VT .05.08 app on my mac with Mac OS El Capitan 10.11 and (i have Java 8 Update 65 build 17 installed but I am using the mac app so i do not know if that matters) the maps are not displaying properly for me. When configuring a geofence, if i zoom out the radius disappears so i can not see the extent of the the geofence anymore or set it accurately.

Also on the Location tab, if i select Satellite, the screen turns white.

Is there something I need to tweak on my end? Thanks!

Never mind, it's working now... I don't know why.

Since installing the last OSX update (El Capitan 10.11.1) Visual Tesla no longer launches for me. from launching. It just bobs in the task bar then exits. Anyone else see this?

Visible Tesla works fine on one of my computers, but will not run on a different one. When I try to run it on the other computer I get this error message:

if I click on More Information, I get this:

and here's the rest:

Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening? Thanks.

Need more information in order to diagnose. What operating system and version is on each computer? Which version of VT? Are you running it with the Java version that is supplied with VT or the Java that is on the computer? Have you tried uninstalling/completely removing VT and reinstalling on the computer that is failing?

The symptom suggests a corrupted installation/configuration or an installation that is trying to use an old version of Java that does not support the features needed by VT.

@jpasqua - VT is a great app. Ive been working with the API for my own silly education and purposes and you seem to have solved something inside VT that I don't see how to do via the APIs:

The inside/outside temperature only seem to be reported when the HVAC system is on. So I turn on HVAC, wait a few seconds for it to come online, then get the values. Thats fine, but I don't want to leave my HVAC running when I'm just collecting state in the middle of the night so I turn HVAC off. Problem is next time I go to the car the system is off inside the car and I have to manually turn it on there.

When I use VT to get the current temperature inside the car it doesn't leave my car in that state. What trick did you use?

Thanks!
