Slightly over 5000 km driven with our new Tesla in the three months since we got it. The app estimates 625 BGN (320 EUR) in savings compared to an ICE vehicle. Actual savings are even higher, as 16% of the charged power is free PV produced at home.
Our heat pump spent 103 minutes defrosting today, with two more hours to go. Not ideal, but such days are rare. It's foggy outside, with temperatures around freezing.
Impressive Frigate performance optimization using Gemini. My Raspberry Pi 5 + Coral TPU setup handling 8 cameras has seen a 38% drop in CPU usage, despite increasing the detection frame rate from 4 to 5. Gemini made several smart suggestions, including generating a shell script to ffprobe camera streams and determine their characteristics, splitting and…
I've been running TeslaMate for about a month and am quite impressed by the detailed metrics it collects, especially the precise indoor and underground garage position tracking. I assume it's based on vehicle speed and wheel direction.
She’s efficiency queen, 2*C outside now, driving around Sofia, TM3 LR AWD
Just completed ESP32-based local BLE controls for my Tesla in Home Assistant using https://github.com/PedroKTFC/esphome-tesla-ble Experimenting with primitive GUI for the ESP32 Tesla remote
Too cold outside, Tesla won’t start. Any tips?
Our Mitsubishi Ecodan heat pump’s COP vs outside temperature:
7.4MWh solar power production at home in 2025, not bad
Our Tesla’s charging port logo’s green LED in the RGB died, so the logo is now purplish instead of white when idle and reddish instead of green when charging. Scheduled a free service replacement, but overall not cool.
Preparing for HomeLink: retrofitting actuators on the two doors we have and ordering the Tesla HomeLink module. The HomeLink module arrived today.Installation was easy. Very happy with it!
Created an n8n workflow that checks our electricity provider's site for planned downtime and notifies us ahead of time.
Can't get enough of that "free" EV charging 😉
New car—why not take it apart? 🙂 Installing Enhance’s commander and stalks.
This is confusing. What’s wrong, @Apple?
