New install, four errors (db error, 504 gateway, Grafana-trackmap, range)

Hello,

Setup the API scrapper on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ last night and enjoy the data from my first drive. However, I have some issues:

1. It seems that it stopped talking to my car today with the following errors:

2019-08-28 13:57:08 INFO     >> self.connection.refresh_vehicle()
INFO:apiscraper:>> self.connection.refresh_vehicle()

influxdb.exceptions.InfluxDBClientError: 400: {"error":"unable to parse 'drive_state,display_name=[Tesla Car],vin=[VIN]  [string of numbers]': invalid field format"}

If you need the string of numbers, let me know.

2. Also, scrolling through the errors, I am seeing that there are a lot of the following:
   2019-08-28 15:33:03 INFO HTTP Error: HTTP Error 504: Gateway Timeout

Is that my issue, Tesla's API, my installation, something else?

3. How can I get the grafana-trackmap-panel installed? When I went through the instructions, NPM was throwing errors and it said that it was likely what the version the developer had and not NPM. Right now when I try to load the Geolocation panel it says "Panel plugin not found: pr0ps-trackmap-panel". Have tried to run sudo grafana-cli plugins install pr0ps-trackmap-panel and sudo grafana-cli plugins remove pr0ps-trackmap-panel to no avail. More details posted below:

4. When looking at the TeslaMetric v2 and Charging dashboards, the "Current [ideal] Range" shows at 999.00mi". Any way to get this to reflect the true range?

I did a "manual" install. Not in docker, currently running as an open process in a terminal window.

Assistance is greatly appreciate!

Regarding 3)
I was struggling with the same. Apparently, it is not enough to install npm using apt-get. You need to ensure that the latest version is used:
$ sudo npm install -g npm@latest

Also, once you have checked out the plugin, you need to update all the dependency packages in /var/lib/grafana/plugins/grafana-trackmap-panel/package.json

$ sudo npm i npm-update-all -g
$ sudo npm-update-all
$ sudo npm update caniuse-lite browserslist

I have created a PR for the README.md on the matter and more: #82
