my-tesla

Control Tesla vehicles from macOS via the Tesla Owner API using teslapy (auth, list cars, status, lock/unlock, climate, charging, location, and extras). Use when you want to check your car state or run safe remote commands. Designed for Parth Maniar (@officialpm) with local-only auth caching, confirmation gates for disruptive actions, and chat-friendly status output.

Best use case

my-tesla is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Teams using my-tesla should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# My Tesla

**Author:** Parth Maniar — [@officialpm](https://github.com/officialpm)

A practical Tesla control skill for Clawdbot built on `teslapy`.

## Setup

### Requirements

- `TESLA_EMAIL` env var set (your Tesla account email)
- Python 3.10+

### First-time authentication

```bash
TESLA_EMAIL="you@email.com" python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py auth
```

This opens a Tesla login URL. Log in, then paste the callback URL back into the CLI.

- Token cache: `~/.tesla_cache.json` (local only; best-effort chmod `0600`)
- Optional: set `MY_TESLA_DEFAULT_CAR` to a vehicle display name to pick a default car via env var
- Or persist a local default with: `python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py default-car "Name"` (writes `~/.my_tesla.json`; best-effort chmod `0600`)

## Commands

```bash
# List vehicles
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py list
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py list --json   # machine-readable, privacy-safe

# Version
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py version
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py --version

# Debugging
# If something fails unexpectedly, add --debug for a full traceback
# (or set MY_TESLA_DEBUG=1)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py --debug status --no-wake

# Pick a car (optional)
# --car accepts: exact name, partial name (substring match), or a 1-based index from `list`
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py --car "Model" status
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py --car 1 report

# Set a default car (used when --car is not passed)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py default-car "My Model 3"

# One-line summary (best for chat)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py summary
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py summary --no-wake   # don't wake a sleeping car

# Summary as JSON (privacy-safe)
# Unlike `status --json`, this emits a small sanitized object (no location).
# Includes `usable_level_percent` when the vehicle reports it.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py summary --json
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py summary --json --raw-json   # raw vehicle_data (may include location)

# One-screen report (chat friendly, more detail)
# Includes battery/charging/climate + (when available) TPMS tire pressures.
# Includes "Usable battery" when the vehicle reports it (helpful for health/degradation).
# Also includes a quick openings summary (doors/trunk/frunk/windows) when available.
# When available, includes a compact seat heater summary line.
# When the vehicle reports it, includes scheduled departure / preconditioning / off-peak charging status.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py report
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py report --no-wake

# Detailed status
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py status

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py status --summary   # include one-line summary + detailed output
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py --car "My Model 3" status

# JSON output (prints ONLY JSON; good for piping/parsing)
# NOTE: `status --json` outputs *raw* `vehicle_data`, which may include location/drive_state.
# Prefer `summary --json` (sanitized) or `report --json` (sanitized) unless you explicitly need the raw payload.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py summary --json              # sanitized summary object (no location)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py report --json               # sanitized report object (no location; includes scheduled charging + charge port state)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py status --json               # raw vehicle_data (may include location)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py report --json --raw-json    # raw vehicle_data (may include location)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py summary --json --raw-json   # raw vehicle_data (may include location)

## Safety defaults

Some actions require an explicit confirmation flag:
- `unlock`, `charge start|stop|limit|amps`, `trunk`, `windows`, `seats set`, `sentry on|off`, `honk`, `flash`, `charge-port open|close`, and `scheduled-charging set|off` require `--yes`
- `location` is *approximate* by default; add `--yes` for precise coordinates (or `--digits N` to control rounding)

## Privacy

- Credentials are cached locally only (`~/.tesla_cache.json`).
- Do not commit tokens, logs, VINs, or location outputs.
