Tesla app with Alopex DB & Alopex Skulk
The Tesla app is a vehicle companion app for checking and controlling a Tesla's charging and climate remotely. What if we rebuilt it with Alopex DB and Alopex Skulk?

What the service does
The Tesla app lets owners check charging from anywhere, heat or cool the cabin, and see where the car is. Scheduled charging is set from the app too. The data is charging and driving time series, cabin temperature, location and charging records.
Where the data lives
- Skulk time series: battery level, charging power, cabin temperature and speed are appended to Skulk, tagged by vehicle. Trends over time come from time-bucketed aggregation.
- Alopex DB tables: vehicles, users, charging records and charging schedules live in tables.
Reading the car’s sensors and writing the values is the car’s software.
Deployment
Skulk is embedded in the car’s software and keeps recording when the connection drops. In the cloud, an Alopex DB cluster receives the records from many cars and returns charging records and trends to the app.
Why Alopex DB and Alopex Skulk fit
Vehicle data is born in the car and gathered in the cloud. Skulk holds the time series in the car, Alopex DB holds vehicles and charging records, and an Alopex DB cluster takes over as the fleet grows.
For data from things that move, we recommend Alopex Skulk embedded in the device with Alopex DB receiving the records in the cloud.
