    I use an app called Tessie. It’s $5 a month for the rest of my life but i do like it . Keeps track of battery usage, trips, and links to Alexa.

      Why Alexa?

      Other than that, a $1 notepad and a pencil will do usage tracking just fine for years. You can’t take a trip unless you’re already sitting in the car where you can see and write down the info.

      Gotcha - I guess I’m still not following though. Twitter and Reddit upped API fees because the data could be used to train LLMs.

      Obviously if you had access to everyone’s driving/Tesla data - that’d be valuable - but I am assuming the API data is only for the owners using these the apps like you mentioned.

      Is the data available across all users or are they prepping to release some kind of anonymized user data?

        I can’t eee how blocking API use helps train LLMs.

        Even if the users has a 3rd party app, it’s still making the API calls, so whatever data is already on the server side.
