How do you link the adapter to the Tesla app? I’m surprised they’re ok with any 3rd party hardware.
All the Tesla app knows is that I have a Chevy Bolt and I have an adapter, it doesn't seem to care what adapter it is.
Didn’t realize the cars were playing along. Thought it was some kind of spoofing or emulation.
Sounds like this is all very new! Exciting!
The other brands have agreements with Tesla to allow this. My understanding is that they pay a recurring fee to Tesla.
IIRC the third-party adapters have to be approved by Tesla, but I think there are 3 options right now. The other carmakers didn’t want to risk being hampered by Tesla production bottlenecks.
