The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are popular electric vehicles that dispense with some of the usual provisions you’d expect in a typical car.

Now, a bit of open-source software has stepped in to fill the void. Piggybacking off of an existing adapter to read information from Tesla’s cars, developer Nick Nguyen has created a free Android app that functions as a dashboard for the Model 3 — right on the screen of your phone.
