FAQ

Why are no consumption values displayed in Grafana?

Unfortunately the Tesla API does not return consumption values for a trip. In order to still be able to display values TeslaMate estimates the consumption on the basis of the recorded (charging) data. It takes at least two charging sessions before the first estimate can be displayed. Each charging session will slightly improve the accuracy of the estimate, which is applied retroactively to all data.

What is the geo-fence feature for?

At the moment geo-fences are a way to create custom locations like 🏡 Home or 🛠️ Work That may be particularly useful if the addresses (which are provided by OSM) in your region are inaccurate or if you street-park at locations where the exact address may vary.
