are reliable acks enabled by default?

[jbanyer]

I'm experiencing lost signals (see #319), and am trying the reliable acks as a possible mitigation.

However I seem to get the following log messages regardless of whether reliable_ack_sources is set in server_config.json or not.

tesla-fleet-telemetry    | {"context":"fleet-telemetry","level":"debug","msg":"message_respond","record_type":"V","response_type":"ack","time":"2025-01-22T00:46:41Z","txid":"78ae54a58800468194dc95-000000397"}

Are reliable acks enabled by default?

If reliable acks are not enabled for any data providers, the reliable ack is sent immediately.

Unfortunately - and we have a documentation gap here - the vehicle does not change behavior (i.e. resend a message) based on reliable acks. Creating a ticket internally to properly handle acks.

Is there a use case today for enabling reliable ack if it doesn't change the car behavior?

No reason to enable, though I'd recommend it as there's no harm. Future proofing your setup for when the vehicle properly handles reliable acks.
