Tesla Model S Cable + OBDLink MX+ Kit Bundle
The Tesla Model S FL / Model X diagnostic cable is an adapter that is required to connect the OBDLink MX+ dongle to your Tesla. The Tesla diagnostic cable in combination with the OBD2 dongle allows you to read data from your Model S facelift and Model x up to and from model year 2016 and younger via an app, such as Scan My Tesla or TM-Spy. The Model S / X with the 20 pin diagnostic plug was delivered within Europe from year 2016. The Model S facelift model can be recognized by the LED headlights (formerly xenon) and the different, much denser front bumper and grill. The regulations for diagnostic plugs in electric vehicles are different from those in vehicles that run on diesel or petrol, for example. In the case of EVs, the manufacturer can decide for themselves what kind of diagnostic port they use in their car. If you want to view data from your Tesla, such as battery information, you need the right accessories; a special diagnostic cable, an OBDLink OBD2 dongle and a ScanMyTesla or TM-Spy app.
