Tesla YouTuber Bjørn Nyland spends a lot of time driving around with the Scan My Tesla app overlaid on his stream.<p>Lots of interesting real-time data in there from the motors, battery, and cooling&#x2F;heating systems.<p>On the Model 3, it’s particularly interesting how it will start to generate extra heat from the motors as you approach a supercharger. Routing that heat to the battery brings the cells up to optimal temperature to allow faster charging.

To anyone who wants an introduction to car hacking, I recommend the Car Hacker&#x27;s Handbook, which is available for free online [0]. The book has a security focus but is also interesting to skim if you just want to learn a bit about what goes on in the networks in your car.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;opengarages.org&#x2F;handbook&#x2F;ebook&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;opengarages.org&#x2F;handbook&#x2F;ebook&#x2F;</a>

Not much to see here...<p>... could have been any generic &quot;Get data from my OBD or CAN bus for [car model]&quot; article.

This is kind of “system programming” that is interesting.
