Moving from TeslaFi

How to export from TeslaFi

In TeslaFi, open Settings, then Advanced, then Download TeslaFi Data, and download every month since you started; TeslaFi gives one file per month. DashM8 rebuilds each drive and charge from TeslaFi's own drive and charge numbers.

For energy used, addresses, cost and tags too, also download the Drives file: Drives, then Drive Search And Download, choose the whole range and Download Data. Then choose all the files on DashM8's import page, with the time zone of your TeslaFi home address.

Your files stay on your computer

DashM8 reads the export in your browser and sends one line per drive and per charge: when it started and ended, the distance, the energy, the battery levels and, if you choose, where it started and ended. The files themselves stay on your computer.

Where your history starts in DashM8

As far back as your export goes. Imported drives and charges sit beside what DashM8 records from the day you connect, marked as imported wherever they appear, and where DashM8 recorded the same drive itself, its own record is the one shown. Keep your export, and keep it private: it includes where you have been.

What DashM8 adds

What changes the day you connect:

• Tesla's own Fleet Telemetry stream: the car sends its values as they change, and DashM8 never wakes it to read them.
• Charging cost per place and time, against your own tariff, with the loss between the charger and the battery.
• Battery health beside the state of health Tesla reports for your car.
• A native iPhone app as well as the web, and one car free for good, with no card.
