What is stored in your cars table, removing the VIN?

What shows on the TeslaMate home page?

Are you referring to the trim badge displayed in the TeslaMate UI?

Are you referring to the trim badge displayed in the TeslaMate UI?

Yes. As well as what is in the database.

Understood. Since the trim badge data is sourced from the Tesla API, it's possible that Tesla labels this model in that particular way. We can investigate further to see if there's a discrepancy between Tesla's API data and the actual model specifics.

This is my "cars" table, including the VIN. Sorry for the bad formatting.

id | eid | vid | model | efficiency | inserted_at | updated_at | vin | name | trim_badging | set
tings_id | exterior_color | spoiler_type | wheel_type | display_priority | marketing_name

3 & 50 & SR+

Those attributes are the reason TeslaMate is displaying Model 3 SR+. You can see that in the marketing_name.

Current code looks at the model and marketing_name. Anyone with a non-Model 3 Highland share their cars table? My guess is it will be the same (looking at TeslaMate code), thus not able to differentiate between a Highland and non-Highland.

I see. I didn't know if that was directly read from my car or somehow decoded from VIN. Well, thanks for taking a look, maybe I have a SR+ after all!

It is pulled directly from the API. If you are comfortable making API calls, you could pull your vehicle_data from the API and confirm what comes from Tesla.

Definitely beyond my skills. Already took a while to learn enough to understand what a "cars" table is, and how to retrieve it:)

Here i have the 'cars' table with a model 3 highland and a model y.

id	eid	vid	model	efficiency	inserted_at	updated_at	vin	name	trim_badging	settings_id	exterior_color	spoiler_type	wheel_type	display_priority	marketing_name

This adds more confusion in that yours is referenced as a LR AWD Model 3 Highland. Based upon this, there is not yet a way to designate a Highland Model 3 from the API.

Still interested if either of you could pull your vehicle_data to see what the API returns.
