Tesla Roadster Data Logging Format Reverse Engineered
s1axter writes with word that "the data log format for the Tesla Roadster has been reverse engineered and documented, now available in Python. (Python script linked in the post.)" From the linked blog entry: "Not only was I given a $110k car unrestricted I was requested to see what ECU information is available, collect and parse the data from it. Tesla Motors periodically collects information from their vehicles presumably to see what real-world driving the cars see. On original Roadster models there is no method to collect this information remotely thus someone must go out to the vehicle and collect it. The owner of the vehicle saw this and wanted to know what information was collected on these service calls ... Because I am a big fan of freedom to modify a program to fit ones needs, I have uploaded the ... python script to parse Tesla logs."
It's all an evil scheme to find out how many Starbuck's Lattes' I get in a week.
I was listening to a report on the New porche.
I found the report on the New gazeboe much more entertaining.

Could have saved time by just ignoring the suit. Shame society doesn't for the frivolous ones.

I'm surprised took so long, given the immense popularity of that car.

I took my Mustang out there about ten years ago. It was fun but I never really got the salt out of all of the places it found a way into.
Protip: Don't drive there in early morning except in high summer - the salt is wet and sticks like nothing you've ever seen before.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
a python script that he himself admits to be simplistic and ugly.
Isn't that statement redundant? All python code is simplistic and ugly.

"The Tesla has a gas engine "
For fuck's sake...
I will point out that citing HP numbers is the absolute worst way to compare any two different engines. Horsepower, in of itself, is an almost useless metric for comparison of anything.
Horsepower numbers are a great concept used by magazines and manufacturers for people who generally don't know anything about engines or vehicles. Car and Driver is a great example. Its for people who know nothing about vehicles but want to pretend they do. If you know a religious Car and Driver reader, with few exceptions, you've identified a seriously pretentious, and almost completely ignorant, douche bag.
...and no, I don't care about what an encyclopedia written by the unwashed masses has to say on the topic. My Thermodynamics books say otherwise.
One of our competitors trademarked the term "hypothesis". From now on, we will call them "boneheaded ideas".
