11/25/2020

(Even More) New Group Features

xxx When a group is public, you can now allow Teslascope members to request joining (an opt-in feature), which will now appear on the Manage Members page. From here, you can either Approve or Reject the request.

11/21/2020

Announcement

We've been hard at work on a new version of Teslascope that includes brand-new features, improvements and updates to several pages across the service, redesigns of major components including the navigation bar and header, in addition to further performance optimizations.

A full breakdown of these changes can be found below.

Vehicle Quick View Improvements

xxx The "Quick View" area (shown above the navigation bar) has been updated to now display a visual indication of battery life and the height of this section has been reduced by 10%. Hovering (or tapping) on the battery visualization will display the current range (in miles/kilometers).

On mobile devices, we've now hidden the outside temperature to allow for the Quick View section to take up 42% less space by reducing the amount of "lines" of metrics from three to two. As always, you can still find the Outside Temperature either on the Vehicle Dashboard, or on an individual vehicle's page.

New Feature: Trips

xxx The much anticipated feature, Trips, has now been launched publicly and is no longer in beta! Trips allows you to add driving and charging sessions together to beautifully showcase your road trips and travels.

Want to share a recommended route or charging stops with others? You can set any trip as Public and it'll now appear on your vehicle's page for visitors and other vehicle owners to see.

Lifetime Drives Improvements

xxx The Lifetime Drives page was finally revisited since the launch of the service! A new beautiful map displays all of your driving trips all in one place alongside some metrics. We have some more plans for this page underway, so stay tuned for even more.

Update History (Vehicle)

The personal software update history page for vehicles has been redesigned and now displays new metrics. In the following weeks, we will include comparisons to similar vehicles on the fleet.

Public Charging Statistics

We've officially launched our charging statistics which is now accessible via the statistics section of our service. The main statistics page has received some updates and finally transitioned to using Mapbox.

Siri Shortcuts v1.3

xxx The Siri Shortcuts page has been reorganized based on community feedback to make the setup process clearer for new members.

  • All vehicle IDs under an account are now displayed. Previously this required manually going to vehicle settings to obtain your vehicle's ID.
  • The API key is now displayed in a textarea for easy copying on your iOS device(s).
  • The Setup Teslascope shortcut has been moved to its own area to emphasize that it is required for other shortcuts to function properly.
  • The page will now display better on mobile and tablet devices.

Other Changes and Improvements

  • The main navigation bar has been updated to incorporate our new logo and branding.
  • Vehicle polling will now continue if a vehicle has Sentry Mode enabled.

Siri Shortcuts v1.2

We're excited to launch a new iteration of our Siri Shortcuts which gives you more control over your vehicle using voice controls. The new shortcuts added today include:

  • Unlocking your vehicle
  • Locking your vehicle
  • Enabling Sentry Mode
  • Disabling Sentry Mode
  • Triggering HomeLink

We've also organized shortcuts into groups to make it easier to find the exact one you're looking for! The new groups are General, Access & Security, Climate, and Windows & Doors.

Please note: The usage of unlock/lock shortcuts requires manually enabling an option found under the Advanced tab of Vehicle Settings (opt-in). This is by design and intended to keep accounts that do not wish to use these features safer.

Other Changes and Improvements

  • In combination with the aforementioned Siri Shortcuts, we've added the following commands to the Vehicle Command API: "unlock", "lock", "enableSentryMode", "disableSentryMode", and "triggerHomelink".
  • The Help Center question regarding changing the auto-pilot computer version (ie: from 2.5 to 3) has been updated to reflect recent changes where the debug page was moved to the Advanced tab of Vehicle Settings.

11/9/2020

  • The Software Update API now includes pending vehicles including "Waiting for Wifi", "Ready to Install", "Downloading", and "Installing".
  • UX improvements were applied to the sign up page to help differentiate the two password fields.

11/8/2020

  • You can now click on the software update version on the "available update" dialog/notice on the vehicle dashboard.
  • You can now set negative values for cost per kWh in charging plans. This was requested by many members of the community.
  • Fixed an issue causing "Performance" to be the default trim selected under vehicle settings.
  • Fixed some issues resulting in server errors when attempting to update a vehicle via the "install now" link.

Improvements for Regular Members

Our goal at Teslascope is to provide the best experience for all Tesla owners, without exception. Today, we are releasing a bunch of quality of life improvements that provide some new functionality for regular members as well as much-needed bug fixes.

Calendar and Day View

One of our most popular features now accessible to everyone and no longer requires a premium membership! You can expand upon this feature with charging cost calculations via a premium membership.

Referral Rewards

We've increased the reward for referring others for regular members from one week to two weeks. Additionally, if a premium trial already expired, it will now renew + an additional two weeks. Premium members will still receive two full months of premium credit.

Multiple Vehicle Support

Previously, if more than one vehicle existed on a non-premium Teslascope account, only the primary vehicle would be accessible. Today, we've opened access to the following pages for all vehicles:

  • Individual Vehicle Dashboard
  • Vehicle Settings
  • Vehicle Debug
  • Calendar
  • Day View (Calendar)

Software Updates V2.1

The latest version of our Software Updates rework has now arrived! This update includes improvements to readability, better feature context, and other quality of life improvements. We'll discuss these more below!

Readability

modelsections Since the launch of our release notes, we've always just displayed everything, even if a portion of a feature was just intended for specific models. This would often lead to confusion because of repeating sentences.

With V2.1, these sections are now highlighted and easier to read through.

Context Matters

requirements In order to provide better context for each feature, we've now separated each feature into its own box. Additionally, the hardware requirements and models are now always displayed, no longer requiring hovering over their respective icons.

You can still determine the regions for each update by hovering/tapping on the globe icon as always.

What version was this again?

We've improved the desktop (and tablet) experience by fixating the sidebar as you scroll down on each Software Update page. With this change, you no longer have to guess at what version you're looking at or otherwise miss out on other important bits of information.

9/15/2020

Today is bug catch up day!

  • Optimizations were applied to all Statistics pages, which now load 10x faster.
  • Improvements were made to charging session cost calculations to improve accuracy during degraded polling such as Tesla API issues (thanks Tyler#3443 on Discord)!
  • The Coldest Vehicle leaderboard was removed based on community feedback and to stabilize leaderboard performance.
  • Resolved the current time zone not reflecting correctly on the Account Settings page.
  • Resolved an issue that resulted in the Lifetime Charging Sessions page being inaccessible.
  • Resolved an issue that resulted in all locations pages (Superchargers) being inaccessible.
  • Fixed an issue where the pagination would display erroneously.

Teslascope Updated to Laravel 8

With the official launch of Laravel 8 and PHP 8 just around the corner, we began the process of finally updating Teslascope across two major versions of Laravel. This process began on September 10th and concluded on September 14th.

During the update process, we unfortunately ran into some technical issues that initially resulted in server errors. As a consequence while resolving the errors, cookies for all accounts were invalidated causing every member to be logged out. This was unforeseen and we apologize for the trouble this may have caused.

We'll be continuing to monitor and resolve any issues discovered post-update in the following days. If you notice anything broken, please let our team know at [email protected].

Software Updates V2.0

We're pleased to announce the beginning of our major rework to the Software Updates area of our service.

The individual software update pages have been give a much needed redesign that re-organizes the current and pending installations all in one place. The "Updates Per Day" section has also been moved to the new Statistics section, making it even easier to discover release notes on all devices without extra scrolling.

statisticssection

The new Statistics section now includes two new community-requested metrics; vehicles per country and per model. At a glance, you can now determine which Tesla models and geographical regions have received a specific update. Over time, we'll continue to add new metrics to this section to provide the best experience for the Tesla community.

countriesinhistory

The country associated to each software update is now displayed on our Update History area. This new metric will not be displayed on vehicle pages in order to respect privacy.

  • The Teslascope logo in the footer will no longer spin by default.

7/11/2020

For July, we focused on a massive rework of the service, redesigning many pages to provide a clean, consistent experience for vehicle owners and visitors.

Modern Dashboard + Dashboard Selection

xxx The vehicle dashboard has been redesigned to provide more information at a glance. We've also added buttons for commonly accessed features below each of the three "at a glance" sections.

When a vehicle has not driven or charged recently, these boxes will appear blue to designate being idle. Once active, each section will appear green and display relevant driving or charging information.

You can now change the selected dashboard for each vehicle separately via vehicle settings:

  • "Modern", which displays the most vehicle metrics and provides buttons for commonly accessed features (seen above).
  • "Simple", which is more similar to the previous version of the dashboard and hides some metrics.
  • "Inactive", which is useful when you don't use a specific vehicle often.

Software Update Awareness

xxx Teslascope will now inform you when a software update is available for your vehicle, often long before the Tesla mobile app will notify you. Once downloaded, you can begin the installation right from Teslascope.

Additionally, we've updated the vehicle API to now include variables for a pending software update including the status, version, and download/install percentages.

Driving / Charging Box Improvements

xxx To promote better consistency and allow for displaying more useful data, we've made the following changes to these boxes:

  • Displaying the absolute date (ie: 7/11/29 4:20PM) instead of relative time.
  • Shortened some phrases to display on one line for all devices.
  • "No Cost Calculated" was changed to "Calculate Cost" to better explain the intent.
  • Removed the USD circle icon which would often lead to confusion.

We're also pleased to share that all driving boxes now display the drive's overall efficiency, designated by an icon. You can also hover or tap on the icon to view the exact efficiency of the driving session.

  • 85% or higher will be considered as great efficiency.
  • 75-84% will be considered as good efficiency.
  • 65-74% will be considered as neutral efficiency.
  • 64% and lower will be considered as bad efficiency.

Driving Statistics Improvements

We've increased the amount of days displayed from two weeks to one month in order to give a better impression of changes over time.

We've also applied some subtle improvements to the page's overall design.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • Schedule Sleep Mode is now available for non-premium members as originally intended.
  • Emails sent from our team on special occasions will now be sent from the email address [email protected] instead of [email protected].
  • Fixed a missing icon on the Homelink controls.

These changes should drastically improve the overall experience for everyone who uses Teslascope on the go.

On mobile devices, the navigation bar has been moved to the bottom and now includes icons for each of the original navigation sections, removing the need to expand the menu (hamburger menus suck!).

  • A new "Controls" menu has been added which now allows you to access numerous vehicle and climate controls from anywhere on the service. When toggling this menu, you can continue to view your vehicle's battery and climate status. In addition, the following controls have been added:
    • Closing or venting your vehicle's windows.
    • Opening or closing your vehicle's charging port door.
    • Opening Trunk.
    • Opening Frunk. (make sure to look for puppies when you do so!)
    • Turning on your vehicle's defrost mode.
  • On the Calendar, the current day is now highlighted in green to more easily determine today's date.
