Tesla Account Token Issues

Since early July, we've been encountering an increase in Tesla Account connections failing to refresh tokens properly, requiring our members to reconnect their accounts. We have alerted Tesla of this issue, and they are investigating it.

We have made some adjustments to our backend's handling of tokens while we await Tesla's follow up from their investigation.

If you are impacted by this, you can resolve this in under a minute simply by visiting the Tesla Account settings page, and reconnecting your account. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Pilot V2.0

Pilot is the sophisticated vehicle polling infrastructure that powers the maintaining of 21,000+ vehicles daily. Today, we've reworked this heavily to improve efficiency, substantially reduce queries by utilizing intelligent grouping, and many other refinements. While these changes may not be immediately obvious, they will allow for the continued growth of our platform.

Data Request History

Teslascope now keeps track of the number of "data requests" it makes to Tesla's Fleet API. This information helps us keep track of the average polling interactions per vehicle, in addition to better communicating limitations imposed by Tesla's new developer tiers. While not yet enforced, Tesla will be limiting the number of requests third-party services can make per vehicle daily.

Happy New Year!

We've started the year off with a small bundle of updates and changes.

Vehicle Dashboard

The vehicle dashboard has been updated to now hide inactive vehicles and given their own dedicated page. Vehicles can be marked as inactive by selecting "Inactive" as the Dashboard Type under vehicle settings.

Modern Vehicle Dashboard Improvements

The vehicle dashboard has been refreshed to include newer visuals for the vehicle's current location, in addition to other general refinements. The tire health has also been updated to make it clearer when issues are detected.

Onboarding Improvements

Fixes were applied to prevent stale vehicle information when attempting to force update and wake the vehicle during onboarding. To prepare for the tentative deprecation of legacy APIs, we've also switched to using the official API when signing up.

Tesla Account Changes

• New Tesla Account connections will now require utilizing the official Tesla APIs.
• Vehicle Commands were updated to improve stability.

Safety Score Metrics

In preparation for the transition to Tesla APIs, we've made the tough decision to turn off interactions with Safety Score metrics. Tesla has now yet made this data available via the new endpoints, and as such, access will cease in the following weeks for all vehicles.

We're hopeful this will be restored in the future, however, please send feedback regarding this to Tesla if desired.

Other Changes and Improvements

• 2024 is now a valid year for the vehicle calendar.
• The front page was redesigned with a new dark design.
• Updated dependencies.
