Tesla
Control your Tesla vehicles from Openclaw. Supports multiple cars on one account.
Setup
INSTALLATION AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
First-time authentication:
TESLA_EMAIL="[email protected]" 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:
# 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.

Security & Permissions
This skill controls physical vehicles. Use with caution.
What this skill does:
- Authenticates via Tesla's official OAuth flow using the teslapy library
- Sends vehicle commands (lock, unlock, climate, charge) to Tesla's official API
- Caches OAuth refresh token locally in ~/.tesla_cache.json
- All communication is between your machine and Tesla's servers only
What this skill does NOT do:
- Does not store your Tesla password — uses OAuth token flow
- Does not send credentials or vehicle data to any third party
- Does not access any system resources beyond the Tesla API
- Cannot be invoked autonomously by the agent (disable-model-invocation: true)
- The agent must be explicitly triggered by you for every command
Key safety:
- Refresh token cached in ~/.tesla_cache.json with restricted permissions
- Tokens auto-refresh for ~30 days
- Only use on trusted, personal machines
- Review scripts/tesla.py before first use — it communicates only with Tesla's official API
