Bosch ESI[tronic] adds Tesla to its diagnostic program
The range of vehicles covered by Bosch’s tried and tested ESI[tronic] diagnostic software now also includes Tesla models.
For the first time, therefore, independent workshops will now be able to use their everyday multibrand solution to perform extensive diagnostic work on Tesla models. Accessing diagnostic data was a special challenge when integrating Tesla.
In contrast to many other automakers whose data Bosch receives in advance and translates into [ESI]tronic languages, the original Tesla diagnosis interacts in English only. And while other documentation is available in several languages, it is not available in all 23 of the languages supported by [ESI]tronic.
To deal with this language barrier, Bosch says it has now come up with a technical solution that works with artificial intelligence, and has integrated this automatic translation functionality directly into the diagnostic process. As soon as a mechatronics engineer hooks up to a Tesla, the English diagnostic information is translated in real time into the user’s selected [ESI]tronic system language.
This innovative approach ensures that independent workshops can work on Tesla vehicles efficiently and precisely, without language difficulties. This addition is an important step toward providing independent workshops with a future-proof, comprehensive diagnostic solution for the growing electric-vehicle segment.
Bosch innovations at IAA Mobility 2025
The automotive industry is changing. Software and artificial intelligence are making cars even more digital, while codes and algorithms are turning driving into a customised experience. To develop its full potential, software needs the right hardware. After all, even the most modern car won’t move an inch without physical components.
Bosch operates in all relevant areas of software-driven mobility, and is a partner for automakers across the globe – regardless of how much progress they have made in the transformation to the software-defined vehicle.
With its profound automotive expertise, Bosch interconnects the various vehicle domains. From brakes, steering systems, and electric powertrains to sensors, vehicle computers, and software, the supplier of technology and services develops and manufactures the key components of modern vehicles under one roof.
At booth D01 in hall B3, Bosch is showcasing its latest solutions for connected and intelligent transportation systems at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich.
