I had Raspberry Pi 3+ ,so may I use Raspberry Pi 3+ to do this?

hilli commented 5 years ago

Nope. Raspberry Pi Zero only. The other Pi's have a USB hub on them, which ruins the USB-To-Go.

copy that. thanks.

Is there any ways to make this possible on other raspberry's? Using some other approach?

hilli commented 5 years ago

@rreynier, not on the Pi's. But I just found this thing (Alas, I haven't tried it):

It is an ARM7 CPU, 1GB RAM, has USB On-The-Go support and 2 USB 2.0 ports. No wifi though, but you can use a USB WiFi dongle for that. I also like the build in battery that acts a an UPS - Handy for when the Tesla shuts off the power, allowing for a graceful shutdown of the thing.
