Almost a year ago, on June 20, 2014, I contributed to my first, and only, so far, Indiegogo project. The project is the MyEV Electric Vehicle Logger and App<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We received the product in mid April and I got around to installing it a few days later. The instructions from MyEV<\/a> are pretty straightforward, but it is somewhat disjointing having to remove the center console to access the Tesla proprietary cable to connect the logger to.<\/p>\n

What do you get in the package?<\/p>\n

1) proprietary Tesla to OBD 2 cable<\/p>\n

2) Model S only OBD logger<\/p>\n

3) the myEV window sticker (with QR code)<\/p>\n

A couple of pictures of the logger..<\/p>\n

Note that this is only for a Tesla Model S<\/p>\n

The Micro SD card is 512mb so there’s a lot of room for stuff…<\/p>\n

I attached the OBD logger to the cable to get it ready.<\/p>\n

Accessing this part is the “scary” part because you have to snap it off.<\/p>\n

First you snap the little shelf from the center console…

Find the proprietary cable and pull it out<\/p>\n

Here it is ready to plug into.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_20150410_113028\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plug in the cable so that you can install the OBD MyEV logger.<\/p>\n

Snake it in, tuck some of the cable so that it is easier to reattach.<\/p>\n

It may have been scary to get it opened up to plug the logger in and installed, but…<\/p>\n

It’s all good after it’s done…<\/p>\n

\"IMG_20150410_115420\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, how’s the App?<\/p>\n

Pretty good, actually.  But, I’ll cover that later.  It provides the gamification and competitiveness between owners of the system, as was originally planned.  Firer more, it’s supposed to provide a snapshot of the car’s battery health.  Have yet to see those estimates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
