3/31/2020

We've been busy the last few weeks working on the largest update to Teslascope since our launch last year. This update focuses on a blend of new features, quality of life improvements, and further translations to the entire service. We'll break down everything below.

Vehicle Page Improvements

• The Software Update page has been given a major rework, adding some community requested features such as the days between updates, and how many days since individual updates were first seen by the fleet.
• Your shared charging sessions now appear on your vehicle's page.
• The main vehicle page sidebar has been slightly redesigned and now appears better on all devices.
• A new Statistics section has been added to the bottom of all vehicle pages, which displays some basic metrics about driving and charging sessions, the vehicle's current autopilot hardware version, and how long it has been part of the Teslascope fleet.
• You asked for it and we listened. Direct links to the Lifetime Charging Sessions, Charging Rates (Plans), and Shared Charging Session pages have been added below the "Recent Charging Sessions" section.
• Similarly, the Lifetime Driving Sessions and Shared Driving Session pages have been added below the "Recent Drives" section.

Vehicle Debug

The Vehicle Debug / Configuration page has been given a major rework, adding new options for waking up your vehicle and checking its current state (ie: online, asleep, offline).

API / Developer Documentation Improvements

We've redesigned the entire developer documentation to be easier to use and navigate on any device. There are also new API endpoints that have been added with this update:

• Vehicle Wake Up: Allows for sending pass-through requests to Tesla's APIs to wake up your vehicle.
• Vehicle Commands: Allows for controlling various aspects of your vehicle. For owner safety, we do not allow for unlocking/locking via this endpoint.
• Vehicle State: Allows for requesting the current state (ie: online, asleep, offline) of a vehicle.

Additionally, we've improved our Software Update endpoints to provide more information such as git commit and the parent update (that shares release notes).

Miscellaneous Changes / Bug Fixes

• A new Vehicle navigation dropdown has been added which now contains direct links to the Calendar, Trips, Software Updates, Debug, and Vehicle Settings.
• The top navigation bar now fixates once you've begun scrolling down.
• Selecting a language via Account Settings will now immediately reflect the changes instead of requiring a page reload.
• More areas of the service have been translated.
• Fast-charging sessions will now display the type on charging session boxes and individual pages. (Thanks Jip#1234!)
• Fast-charging sessions will no longer incorrectly be considered Supercharging on individual Calendar day pages.
• Charging and Driving Session boxes now display an icon if the session occurred today.
• The Update History now includes a vehicle's hardware version.
• Software Update pages now display how many vehicles received an update in the US and elsewhere.

New Languages

We've recently added Ukrainian as an option and have Russian, French, Spanish, and Turkish underway.

The following questions were added to the Help Center under the section Security:

• Does Teslascope support 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)?
• Can I disconnect my Tesla Account?
• Can I deactivate my account?

3/2/2020

• We've now added Odometer readings to driving session pages. This is a retroactive change and will automatically include odometer readings for all driving sessions that have occurred since August 7th, 2019 (a few days after our beta's launch).
• Improvements have been made to the driving session data table to display information more cleanly on mobile devices.

• Updated the Front Page to resolve the "Miles Recorded" metric overflowing to the next line.

2/25/2020

Today's update is some quality of life improvements to Charging and Driving Session boxes.

• We've improved the map preview that appears on charging session boxes to display 4x more of the surrounding area to give more context. This was a community requested change. You may need to hard refresh your browser's cache to see the new map previews.
• Fixed a bug where the map previews were stretched or distorted on mobile devices.
• The title on charging / driving session boxes has been made bolder to stand out more.
• The quotes around a driving session's name has been removed.

2/23/2020

Driving Session pages have been given a major redesign, including a beautiful new full-width map with endpoints, improvements for mobile devices, and other small tweaks. We are now using Mapbox instead of Google Maps to provide a more uniform and elegant experience for our community and members.

• The latitude and longitude displayed on the table have been shortened.
• The AC/Climate table column has been combined with the Temperature column to reduce space usage.
• The Edit button's color has changed from blue to green.
• The Delete button's icon has been replaced with a trashcan.
• The drive's quick description box style now properly updates on Dark Mode.

Translations for the following languages have been updated:

• Chinese (Simplified)

• The "Current Drive" box has been moved from the "Quick View" area (above the navigation bar) to the main content area to resolve some issues on mobile.
• Additionally, the "View Current Location" link which originally just opened up Google Maps has now been replaced with a link to the current drive.

2/20/2020

• If a vehicle is in Service Mode (by Tesla or an authorized location), a new message will now appear in the "Last Updated" box on the home page (vehicle list). Clicking on this will bring you to a new Help Center page / documentation with more information.
• Vehicle Controls are now disabled while a vehicle is in service mode.
• Resolved an issue where the Vehicle Controls button would appear on mobile devices even if disabled in vehicle settings.
• Added new error handling for vehicles in Service Mode.

2/18/2020

• Added a notice that displays if an error occurs while connecting a Tesla.com account during initial account setup.

2/17/2020

• Resolved the current speed not using the correct metric on the "current drive" overlay.
• Resolved an issue that made determining whether or not a charging session occured at a Supercharger not work as intended. To provide some background to this:
  • When charging, the "charge state" of a vehicle's API response includes variables that help with determining the connection cable type, the brand, type, and so on. In most cases, the value of the brand while Supercharging was always Tesla. Today, we found that this value infrequently will return as null, while the value for the type will still be Tesla.

2/10/2020

• Added the ability to disconnect your Tesla.com account and its associated tokens from the platform via the Tesla Account page. Once disconnected, all vehicles under the Teslascope account will be temporarily set to Quiet Mode, as any interactions and polling of vehicles is not possible.

2/9/2020

Using Teslascope on mobile has been given a massive rework and redesign focused on usability and making it even easier to navigate to core areas. The "Vehicle Overview" box at the top of the service now remains attached to the top allowing you to always have a glance of your vehicle's status. 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.

2/7/2020

• New pages for Shared Driving Sessions and Shared Charging Sessions have been added to the navigation bar under the respective dropdowns to provide an easier way of navigating directly to these sessions. This was a community-requested feature.
• Driving Session boxes have been improved, now including the battery level and range from start to finish, and a map preview of both locations.
• Charging Session boxes now include a map preview of the location the charge occured.
• Subtle design changes to the vehicle overview page.
