OBDII is only required for engine diagnostics, no? I've heard that Tesla cars don't have them, for example.

It depends what country you're in. My country, the Tesla does have an ODB II port, because it's a requirement for cars sold here. I don't believe that's the case in the US, although those have a CAN port.

It is only required for emissions diagnostics. Which is a small subset of total engine diagnostics, though the most common things to go wrong on an engine affect emissions so for practical purposes it is engine.
