Introduction
# Tesla Fleet API
Control Tesla vehicles via the official Fleet API.
## Scripts Overview
| Script | Purpose | |--------|---------| | `command.py` | Vehicle commands (climate, charging, locks, etc.) | | `vehicle_data.py` | Read vehicle data (battery, climate, location, etc.) | | `vehicles.py` | List vehicles + refresh cache | | `auth.py` | Authentication and configuration | | `tesla_oauth_local.py` | OAuth helper with local callback server | | `start_proxy.sh` | Start the signing proxy (for vehicle commands) | | `stop_proxy.sh` | Stop the signing proxy |
---
## Setup / Configuration
Setup is documented in **`SETUP.md`**:
- [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 โ 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
```bash command.py [VEHICLE] <command> [options] ```
- `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")
---
### Climate Control
#### Start/Stop Climate ```bash command.py climate start command.py climate stop command.py flash climate start # specific vehicle ```
#### Set Temperature ```bash command.py climate temps <driver_temp> [passenger_temp] command.py climate temps 21 # both seats 21ยฐC command.py climate temps 22 20 # driver 22ยฐC, passenger 20ยฐC ```
#### Climate Keeper Mode ```bash command.py climate keeper <mode> ``` Modes: `off`, `keep`, `dog`, `camp`
---
### Seat Heater
```bash command.py seat-heater --level <level> [--position <position>] command.py seat-heater -l <level> [-p <position>] ```
**Levels:** | Value | Name | |-------|------| | 0 | off | | 1 | low | | 2 | medium | | 3 | high |
**Positions:** | Value | Names | |-------|-------| | 0 | `driver`, `front_left`, `fl` | | 1 | `passenger`, `front_right`, `fr` | | 2 | `rear_left`, `rl` | | 3 | `rear_left_back` | | 4 | `rear_center`, `rc` | | 5 | `rear_right`, `rr` | | 6 | `rear_right_back` | | 7 | `third_left` | | 8 | `third_right` |
**Examples:** ```bash command.py seat-heater -l high # driver (default) command.py seat-heater -l medium -p passenger command.py seat-heater --level low --position rear_left command.py seat-heater -l 2 -p 4 # medium, rear center command.py seat-heater -l off -p driver # turn off ```
---
### Seat Cooler (Ventilation)
```bash command.py seat-cooler --level <level> [--position <position>] command.py seat-cooler -l <level> [-p <position>] ```
Same levels and positions as seat heater.
**Examples:** ```bash command.py seat-cooler -l medium -p driver command.py seat-cooler -l high -p passenger ```
---
### Seat Auto Climate
```bash command.py seat-climate [--position <position>] <mode> command.py seat-climate [-p <position>] <mode> ```
Modes: `auto`, `on`, `off`
**Examples:** ```bash command.py seat-climate auto # driver auto command.py seat-climate -p passenger auto command.py seat-climate -p driver off # disable auto ```
---
### Steering Wheel Heater
```bash command.py steering-heater <on|off> ```
**Examples:** ```bash command.py steering-heater on command.py steering-heater off ```
---
### Precondition Schedules
Modern API for scheduling departure preconditioning (replaces deprecated `set_scheduled_departure`).
#### Add Schedule ```bash command.py precondition add --time <HH:MM> [--days <days>] [--id <id>] [--one-time] [--disabled] command.py precondition add -t <HH:MM> [-d <days>] [--id <id>] ```
**Days options:** | Value | Description | |-------|-------------| | `all` | Every day (default) | | `weekdays` | Monday through Friday | | `weekends` | Saturday and Sunday | | `mon,tue,wed,...` | Specific days (comma-separated) |
Day names: `sun`, `mon`, `tue`, `wed`, `thu`, `fri`, `sat` (or full names)
**Examples:** ```bash command.py precondition add -t 08:00 # every day at 8am 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 ```
#### Remove Schedule ```bash command.py precondition remove --id <id> ```
**Examples:** ```bash command.py precondition remove --id 123 command.py precondition remove --id 1 ```
---
### Charging Control
#### Start/Stop Charging ```bash command.py charge start command.py charge stop ```
#### Set Charge Limit ```bash command.py charge limit <percent> ```
Percent must be 50-100.
**Examples:** ```bash command.py charge limit 80 command.py charge limit 90 command.py flash charge limit 70 # specific vehicle ```
---
### Doors & Security
```bash command.py lock # lock all doors command.py unlock # unlock all doors command.py honk # honk the horn command.py flash # flash the lights command.py wake # wake vehicle from sleep ```
**With vehicle name:** ```bash command.py flash wake # wake vehicle named "flash" command.py flash flash # flash lights on vehicle "flash" ```
---
## vehicle_data.py - Read Vehicle Data
Fetch vehicle data with human-readable output by default.
### Usage
```bash vehicle_data.py [VEHICLE] [flags] [--json] ```
- `VEHICLE` - Vehicle name or VIN (optional if single vehicle) - No flags = all data - `--json` = raw JSON output
### Flags
| Flag | Long | Data | |------|------|------| | `-c` | `--charge` | Battery level, charge limit, charging status | | `-t` | `--climate` | Interior/exterior temp, HVAC status | | `-d` | `--drive` | Gear, speed, power, heading | | `-l` | `--location` | GPS coordinates | | `-s` | `--state` | Locks, doors, windows, odometer, software | | `-g` | `--gui` | GUI settings (units, 24h time) | | | `--config-data` | Vehicle config (model, color, wheels) |
### Examples
```bash # All data vehicle_data.py vehicle_data.py flash
# Specific data vehicle_data.py -c # charge only vehicle_data.py -c -t # charge + climate vehicle_data.py flash -c -l # charge + location
# Raw JSON vehicle_data.py --json vehicle_data.py -c --json ```
### Sample Output

## auth.py - Authentication
Manage OAuth tokens and configuration.
### Usage
```bash auth.py <command> [options] ```
### Commands
#### Login (OAuth Flow) ```bash auth.py login ``` Interactive: generates auth URL, prompts for code, exchanges for tokens.
#### Exchange Code ```bash auth.py exchange <code> ``` Exchange authorization code for tokens (non-interactive).
#### Refresh Tokens ```bash auth.py refresh ``` Refresh access token. Note: refresh tokens rotate - the new one is saved automatically.
#### Register Domain ```bash auth.py register --domain <domain> ``` Register your app domain with Tesla (required for signed commands).
After registration, enroll your virtual key: ``` https://tesla.com/_ak/<domain> ```
#### Show Config ```bash auth.py config ``` Display current configuration (secrets redacted).
#### Set Config ```bash auth.py config set [options] ```
Options: - `--client-id <id>` - `--client-secret <secret>` - `--redirect-uri <uri>` - `--audience <url>` - `--base-url <url>` - `--ca-cert <path>` - `--domain <domain>`
**Examples:** ```bash # Initial setup auth.py config set \ --client-id "abc123" \ --client-secret "secret" \ --redirect-uri "http://localhost:18080/callback"
# Configure proxy auth.py config set \ --base-url "https://localhost:4443" \ --ca-cert "/path/to/tls-cert.pem" ```

## Troubleshooting
### "vehicle unavailable: vehicle is offline or asleep" Wake the vehicle first: ```bash command.py wake ```
### "command not signed" / "vehicle rejected" Ensure the signing proxy is running and configured. See [SETUP.md](SETUP.md) ยง Proxy Setup.
### Token expired ```bash auth.py refresh ```
### Multiple vehicles Specify vehicle by name or VIN: ```bash command.py flash climate start command.py 5YJ... honk ```
