Using TM-Spy for iOS

Now that I've been updated to 2020.20.17, some of the TM-Spy data is way out of whack. 123% SOC, 89.2 kWh remaining on an 85 pack, 1000A battery draw at idle.
I know Tesla has been adding bits to some numbers and it is throwing things off.

Can someone point me to the instructions on being on the whitelist for TestFlight? It would e great to get more info from the car. I wish this would have been a built in screen app with some cool visualization... come on Tesla!

Any updates on OBDLink MX+ support?
Yes, next test release will include basic MX+ support. Basic means it will connect and use the ELM command set not the more advanced one the MX+ includes. That will come in a following release.

It will also include support for the NEXAS NexLink OBDII adapter

I saw some weird reading when plotting during my last supercharging session. Unfortunately I only ran it for a couple minutes and had to run before taking notes. I'll try it again to see if it works better. What seemed to be happening is intermittent errant values for the voltage and current that swamped out the actual numbers so all I saw is a flat line with some single pixel wide up (or down) lines. I didn't have time to debug. Anyone else seeing something like this? I usually only use tmspy while I am sitting bored at a supercharger or waiting for someone while sitting in the car alone. I use the previously recommended carista device

I believe Tesla is doing this so that it is more difficult to get the stats from the battery on purpose. This is in retaliation to people collecting this data to use on the Batterygate issues.

I have some questions about the data being displayed in the All variables category.

1. On the series/Parallel variable, im currently showing 100% which mode does that indicate it is in?
2. On the radiator bypass variable, it also appears to be in a state of either 0-100%. Would I be correct in assuming if the TMS is in serial and the and the radiator bypass is in 100% then the powertrain heat is warming the battery, and if it is in parallel and radiator bypass is in 0% then the powertrain is utilizing the radiator the battery is not.
3. I noticed that when charging the car using AC the powertrain inlet temp is higher than the batter, series/parallel is 100% and radiator bypass is 0% so I am assuming the battery is circulating coolant inside itself with the pumps but nowhere else, and the powertrain coolant is being cooled by the radiator due to the heat generated by the AC chargers.

Is there a current list of target temps the battery wants to achieve before the engaging passive cooling/heating and active cooling/heating? or is this something that is fluid, based on other conditions?
Is there a current list of component temp limits for the drive unit, dc-dc converter etc?

The temperature for high speed charging is 40 degrees in the summer. And will be cooled nearly too 30 degrees nominal.

my stator reached 90 degrees in the summer with a average temperature off 30 degrees.
