OBD-II doesn't really get you much though(aside from maybe speed).
99% of the things that an OBD-II outputs(RPM, O2 sensor, timing, intake temp) just don't exist on a Tesla. Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs there's about 3-4 that actually make sense.
- ethanbond 11y agoAh, that's fair I suppose. It just seems like a blatant regulatory workaround to put in a port that literally provides power and ground. It would've been less weird but, you're right, not monumentally meaningful, if it had included the things it can include (like speed).
- imglorp 11y agoSounds like we need an ODB-e standard for electric vehicles that has more appropriate data and takes modern mobile LAN security into account. Maybe it would help open up the third party service market, against Tesla's intent obviously.
- vvanders 11y agoConsidering how hard it's been to build a standard DC-FC standard that seems like something that would be hard to do pull off without formal regulation(like OBD-II).
