Tesla Performance Tools was built with track usage foremost in mind. In any BEV one of the most important aspects to power is the battery. Voltage drop and cell imbalance under load are the two biggest concerns. Followed closely by loss of capacity. Our goal is to bring you a whole new insight into your track performance. Stage 1 starts with replicating the P100D's ludicrous plus launch mode widget. Available as an in app purchase, Stage 2 adds a plethora of additional gauges. Stage 3 adds the ability to log and then playback a session.
Stage 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are already in the works and we can't wait to hear from you.
Model 3 support coming very soon…
Requirements
iPhone running at least iOS 12.4
OBDLink MX+ - Important: this is currently the only supported OBD module

How To Use
How To Use
How To Use
Step One:
Locate the diagnostic port on your vehicle. For the Model S and X this is located behind the cubby directly below the main display. Simply pull down on the front of the cubby to detach the cubby and then slide it forward. Locate the diagnostic port and install the adapter cable. Install the OBDLink MX+.
Step Two:
Download and install Tesla Power Tools from the iOS App Store.
Step Three: - Optional
If you plan to make use of the Acceleration parameters, the phone must be firmly mounted to the vehicle. TPT uses the phone’s accelerometer for acceleration values. The phone must be firmly mounted with the sides of the device facing directly to the sides of the vehicle. Tilting the device forward or back is fine. Just do not angle the screen to the side.
FAQ
FAQ
FAQ
Q: The app was connected and working fine. I hit Stop and now I can’t get it to reconnect. The OBDLink shows as connected in the iOS Settings app, but it does not show up in the app.
A: This is an issue we are working through. It seems that when you disconnect from a standard bluetooth device in iOS, the system takes some time to show as disconnected. For now the simplest thing to do is Disconnect and reconnect from within the iOS Settings app.
Q: Why are there gaps in the data logs or display?
A: The root cause of this is unfortunately outside of our control. The issue seems to be due to RF or EM interference between the iOS device and OBD module. If the connection gap is large enough, the OBD module will fill its buffer and throw an error. Sometimes we get that buffered data, sometimes we don’t. This has more to do with if the signal comes back or not. In either case, we do our best to reconnect and continue streaming values. In practice we’ve seen it happening over and over in the same situation or stream for hours on end without issue. We have yet to nail down a concrete reproducible scenario to successfully debug the issue. If we come up with more information, we’ll post it back here.
Q: Does the app support the Model 3 or Model Y?
A: Not yet, but that is expected to be part of version 1.1.
Q: Will iPad be supported?
A: Development actually began on the iPad. For obvious reasons, we focused our efforts on getting iPhone working first. iPad is a big part of what we have planned for future stages.
Q: Why in app purchases?
A: We felt rather than charging more for a full list of features that only some users would use, it’s better to offer to a wider audience. And then let the user decide what they want or need for their application.
Q: Do you plan to add individual cell details?
A: Yes. At this time, that’s as much as we’d like to say.

Special thanks
I’d like to take this space to callout and personally thank all the tinkerers that put in the hard work, effort and know how in order to decode the Tesla CAN Bus messages. From my own past work I know this is no simple process. And strongly believe in giving credit where it’s due. I know this application would not be where it is today without the efforts of those listed below. If you have the chance to thank them as well, please do so.
