Data Dictionary

Fields received by connectivity method

Integration Levels

Some methods (SmartCar and AutoPi) may be combined for a single vehicle.

AutoPi

The most reliable connection method, vehicle data is streamed so there are no risks of data failures or delays.

Smartcar

DIMO makes data requests and pulls data once approximately every 4 hours.

Tesla

DIMO makes data requests and pulls data once every few minutes.

Gold / Silver / Bronze

🥇 Gold tier vehicles can generally access all DIMO features and have the richest quality and quantity of data.

🥈 Silver tier vehicles can access most DIMO features.

🥉 Bronze tier vehicles provide us with the lowest quality and quantity of data. Most vehicles in this level have yet to be fully decoded.
