# 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.
