I have assembled a batch of diagnostic cables for use with Tesla Powertrain Diagnostics ("TPD"), which I can provide at my cost for those who don't wish to fabricate (solder) their own. The soldering is straightforward, but nibbling out the connector shell's side and center plastic is a little fiddly; I use two Dremel tools. Do NOT push the out-of-the-box OBDII connector shell onto the diagnostic port without removing the side locking feature, or you'll have some trouble removing it (it wants to mate for life), and the diagnostic port itself has a plastic blocking key; I remove the mating plastic from the OBDII connector shell, so it slips on without fuss. Throws a lot of black plastic around, though, whilst modifying.
I assemble them using a generic OBDII connector, and a Belkin 10' CAT6 ethernet patch cable. The cables are in various colors, depending upon availability.
OBDII Connector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083FF4Y85
Belkin CAT6 cable, 10': https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000067RM9
I will mail one of these anywhere USPS can deliver via Ground Advantage, for $24.
If you need it shipped faster (Priority), add $6.
I chose 10' lengths in case someone wants to be in the drivers seat whilst using TPD. If you're working in the back, next to the diag. port, only 2' is needed. I can make different length cables upon request.
