# Tesla

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

## Setup

### First-time authentication:

```bash
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

Use `--car` or `-c` to specify which vehicle:

```bash
# List all vehicles
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py list

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

Without `--car`, commands target your first vehicle.
