teslausb VS TeslaMate

On the TeslaUSB page, it lists the following Raspberry Pi's as options:

Main difference between the two scenarios, however, is that the 3 was left in a parking garage, while the Y was left in an open field. With the 3 in a parking garage, I don't think the vehicle went over 100 degrees, while the Y, being left in an open field, would sometimes hit about 150 degrees. Because the temperatures were more reasonable in the parking garage, I also left my Raspberry Pi running TeslaUSB in the car, where as with the Y being left in an open field and being subject to extreme thermal temperatures, I opted to use a regular USB thumb drive there.

I've found that using something like TeslaUSB reduces the "blip" quite a bit.

This has had issues since the newer 2021 Intel-based model 3s (and I presume others). https://github.com/marcone/teslausb/issues/564

If you have a Raspberry Pi 0 or 4 you can do a TeslaUSB which let's yoy access the footage over a WiFi gotspot on the thing and a better WebUI.

If you've driven more than an hour since the incident, the footage will be gone (unless you're using TeslaUSB, but I'm guessing not)

I use this for my Teslas Dashcam (it was built for it), but it also has a feature to rsync music files from a network share every time it connects to the network. Sounds like it would cover what you want, and it supports RPI Zero Ws natively.

The graphs linked above were generated by a self-hosted application called TeslaMate, which connects to the Tesla API and harvest data as you drive, so I've got fairly extensive "health stats" for the Tesla I've owned. TeslaScope is a cloud based equivalent, which is cheap, and I also use, but mainly as a backup to my TeslaMate instance.

Interesting, that would work. I didn't know teslafi can CONTROL the car. I'm using teslaMate, which is basically read-only.

Does anyone have experience with a self-hosted solution? Something like TeslaMate or TeslaLogger?

So Tesla drivers have TeslaMate which is a self-hosted data logger for their car's trip data. Anyone aware of anyone building a version of this for our EV6s? The Kia Connect infrastructure claims to have an API. Would be cool to develop something like this for us.

I just referred to a couple of legs from my trip from Sydney to Adelaide with the pod on (using Teslamate) and compared it to another more recent one without the pod on. The last of the three will probably give the best example as it is while driving the Hay Plain which is one of the most boring, flat roads you could imagine. It was during the COVID lockdowns so basically no traffic either.
