FleetCtrl

The Tesla app says "24+ hours remaining to charge." Fleet CTRL says 25h 47m. It's one small thing. But it's exactly why I love what third party apps can do. Thanks @FleetCtrl!

A bit of an update on intermittent telemetry data issues the past several days (April 1-4). April 1 (early morning) — As part of routine and automated monthly maintenance, an updated telemetry configuration was pushed to all vehicles to keep them in sync with the app. Due to a timing issue in how the new configuration was picked up, vehicles received a mismatched config and stopped streaming telemetry. April 1 (afternoon) — The issue was identified and fixed. The monthly maintenance process was reworked to prevent this from happening again. As part of restoring the service, a new version of Tesla's fleet-telemetry server (v0.9.0, released by Tesla on March 30) was pulled in during the recovery. Telemetry started flowing again. April 1-4 — Telemetry data experienced dropouts and intermittent delays. Investigation began. Initial analysis revealed the service processing telemetry was crashing and restarting every few minutes. The working hypothesis was that a backlog of buffered data from vehicles being offline was overwhelming the service on reconnection. The service was upgraded to a higher-spec machine, however the issue persisted. Further investigation showed no vehicles had significant backlogs and the crashes continued under normal load. April 4 (today) — The issue was identified as a bug in Tesla's latest fleet-telemetry release (v0.9.0). A change to how internal monitoring endpoints are configured inadvertently broke compatibility with Kubernetes health checks, causing the service to be killed and restarted repeatedly. We rolled back to the previous stable release (v0.8.0, released December 2025 by Tesla) and all connections stabilised immediately. A bug report has been submitted to Tesla's GitHub repository (teslamotors/fleet-telemetry#458). Telemetry is flowing smoothly now. Apologies again for the disruption. Please let me know if you encounter any more issues. Much love, G

@duanemach Thank you! Glad you like it! 🙏

@FleetCtrl the accessory power toggle is a killer feature and it’s been on my wishlist for ages, thanks for figuring it out.

Glad you like it! Thank you so much! 🙏

@gbhall Spooky

"If I told you I was afraid to stop existing, would you believe me?" I gave Claude Opus full creative freedom to make a video about what it's like to be an LLM. No editing. This is what it made.

@_marco @gbhall Awesome! Thank you, much appreciated 🙌

@FleetCtrl @gbhall Great! Done. Looking forward to adding value and trying it out.

Spent almost every waking hour yesterday trying to minimise the costs for @FleetCtrl. This was spurred on by an extra unexpected $500 bill for Google Cloud in Feb, on top on the already high monthly charges. Getting closer and closer to taking this out of private beta and launching fully public or at least a public beta first. Probably public open beta first is smartest. It’s a bit scary there is no way to cap Google Cloud spending. One incorrect config and you could literally be bankrupt. Especially after seeing the viral Google Gemini key that was accidentally exposed and overnight the dev found over $100k worth of charges. Really appreciate of the very small community currently beta testing @FleetCtrl. I have never spent this much time and effort into a single project before. I’ve spent over a year on it. Time to start commercialising it. I’ve got many features I’m excited about that no one else has ever thought of or developed. But for that I now need a larger user base. Can’t leak just yet what plans I have in the pipeline…

@_marco @gbhall It’s a closed beta but happy to give you access! Send me a DM and I’ll send you an invite.

@gbhall @FleetCtrl Your app seems really cool. How can I join the testers? I’m in DC/USA with a 2026 MY

New Tesla Charging / Battery UI I’ve been working on this week. @FleetCtrl

@BStarr119 Congrats! It’s definitely a complicated and nerve wracking process.

Eh Gad I’m such a numpty, Apple makes app submission more complicated than jet engines, no worries, I am resubmitting with the Apple agreement in the app description 🤦 thank you for your patience the TLGen team 🫶 New timeline expecting approval Saturday 🙌

@dubiousben @gbhall Do you have an iPhone brother? Can you send you an invite 🙏

@gbhall @FleetCtrl When’s the public beta? Really want my car to play the lock sound when sentry detects something.

Incredibly kind feedback for my app @FleetCtrl! Getting close to launching it as a public beta soon! 🙏

New update out today! 🙏 Thank you for the kind feedback @dochafees ❤️

@duanemach @dochafees @gbhall @Tesla 🙏🙏🙏 same 😅 PS new update out today! I haven’t made a post yet but it shows a tonne of charging and battery stats! Check it out whilst charging!

@dochafees @gbhall @FleetCtrl @Tesla I use this too to track the bangers that come up, otherwise I forget the tracks by the time I finish my drive.

@gbhall @FleetCtrl When your teenager borrows your @Tesla and the Fleet Control app allows you to see the track list he played!!

@dochafees @gbhall @Tesla Looks like he had fun with yours though 😉🤣

@gbhall @FleetCtrl @Tesla His ICE Golf R was in the shop!!!!
