The OBDb has no parameters for the Tesla Model 3 yet. Pelican reads the standard OBD-II parameters from any car that supports OBD-II, such as speed and engine data.
To add this car, connect Pelican to it and share an OBD log as a beta tester.
Where is the Tesla Model 3's OBD-II port?
Under the dashboard in front of the driver, on either side of the steering column.
Some cars don't have an OBD-II port at all.
Tesla's own diagnostic port, which takes a Tesla cable rather than an OBD-II scanner, is in the driver's footwell.
