Tesla

Control your Tesla vehicles from Clawdbot. Supports multiple cars on one account.

Setup

First-time authentication:

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

This will:

  1. Display a Tesla login URL
  2. You log in and authorize in browser
  3. Paste the callback URL back
  4. Token cached for future use (~30 days, auto-refreshes)

Environment variables:

  • TESLA_EMAIL — Your Tesla account email
  • Token cached in ~/.tesla_cache.json

Multi-Vehicle Support

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py list

# Commands for specific car
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py --car "Snowflake" status

Without --car, commands target your first vehicle.
