As of June 12, 2026 the Owner API is fully deprecated. You can only use the Tesla Fleet API to get data and the Tesla Vehicle Command to send commands/get data.

Registering to use the Fleet API is quick and you just need to clone the Vehicle Command repository and send commands to your localhost running tesla-http-proxy.

Before running the tesla-http-proxy, you need to follow instructions to generate a private key in your system keyring and save the public key to a file. Then you need to pair your public key with your Tesla by getting in your car, enabling bluetooth on your device running these Tesla command-line tools, and using your NFC card. It seems you only need to generate the private and public key once. Any Tesla vehicle you have can be paired with that same public key. On some of the vehicle models, there's no visualization on screen informing you to tap your NFC card which can be confusing.

/python

Track Tesla Vehicle data in Google Sheets (example), send email reminders to plug in car, calculate charging start times, and advanced schedule based preconditioning. Additional code for Tesla Energy products that writes data to InfluxDB.

These are some older videos I created for in-depth walk throughs of the functionality and code which I'll update over time.

/golang

I've started porting over the Python code to Golang as another backup. I haven't replicated all the Python functions but I have the majority completed. The Golang code is still dependent on the Python ones, e.g. configurations, tokens. Over time, I'll continue to work on the Golang version to make it stand-alone.

I'm a beginner at Golang, and coding overall, so please forgive my design of the Golang code and folder structure.
