Why do you use TeslaFi?

I like it because it gives me a record of travel. I really like the temperature chart where I can see where things are most efficient. I like the additional detail I get on the firmware versions by actually being a member. I like seeing how much I've charged at each charger and how many kwh I've actually consumed. I like seeing how much drain I'm getting while idling and while sleeping.

Those come to mind.

If anyone wants to try it and get extra time on their trial, use referral code

(I get a month of use out of it, too.. but I get more out of knowing that a useful website will be more likely to survive)

 

I use it for the reasons above as well. I also like the top speed and average speed data on every leg of my journey. What's not to like? Plenty of data on almost every metric!

 

I also use it for my log book for work vs personal trips. Far more accurate than any other method I’ve ever used.

I use it to tell me how much $$$ I am saving (free charging at work), plus logging my travels. Worked well until Tesla API failed yesterday...

 

Some young millennial whippersnapper having just acquired a Model 3, complained that at $5.00 a month, Teslafi is a service that Tesla themselves SHOULD provide for free.

Entitlement much?

 

Tesla provides the API. Said millennial whippersnapper is more than welcome to write their own version of TeslaFi.

 

..I would use more than once daily if there was mobile app

 

When I get around to it, I'm going to try to use the data collected by teslafi to calculate my car's lifetime rated miles versus actual miles driven.

 

I used it to log work versus personal travel using tags. It has an 'auto tag' feature which is GPS based. So every time I drive to or from work the trip is auto tagged as work. It's by far the best vehicle logging system I have used.

 

Do they have an app, or is it just web based so far?

(I didn't seen anything on the Apple App store).

 

It's only web based, but the rendering in a mobile browser is tolerable.

 

I wish they had an app. No in car browser in Australia.

 

For me, at least, it's really not something that I use from the car very often. Every so often I'll be in the middle of a day long drive and want to check something while I'm sitting at a charger. But, frankly, the in-car browser experience for the site isn't very fast. (I'm not MCU2)

Now... from home.. that's a different story. I use it daily from the laptop.

 

I'm going to use your code right now, thanks!

 

I have used teslafi for about a month to fine tune my driving sng charging habits. It has saved me big bucks. I found my charging efficiency is 78%, which means I don't need a NEMA 14-50. It also alerted me to a sudden decrease in range due I think to new tires.

 

I've been using it long enough now that I'm starting to see lots of the same trips between superchargers, at the same time of day. It's kinda fascinating to see the differences in efficiency when you know that the route is identical and the only statistically significant differences are weather.

 

The weather seems to be a big part, and soon, I think I will be able to make plans regarding range using the teslafi data.

Only had it a month, but worth the 5 bucks, even if I stop using it in the future.
