Tesla Roadster Data Logging Format Reverse Engineered 141
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."

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.

a python script that he himself admits to be simplistic and ugly.
Isn't that statement redundant? All python code is simplistic and ugly.

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.
