DIMO Integrates Directly With Tesla APIs

Announcement

DIMO, the popular connected car app, now directly integrates with Tesla APIs. Where many automakers struggle with issues of security, privacy, and openness, Tesla continues to lead the way by supporting robust connections with open mobility platforms. Tesla drivers will now be able to seamlessly manage their connection to DIMO via their Tesla app or infotainment system and continue earning rewards for simply having their vehicle connected to the network.

For Tesla drivers, this integration brings several benefits, including fine-grained permission control, access to additional commands within the DIMO app (such as opening doors, unlocking the trunk, etc.), and advanced widgets for better car health tracking. This signifies a major step forward, as it marks the beginning of automakers like Tesla opening up their codebases for integration with third party car platforms like DIMO. As an industry leader, it’s no surprise that Tesla is the first to embrace direct data integration, and there is optimism that more automakers will soon follow suit.

DIMO is always adding more perks for Tesla and EV owners, so if you aren't connected, hurry up, download the app and connect before you miss out! Get started.

Upgrading Steps for Teslas Already on DIMO

For Tesla drivers already connected to DIMO, we are grateful for your support and for playing a part in this journey. To upgrade and remain linked to DIMO, simply open up the DIMO app and reestablish your connection by tapping your Tesla in the Garage tab. You will then be guided through the reconnection process. As part of the first step you will be prompted to sign in to your Tesla account.

The final step is adding a virtual key. Have your Tesla app downloaded and be sure to be logged in. From the DIMO app, you will be redirected to the Tesla page where you can approve the virtual key by pressing Finish Setup. Congrats, you have finished reconnecting your Tesla! It will take 24 hours for your connection to be re-established.

We appreciate you taking the time to reconnect your vehicle and being a part of the DIMO community. To fully upgrade, you must complete both steps by October 31 to avoid missing out on rewards. Past that date, Teslas that haven’t gone through the above upgrade process will lose their connection to the DIMO Network and will not be eligible for weekly baseline rewards.
