ABRP Live data with Model Y

Recommended Posts

I am currently using an OBD adapter (OBDlink CX) to use ABRP live data with my Volkswagen e-Up. Works great. SOC and other information is now known to ABRP and can be used for route planning. Thanks for that.

I have ordered an Tesla Model Y and would also like to use ABRP Live data with it. On https://abetterrouteplanner.com/compare/livedata/ it says that ABRP can user the Tesla "Car API". What ist that? How is this done? Any instructions on that? I have not found anything on that.


Do I have to give my Tesla account and password to any third party like ABRP or other company? A the Tesla account and password may be used to open and drive my Tesla, I would not give it to anyone else.

Is there nobody using ABRP with a Model Y and Live data?

As I would expect the ABRP people to watch here, it looks for me that this feature might not even exist.....

Hi @gohz,

We've got many Tesla owners using this feature but the activity on this forum isn't super high and posts outside the main categories might not get much attention. 

Here's how you can link a Tesla Model Y using the ABRP Android or iOS app:

1. Go into: Settings (Advanced) > Car model
2. Click the option ‘Add my car’
3. Specify the vehicle model
4. Select the linking option ‘Link MyTesla’ in the list
5. Follow the setup instructions

The login process part of the linking process is used to generate a token which we store encrypted. You may also provide us a token generated elsewhere for the connection. We do not store your Tesla credentials, in fact we never get to see any of them as the login process occurs on Tesla's website. It is true that the token does give permissions to unlock the car, but we can not make the car drive with it.

Should you have any more questions you think perhaps only our team can answer I recommend checking out the 'Support & feedback' section at the bottom of the settings menu. From there you can send an email to support or submit bug reports, vehicle request and feature requests over at abrp.upvoty.com
