TeslaMate

Self-Hosted

Open-source Tesla vehicle monitoring and analytics platform

Overview

TeslaMate is an open-source self-hosted tool for tracking and analyzing Tesla vehicle data. It captures trips, energy consumption (driving/charging), state of charge, location history, and charging session details. Users retain full data control with local storage (no third-party reliance). Deployed via Docker (docker-compose setup), it integrates with Grafana for interactive visualizations and supports notifications (Telegram, email, webhooks) for events like charging completion or low battery. Lightweight and customizable, it’s ideal for Tesla owners prioritizing privacy and self-hosted insights.

Frequently Asked Questions

? Is TeslaMate hard to install?

No—TeslaMate uses Docker and docker-compose, simplifying setup. Most users can deploy it with a few commands following the official docs. It also works on platforms like Unraid or Synology NAS with Docker support, making it accessible for home self-hosting.

? Is it a good alternative to TeslaFi?

Yes—TeslaMate offers core features like trip tracking and energy analytics but is free and open-source. Unlike TeslaFi, it stores data locally for full privacy control. However, TeslaFi has a mobile app, while TeslaMate relies on web/Grafana interfaces.

? Is it completely free?

Yes—TeslaMate is open-source (MIT license) with no hidden costs or subscriptions. Users only cover hosting expenses (e.g., Raspberry Pi, small server) if they don’t run it locally.
