Hello everyone, I'm Achao! Today I'm introducing a super useful open-source project—TeslaMate CN Image. Designed specifically for Tesla owners, it helps you better manage and analyze your car's data. As a tech enthusiast who loves tinkering with smart devices, I genuinely think this tool is worth recommending!
Project Overview
TeslaMate CN Image is a Docker image version based on the TeslaMate project, specifically optimized and localized for Chinese users. Simply put, it's like installing a ”black box” in your Tesla, continuously recording various vehicle data and displaying it through an intuitive dashboard.
Key Features
- Complete Vehicle Data Log
- Real-time tracking of vehicle location, mileage, battery level, and other basic information
- Record detailed data for each charging session (charging speed, battery level changes, etc.)
- Driving Behavior Analysis (Energy Consumption, Speed Variations, etc.)
- Localization Optimization
- Optimization of Map Services for China
- Chinese interface support
- Configuration optimized for domestic network environments
- Visual Dashboard
- Exquisite and intuitive data charts
- Supports viewing across multiple devices
- Custom Data Reports
- Privacy
- Data is stored locally.
- Does not rely on third-party cloud services
- Fully autonomous control
Technical Implementation
This project utilizes Docker container technology for packaging. For those less familiar with technical details, it can be understood as a ”one-click installer.” It includes all components required to run TeslaMate:
- Grafana: Data Visualization Platform
- PostgreSQL: Database
- Mosquitto: MQTT Message Broker
- TeslaMate: Core Application
Fits the crowd
- Data-driven car owner：Enjoy analyzing various vehicle data
- Tech Enthusiast：Willing to tinker with smart home/IoT
- Fleet ManagerMonitoring multiple Tesla vehicles is required.
- EnvironmentalistsFocus on Energy Efficiency
Usage Scenarios
- View historical driving routes
- Analyze energy consumption changes across different seasons
- Comparing the charging efficiency of different charging stations
- Monitor battery health status
- Calculate vehicle operating costs
Project Advantages
- More detailed than the official appProvides in-depth data not available in the Tesla app
- Historical data is never lost.Unrestricted by Tesla servers
- Completely free and open-sourceNo hidden fees
- Community Support：There is an active user discussion group.
Installation and Use
Although the project is quite technical, the author has provided detailed installation instructions. The basic steps include:
- Set up a computer or server that stays on all the time (a Raspberry Pi will work too).
- Install the Docker environment
- Download and configure TeslaMate CN Image
- Log in to your Tesla account to authorize
caveat
- Requires a certain level of technical expertise
- Long-term operation requires a stable network environment.
- It consumes a small amount of power (which is almost negligible when using devices like the Raspberry Pi).
- The first synchronization may take a considerable amount of time (depending on the vehicle's usage history).
summarize
TeslaMate CN Image offers Tesla owners a powerful localized data monitoring solution. While the installation process may pose some challenges for non-technical users, once set up, it delivers far more detailed data and analytical capabilities than the official app. For owners who enjoy tinkering and care about their vehicle's data, this is definitely a tool worth trying!
