Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

[amund7]

Do you have enough beta testers for the iOS app testing the connection to CANServer?

Honestly Josh has asked me to wait to announce anything, becuase he's out of parts. But I am leaking... sorry Josh The can server support is not yet in beta.

I think the sequence will be:
1. Fix some details in the current betas to test a RC1 for IOS (missing: storing layouts/colums/size for each signal lists, fix welcome page layout, a few other minor bugs), to be able to release a new IOS production version
2. Either can server beta OR Teslalogger beta, depending on what is ready for beta first
3. release that to IOS production
4. repeat

We have hundreds of beta testers, just follow the beta if you like, you will get the latest and greatest (and will help discover the latest and worst so we can fix that)

The fun thing now is that the Android beta and the IOS beta are in sync. So follow your favourite platform, and know that by testing you are helping us get new features to production. Thank you for beta testing!

Well it doesn't hurt to sneak it into the beta for folks like Randy that already have one.
Or me for that matter

I bought a cheep ELM but it never worked.

Can you recommend a brand?

I bought this one about a year ago:

It’s no longer available, but I think this is the same one (perhaps newer version):

Occasionally, I noticed my RR is improving, usually after a drive the previous day.

Some correlation between higher RR, higher pack temp and lower cell imbalance is observed.

Usually, SMT RR tracks the RR shown in the Tesla app within a few miles.

Today, I saw the same nominal capacity as yesterday, 77.2KwH, but an increase in RR from 266 to 277 (I wish that were true!)

But the app shows 264 RM.

Not sure why the CAN bus data is different from what the car and app show.

Thoughts?

Check the All tab, I am a bit rusty on the Model S signals but I think there are more range signals available than the ones shown under Battery. And I remember there were some disputes about which signals are shown in US cars and EU cars, or maybe just the naming of them, and I don't think I ever got to the bottom of it. Let me know what you find.

My value for RM came from the "All" tab.

Just checked again, and it is 266, not 277 miles. New EPA is 270 miles.

BMS gremlins I guess. I should ignore RM anyway and just check nominal full capacity, which seems to be pretty steady.

Where do you see 277? In the app, or in the car screens?
