Just finished rolling this out to all iOS and Android devices. Hoping to support it on legacy Model S/X in the next few months. Needs some new tech that Tesla is working on.

Where is this located in the app?

TessieDev 2024-11-03 20:56

Shows up under Drives. Starts tracking after you install the latest telemetry update. Can tap the info circle then Manage Telemetry to install it on your car.

bustinjieb3r 2024-11-03 20:56

I'm still seeing 13.8.31 as the latest version.

Name of the App?

OsianDoro 2024-11-03 21:03

Nice, thanks. Don't see it yet but hopefully comes soon

Packerfan735 2024-11-03 21:04

Would love if you could add a note about the date this was added in (appears to be ~24 September, I think I installed the telemetry update as soon as I could), or calculate the lifetime usage based on that start date. I’m at 90% since 24 September, 3% lifetime :( Love the feature!

Was this in a release note I missed? I try to keep up to date with all the access needed by the app but I seem to have missed this one. Or maybe it's just super new and I'm spotting it quickly here. An opt in feature that would give a phone notification or some other way to notice when some access is missing in the app would be nice as long as particular access can be marked as ignored.

[deleted] 2024-11-03 22:15

Hmm, does that mean we could have a light in the back that says FSD is active?

So stoked for this update, awesome work! Big fan of Tessie. Have had it since day 1 of buying my Model 3. All the historical data is great to have available + there’s a great Home Assistant integration now for managing charging and pulling nav route / ETA info into my automations.

TheKobayashiMoron 2024-11-03 22:56

This would be fantastic

DevinOlsen 2024-11-03 22:57

So what’s the cost required to get this data? I would love to track FSD usage, but I don’t want to pay a lot for a subscription if at all possible.

Sjorsa 2024-11-03 23:02

How do you track whether autopilot is engaged?

blancmik 2024-11-03 23:05

This os awesome. Thank you!

notsooriginal 2024-11-03 23:30

Was about to call BS on this as I've already been using this on my cars in the Tessie app, then I saw who was posting it! Works a treat, a nice new level of metrics.

oz81dog 2024-11-03 23:48

Under Analytics it shows distance and then a percentage of time where autopilot was used. it would be cool if that had a little "i" button or something that said the date the metrics were accurate from or maybe a % of time autopilot was engaged since recording of that stat began. Mine shows like 2% fsd use and i bet it's probably about 80-90% of my drives, it would be cool to see what it really was! Thanks for all this work! Love it!

Equivalent_Owl_5644 2024-11-04 00:11

Created a way or was provided a way through the Tesla API? I don’t see any other option than using the Tesla API to get that data…

jeffoag 2024-11-04 00:18

Can you add some stats on interventions, like, how many interventions per 100 miles on FSD? Some heuristic might help: e.g., if FSD is disabled for a short time, like less than a minute, the FSD interrupt could be an intervention.

saabstory88 2024-11-04 01:04

What do you mean "new tech". Be more specific.

SlendyTheMan 2024-11-04 01:53

Is there a changelog for those updates

Old-Faithlessness462 2024-11-04 02:10

Could you have it update historical data as well? I'm really loving this new feature it's helping me showcase to all my friends that FSD does the majority of all my driving. It actually did 91% of my drive on a 900 km trip the other day. https://preview.redd.it/ib01tcwmmsyd1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b43215ed0ed368504231fa9eb84998c810c5eda

hmspain 2024-11-04 02:28

I'm so this! If Tesla is watching, think of it as free advertising! Almost a "Student Driver" sign.

Etrinjx-Void 2024-11-04 02:35

Lake Placid to Belle Glade? What ya doing out there mate? There ain't much of anything haha (Lehigh resident) though it is a really nice drive. Joking aside, this would be perfect for my legacy S so i can compare driving performance of FSD to when i actually drive myself. Thank you!

VideoGameJumanji 2024-11-04 03:33

And those signs just make people instantly impatient and drive more dangerously around you. Definitely not useful when people already don't understand fsd

rockethot 2024-11-04 03:58

One of my favorite Tessie features. https://preview.redd.it/1w69k8m06tyd1.png?width=1075&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b9af0130ad106906d7d4305d502b0690d6d75d4

HeyBeers 2024-11-04 05:46

I've been watching it for a week. About 80% of my commute each way is Autopilot.

NikeMUT 2024-11-04 06:58

Is there a way to track different drivers?

ignite1hp 2024-11-04 07:30

Curious, do you know if anyone has done testing on how much power fsd consumes? Example drive 100 mile stretch with FSD on and see how much battery it used, then do the same drive with it off at a set speed.

BikebutnotBeast 2024-11-04 14:04

If you've been using this, at one point it was $50/yr, $200 lifetime. However now the prices are higher. One thing to note, the app does far more than data tagging and tracking, it offers additional automation and API control. Check it out sometime.

BikebutnotBeast 2024-11-04 14:12

I love this feature. Any way to combine trips to show a map like this for the whole day, week, or month? All of the trips shown under map, don't show autopilot (fsd) percentage.

BikebutnotBeast 2024-11-04 14:14

As best as I understand it, the historical data did not have this additional telemetry info and did not log or backup that info anywhere so it's not available to add retroactively. That's why you have to add the telemetry info to your car to apply this added info.

Ray2K14 2024-11-04 14:56

Having FSD do 90% of your driving over 30 days is impressive

bernieo47 2024-11-04 15:01

I purchased a Tessie lifetime this past March, and couldn't be happier with product and developer's continued support and enhancements. The Automation and Alert features are excellent, plus the Drive History, Maps and Analytics are indispensable for me. The new FSD feature is very welcomed! I know the Tesla app will support Apple Watch soon (so they say :)), but Tessie's been doing it for a while, and I assume the developer will continue to add more features. It even tells us Charge Time remaining, which I think the Tesla app does not.

SabrToothSqrl 2024-11-04 15:24

1. love it. 2. the graphs should be a *single* column that's stacked. thanks!

BikebutnotBeast 2024-11-04 15:57

Great points, the alerts are really nice. Charge time remaining is shown at the top of the main Tesla app of your car next to the charge percentage.

edit_why_downvotes 2024-11-04 15:58

If you mean compute and not "it's more/less efficient than my driving style", then IIRC it's zero as the vision/computers/everything is still running for ADAS purposes.

bernieo47 2024-11-04 16:08

Yes in deed! But, when not near your car, it sure is nice to pull out your phone and view from the Tessie app.

andy2na 2024-11-04 16:32

so a sign that basically says "you can brake check or cut me off and suffer no consequences" because you know full well the people that roll coal will do this in a heartbeat

Quin1617 2024-11-04 16:35

Yep. Those signs aren’t doing you any justice.

Quin1617 2024-11-04 16:44

Most people have “boring” commutes, if I had a Tesla I’d be shocked if FSD couldn’t handle 90+% of it.

[deleted] 2024-11-04 16:50

Good thing roll coaling ain't a thing around here.

VideoGameJumanji 2024-11-04 19:17

The best marketing for FSD is for people to not even know a car is driving itself

Quin1617 2024-11-04 22:53

If I ever own a Tesla that’s exactly how I’ll convince relatives(literally none of them trust any form of ADAS) that AP/FSD is safe to use. Turn it on one day and ask “How was my driving?” once we get home.

RSCruiser 2024-11-05 00:12

It's data available via the Tesla Fleet API from the car, same as all the other data Tessie can track.

jwtrs68 2024-11-05 03:23

Can't be zero. Servos running for steering/ speed /brakes. Definitely seems it should use a little more juice per mile.

Poutine_Lover2001 2024-11-05 07:38

Your app literally got me out of a ticket ..,well kinda.. a dickhead cop in California claimed I was going 90. Tbh I was going low 80s but at least the ticket for reduced. Still pissed off about it Anyway tyvm I love you

Sjorsa 2024-11-05 08:42

Is there a list of all data you can track from the Tesla API? I use Teslamate and I don't think that tracks AP usage

rlopin 2024-11-05 16:33

Does it distinguish between autopilot and FSD usage or combine them both under the "autopilot" label when reporting stats?

rlopin 2024-11-05 16:35

This is awsome. Request to be able to filter this by driver profile name. Curious how much I use it vs my wife.

rlopin 2024-11-05 16:37

Request: Ability to see not just number of miles on Autopilot/FSD but number of hours/minutes.

Quick_Idea_4639 2024-11-07 00:09

Does this actually works? Would it work for my cybertruck?

TessieDev 2024-11-07 00:12

Yes.

M1A1SteakSauce 2024-11-07 02:41

Not sure if it has been updated, but it will say autopilot was used even if only TACC is on. Maybe add another option for TACC only and not throw it under the autopilot umbrella?

Dan_Purely 2024-11-07 10:42

This looks awesome. I'll admit I tried Tessie a while back but struggled to find it useful, this has convinced me to give it another go.

moch1 2024-11-08 03:08

You have more faith inFSD not running into a hard braking car than I do.

Mission_Assistance42 2024-11-09 01:55

Rounding error

joshkitty 2024-11-09 04:59

Can Tessie help track work miles for tax purposes?

TessieDev 2024-11-09 06:45

Yeah, it's why I made the app.

An_Epic_Tryhard 2024-11-15 08:41

So this is already gone huh? I was very excited when I noticed this in the app yesterday.

Senior-Nectarine3477 2024-11-19 13:25

Why did you all get rid of these feature?

[deleted] 2024-12-02 10:19

![gif](giphy|obPaL0bTCeBYqlWBpM) This was AWESOME while it lasted.

ohjeezhi 2024-12-13 00:59

How do I see what it has been for the year? Any way to get this in hours? Looks like I only see Auto Pilot and not FSD?

TessieDev 2024-12-13 01:22

Unfortunately Tesla has disabled this for all vehicles. When it worked, it was for both Autopilot/FSD and you can see the year stats under Drives > Analytics > This Year at the top.
