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

Setup / Configuration

Setup is documented in SETUP.md:

•SETUP.md

(It covers .env, config.json/auth.json, proxy setup, and key enrollment.)

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

Set Temperature

bash

command.py climate temps <driver_temp> [passenger_temp]
command.py climate temps 21             # both seats 21°C
command.py climate temps 22 20          # driver 22°C, passenger 20°C

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`
