Tesla Fleet API

Tesla Fleet API

Control Tesla vehicles via the official Fleet API.

Scripts Overview

Setup / Configuration

Setup is documented in `SETUP.md`:

• SETUP.md

State directory: {workspace}/tesla-fleet-api/

• config.json (provider creds + non-token config)
• auth.json (tokens)
• vehicles.json (cached vehicle list)
• places.json (named locations)
• proxy/ (TLS material for signing proxy)

No .env file loading — credentials in config.json or environment variables.

command.py - Vehicle Commands

Execute commands on your Tesla. Vehicle is auto-selected if you only have one.

Usage

• VEHICLE - Vehicle name or VIN (optional if single vehicle)
• Commands can be run without specifying vehicle: command.py honk
• Or with vehicle name: command.py flash honk (vehicle "flash", command "honk")

command.py precondition add -t 08:00 -d weekdays  # Mon-Fri
command.py precondition add -t 07:30 -d mon,wed,fri
command.py precondition add -t 09:00 --one-time   # one-time only
command.py precondition add -t 08:30 --id 123     # modify existing schedule
command.py precondition add -t 08:00 --disabled   # create but disabled

command.py charge limit 90
command.py flash charge limit 70                  # specific vehicle

Doors & Security

command.py lock                   # lock all doors
command.py unlock                 # unlock all doors
