New cell phone app: Tesla Tattler --- works on all cell phones

[S-2000 Roadster]

Hey, Scott, can you give a summary of your product and its current status?
Is it a hardware device that you install inside the Roadster and connect to some port?
Does it work with the Roadster 2.5?
Are you selling it yet, or are the folks here all still part of the testing?

Can I suggest that a read through this thread might answer most or all of your questions.

Hey, Scott, can you give a summary of your product and its current status? Sure.

Is it a hardware device that you install inside the Roadster and connect to some port? Yes. It plugs into the diag port, not the ODBII port

Does it work with the Roadster 2.5?Yes. All Roadsters & all SMS (text message) capable cell phones.

Are you selling it yet, or are the folks here all still part of the testing? Not yet. I've identified the Alpha testers. Still finalizing the security certificates, then off to alpha testers

I did get approval from work to sell the tattler, so that's no longer an issue. I'm in Boston until Tuesday, but I hope to get something out to alpha group a couple of weeks or so after I get back. I think I have version that is working well. I just need to finish locking the software to the hardware. My real job has been interfering with the tattler development

Features:

SMS text message based command set. The tattler supports the following commands:

Coolness. What's the resolution on that Limit command? Are you able to set to say 31 Amps? That's a nice way to get around Tesla's sometimes non-optimal presets.

Are future firmware updates likely to break the Tattler?

Will the Tesla Tattler open source?
Can I make my own?

Any integer value between 12 and 70.

Are future firmware updates likely to break the Tattler?

probably not. The vds hasn't changed much. The tattler is basically a SMS based vds.

Will the Tesla Tattler open source?

I got permission from work for an open source release, but I am not planning to do so at this time. At some point I'll do a private release to further the development of the tattler. Eventually it could transision to open source.

I'll gladly pay for a turn-key solution. My soldering days are long behind me.

Isn't there a numbered reservation system?

Isn't there a numbered reservation system?

yes & I'm definitely in line.

I think with the weather here heating up, I'll be a tester if I am allowed to. I would be even partial to building one so Scott doesn't have to as I already have the CAN bus connector made up and a dual transceiver board in the works. (shipped to the board house for PCB fabrication)
