A way to get the battery temperature?

People here seem to be partial to scan my tesla for that kind of thing:
scan my tesla
'scan my tesla' is an Android app that will connect to a Tesla Model S, 3, X and Y CAN bus, and show and log hundreds of readings. Please note you need a special wiring harness to connect, more details under Adapters. This app gives you numerous live statistics such as: - Battery power / voltage

this isnt an endorsement or anything, just telling you what I read people use here that want to get at that type of information (and more).
Thanks! I'll give it a look. I already have an old OBD2 Bluetooth adapter, so if it's compatible, I'll only be missing the wire adapter.
This is my OBD2 Adapter, anybody know if such low end OBD2 adapter works? I had no problem reading from my ICE cars using Android Torque app.
PS. Can't give a link since it's no longer available, hence the screenshot.

Low-end ELM327 adapters typically work but they are an order of magnitude slower than a OBDLink LX (like I have) or OBDLink MX or equivalent which support the STN1110 protocol. Depending on how many fields you are trying to display on SMT, you might find they take a few seconds to refresh.
I personally started with my cheap 15$ adapter and ended up buying the OBDLink LX.

The wiring harness has been mentioned but will be needed to break out the OBD2 connector and the CAN Bus. It mounts on the back of the center console. If you have an iPhone it only works with a OBDLink LX.

I think the confusion is that it’s only visible in Service Mode, not in the regular Service menu.
To enter Service Mode, you go to the Software menu, press and hold the word "Model" for 3 seconds, then type in "service" as the access code and hit ok. Here’s one vid showing the process.
Once you’re in Service Mode, battery temps are viewable in 2 places:
Here’s the TMC thread where I got the above images.
The main weakness of this is that you have to be in Park to enter Service Mode, so you can’t see battery temps while driving this way.

Ha, I didn't realize that was what that was, because the range was so wide. I just assumed it'd be one temp. I still can't find the octovalve screen in my service display.I think the confusion is that it’s only visible in Service Mode, not in the regular Service menu.
