Electrafi (Teslafi) now available for Rivian

[JGard18]

Security and access and then drivers and then invite a driver

Thank you! I even reached out to my guide and they didn’t know where this was

Thing is will this constantly wake it up and prevent it from sleeping?

In TeslaFI, they have various sleep options to let you stop "polling" and letting it sleep.

For your own poking at the Rivian api without handing credentials to a third party you can try these:

https://github.com/the-mace/rivian-python-api

https://github.com/the-mace/rivian-ruby-api

Both have simple command line interfaces.

Disclosure: I made them but they’re open source.

I also contribute to the unofficial api docs:

Will it send me a nag if I park at home but forget to plug in?

I honestly need something that does this. Never really been an issue because of the range, but there have been days that I forget to charge it and then have to come home and charge during "expensive time"

Using the CLIs above you can get a daily nag (if you're able to install and add to to cron).

I am a huge fan of teslafi. But this still needs a lot of work. Many of the "stats" it displays are just flat out inaccurate.

While it is possible I exceed the speed limit at some point, I am skeptical that I ever hit 500mph.

Besides the Max Speed, what other stats do you see as flat out inaccurate?

Here is another example.

It says that I used 11.08 kwh while parked. It also says that I used 3% while parked. At least one of those has to be inaccurate. Unless I have 11/.03 = 367 kwh battery.

Ohh and then somehow the 0.62 kwh that I used while sleeping accounts for -0.52% of the battery.

Did you do a charge to at least 90% after setting up your electrafi account? This is needed to baseline the battery calculations.

The 10.82 and 0.26 combine to give you the 11.08.

I've had occasion issues with TeslaFi and have contacted them and they've been able to track them down and correct my scenario (assuming others hit it too but hadn't noticed yet).

Yes, since signing up have charged to 90% or more several times since creating the account. And charged to 100% twice since creating the account.

But I haven't ever added 90% or more in one sitting if that is what they mean ( for example 5%-95%) that will probably never happen as I am very unlikely to ever get that low and even less likely to do it when changing past 90% is feasible.

Also, in that same screenshot it says that 60.93kw = 49.03% for energy used driving. That seems slightly off, but is reasonably close.

If it was just a % to kwh miscalibration it seems like both the driving and the parked stats would be off by the same amount. But the driving stat is close and the parked stats is obviously way off.

Yes - hopefully some of these bugs will be fixed. Like I said, it needs work.

It looks like the max speed error is due to it trying to calculate speed by comparing odometer readings from one data point to the next. That could work, but for the time part of the calculation it is using the time teslafi received the data instead of the time the car reported it. The report time is included in the API data - so it should be fixable.

Or they could just use the actual speed reported by the car instead of trying to calculate it at all. Personally that seems like the much easier route.

I am still a big fan. It is early, bugs are expected and understandable. But it is very fair to say that at this point it is buggy, inaccurate, and needs a lot of work.

I also noticed the charging stats were off. It said I put in only 24kwh when I charged from 40-70%. Should have been around 37 kwh

It's early days. I'm sure they will work on it.

Do you guys have the TesalFI and Tesla data feed areas? Lot of details in there and you can edit the columns shown. Very handy for creating your own graphs to test something out.
