Data loggers for the track and Model 3?

[Lunares]

Curious what kind of systems people use!

I know MPP sells their really fancy one

Have heard people recommend VBOX as a data collector and SoloStorm as the app for analysis.

What's out there?

Great post and timing, i've recently been thinking about buying one myself lol. From what i've seen, Aim Solo 2 is also quite popular: Aim Solo 2 | Aim Technologies

Also apparently a VBOX Touch is supposed to be out soon, but not much info is out there yet: VBOX Touch - VBOX | Vehicle Speed & Distance Measurement

You can also get a cool mount for the dash from ProClip USA, it has a relatively large flat surface that would enable drilling and mounting a few different things (i.e potentially an Aim Solo 2): 2019 Tesla Model 3 Dashboard Mounts | ProClip USA

I use a vbox sport attached to roof glass, just to see lap times when I back home.

You might consider: Scan My Tesla (OBDII) Install

It provides a wealth of detailed engineering data for 'tuning.' Not as much as I'd prefer but a lot of subtle details. Missing:

• tire temperature from TPMS system - tune suspension
• 6-axis accelerometer data - to evaluate track vs driver
• sensor distance data - to evaluate driver performance
• GPS metrics - absolute time and location to document track 'problem' areas

Does Scan My Tesla allow you to add PIDs or is it stuck with what the dev shows? TPMS is on the canbus (PID 31F).

My understanding is there are active efforts to decode what is available. Once decoded, these are sent to the developer who handles integration. But it looks like there are open, CAN bus options in 'Scan My Tesla' to help with the decode effort. I'm not part of that effort since the things I'm interested in are already there or the other metrics can be independently collected and integrated in the spreadsheet.

I'd recommend looking over the Owner's group threads and possibly contacting the members doing the heavy lifting.

I use Harry's Laptimer and TrackAddict, both at iPhone based, can record video from the phone and sync start/stop with an external cam like GoPro. I've MPP MoTec system as well, but I haven't had the time to get it correctly set up and learn how to use it.

Use Harry's laptimer with an external GPS like VBox Sport, it works great

The Tesla has to be in gear, "D" or "R", to see all of the "scan my tesla" data points specific to your version. So I recorded the "All" table to make this list for our SR+ Model 3:

A MacOS user, "AirDroid" is an excellent utility, $25/yr, that creates a Web server on the Android. You can quickly navigate to the folder holding your files and download them onto the Macintosh. It shows an IP address and port that becomes the URL to access the web server, for example http://192.168.0.12:8888. Once opened, it becomes trivial to get the files moved to the MacOS system.
