TeslaMate is a self-hosted data logger and analysis tool for Tesla vehicles. It is an open-source project that runs on a server and collects data from a Tesla vehicle via the Tesla API. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of TeslaMate on a Windows 10 machine.

Prerequisites

Before we start, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed:

Docker Desktop for Windows 10 (https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop)

Installation Steps

Open the Git command line interface (CLI) by pressing Win + R and typing git bash.
Clone TeslaMate's repository by running the following command in the Git CLI:
