Thanks for the great video, Matt. I have one comment regarding removing CAN connector cover from my 2022 RWD. Perhaps because the car is new, but it was VERY hard to get off. When I (eventually) succeeded using plastic spudgers, I wiped some silicone lubricant on the metal of the clips. I found some blue colour came off on the cloth, which looked (to me) like some form of loctite. I'm hoping that it will be easier to remove the cover in future if I need to.
Yes. It can be difficult to get off on some cars. Mine has always been fairly easy to do without tools. I leave the OBD plug exposed as it will glitch and need to be unplugged to reset.
Thanks Matt. I'm curious to know what the voltage range on the LFP battery cells are at fully charged and fully discharged. My guesses are 3.45V and 3.0V. What have you seen?
Hi Dave. LFP rule of thumb is 2.5V - 3.65V. I haven’t run my car down to cut out but below 2.5V will damage the cells. I think Tesla cuts their cars out around 2.7v. Fully charged it sits around 3.55v-3.6v.
@@notinthemanual thanks for the info! I was curious because those voltages have a major influence on the battery life and you get stuff all extra Wh stored outside those voltages.
@@davehayes8812 Teslas battery management system is one of the best. There is really very little that the user can do to damage the LFP battery in a Tesla. You would really have to go out of your way to over discharge.
Do you need to activate phone service on the Android for it to function properly or can you just connect it to hot spots or WIFI to get the app and then blue tooth to work with the scanner?
The OBDLINK MX+ tool was from Amazon. You can shop around and try to get it cheaper. $140. www.amazon.com/dp/B07JFRFJG6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FCKZNV3EA9VQ3ZFJ0FH9 The adapter harness was from GPS America. www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gpstrackingamerica.com%2Ftesla-adapters%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AOvVaw3GDwGB_htBAfCDXDaq6V9M Check the scanmyTesla website for links as I think there are more places selling them now. I wouldn’t just go to eBay for this item. I paid US$30 plus shipping.
Thank you this was very useful for me and my family. Please keep it up, your videos are great!!!
Thanks I appreciate the feedback.
Thanks for showing all this. Quite in depth!
Hi k v. Yeah. I just don’t know how to make short videos yet 😂. I don’t like leaving anything out.
Great video, thanks!

Just Bluetooth is fine once you have the app on your phone like you said. The cheap android phone I use doesn’t have a SIM.
Hi, where did you buy the hardware? How much $ please? Thanks
