This skill drives the tesla-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:
npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press install tesla --cli-only
tesla-pp-cli --version$GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin) is on $PATH.If the npx install fails before this CLI has a public-library category, install Node or use the category-specific Go fallback after publish.
If --version reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.
The Tesla owner-API as JSON-first commands, with a local SQLite that remembers every vehicle state. Get a single ready yes/no for departure, a tariff-aware charging cost ledger that replaces TeslaMate's Docker stack, and a supercharger queue watcher you can subscribe to from an agent. For 2018+ Models S/X and pre-2021 Models 3/Y, commands route end-to-end on plain REST; newer vehicles get a clear shim message via tesla reachability.
Use tesla-pp-cli when you want a JSON-first CLI for your Tesla owner account: vehicle state inspection, climate/lock/charge commands, charging cost analytics, and an MCP surface for AI agents to drive your car. Faster than the iOS app for one-off commands, more agent-friendly than TeslaPy, and ships a local SQLite that delivers TeslaMate-style analytics (drives, charges, vampire drain, cost ledger) without standing up Postgres+Grafana. Best fit for owners with pre-2021 Models S/X or 3/Y on the old REST endpoints; newer vehicles get a clear shim via tesla reachability.
These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.
ready — Single yes/no answer to "can I leave in 5 minutes?" with reasoned blocker list - SOC vs trip distance, plugged-in, doors closed, sentry off, cabin within 3F of target, no mid-install update
Most-asked Tesla owner question; the iOS app makes it a 6-tap diagnostic, agents need a one-call truth
tesla ready 5YJ3E1EA6XXXXXXXX --json
cost ledger — Per-session cost, monthly spend, home-vs-Supercharger ratio with tariff-window aware $/kWh
Charging cost is the #1 Tesla-owner spreadsheet exercise; this is the first pure-CLI replacement for the TeslaMate dashboard
tesla cost ledger --since 2026-04-01 --group supercharger --json
cost what-if — "If you had only charged at home you would have saved $X over the last 90 days." Re-runs charge rows with home $/kWh substituted for Supercharger sessions
Most Tesla owners suspect they could save by charging at home but lack proof; this puts a dollar figure on it
tesla cost what-if --only-home --since 90d --json
timeline — Stitched drives + charges from synced vehicle_states polls - start/end, distance, energy, efficiency, address-resolved lat/lng
Lets agents reason over the same data TeslaMate exposes, without standing up Docker+Postgres+Grafana
tesla timeline --since "last week" --json
vampire — SOC delta vs idle time, flags suspicious sentry sessions or app-wake events
Warranty-dispute evidence and rogue-sentry detection; TeslaMate dashboard only otherwise
tesla vampire --threshold 1.5pct/24h --since 30d --json
supercharger watch — Single-poll snapshot of free stalls at a saved Supercharger; --watch repeats every N seconds with JSON-lines transitions
Avoids the I-90 Issaquah queue at peak; pageable from an agent on a drive
tesla supercharger watch 1000 --free-stalls 2 --watch --json
keys audit — Lists every enrolled key with last-seen, role, form-factor; flags keys not seen >90d as stale candidates for removal
Security-minded owners worry about old phones and abandoned NFC cards still pairing with their car; this is the quarterly review
tesla keys audit --stale-after 90d --json
doctor — Detects signed-command-required errors, classifies the vehicle as REST-friendly vs signed-command-required, prints tesla-control enrollment URL when needed
Tesla's 2024-2026 signed-command rollout is the #1 user-facing landmine for any Tesla CLI; this is the only one that surfaces it clearly
tesla doctor --json

tesla-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"
which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.
tesla snap --all --json && tesla ready 5YJ3E1EA6XXXXXXXX --json
Capture vehicle state for every car on the account, then check whether your primary vehicle is ready to drive.
tesla ready 5YJ3E1EA6XXXXXXXX --json --select ready,blockers
One JSON object: is the car ready to drive, and if not, why not. Use --select to limit response size for agents.
tesla cost ledger --since 30d --group supercharger,home --json --select total_usd,sessions,kwh_added,supercharger_ratio
Per-month breakdown with dotted-path --select so the agent sees only the rollup fields, not every session.
tesla vehicles create-auto-conditioning-start 5YJ3E1EA6XXXXXXXX --json
Start climate preconditioning. Run tesla ready <vin> ten minutes later to confirm cabin warmed up.
tesla supercharger watch 1000 --free-stalls 2 --watch --json
Subscribe to free-stall transitions at a saved site; emits one JSON line per transition. Pipe to an agent for alerting.
tesla-pp-cli analytics --select battery_level,captured_at --limit 30 --json
Pull the 30 most recent vehicle-state rows from the local SQLite for trend analysis; same data TeslaMate would surface in Grafana.
tesla auth fleet-template --gen-key --dest ./tesla-keys-host
cd tesla-keys-host && vercel deploy --prod
# Register the resulting <your-host>.vercel.app at developer.tesla.com, copy client_id and client_secret.
tesla auth fleet-register --public-key-domain <your-host>.vercel.app --client-id <id> --client-secret-file <secret-file>
tesla auth fleet-login
tesla command unlock --vehicle Stella --send
Run once to scaffold the public-key host, deploy it, register at Tesla, and complete user OAuth. After that, unlock (and any other signed command) works from anywhere with internet. Per-call cost: $0.001 plus a $0.02 wake if the car is asleep. Inside the $10/mo personal-use credit, that lands at roughly $0 net.
tesla auth login --via tesla-auth
tesla auth ble-pair --vin <your-vin>

tesla-http-proxy -key-file ~/.config/tesla-pp-cli/private.pem -port 4443 -cert auto &
tesla relay start
tesla command set-charge-limit --vehicle Snowflake --percent 80 --send
iOS-app PKCE login, one-time BLE key enrollment at the car, then a local proxy plus relay. Subsequent tesla command set-charge-limit, tesla command climate-on, tesla command honk, and tesla command media-toggle-playback ride free over Hermes. Unlock and trunk are not available on this path; for those, use Fleet.
The --via flag picks which transport handles a signed command:
tesla command set-charge-limit --vehicle Snowflake --percent 80 --send --via hermes
tesla command unlock --vehicle Stella --send --via fleet
tesla command flash-lights --vehicle Snowflake --send --via ble
Defaults: pre-2021 vehicles use REST, post-2021 vehicles use whichever signed path is enrolled. If both Hermes and Fleet are enrolled, Hermes wins for infotainment commands (cheaper) and Fleet wins for unlock/lock/trunk (Hermes does not carry these). Override per-call with --via.
# On laptop:
tesla auth export --out tesla-bundle.enc
scp tesla-bundle.enc user@mac-mini:~/
# On Mac mini:
tesla auth import ~/tesla-bundle.enc
tesla command honk --vehicle Snowflake --send --via fleet
Export creates an Argon2id plus AES-256-GCM bundle of the REST bearer, the Fleet bearer, and the enrolled ECDSA keypair. Copy it over Tailscale or any secure channel. Import on the remote, enter the passphrase, and the same Fleet creds plus the same enrolled key work from the new host. The car does not need to re-enroll; key identity rides on the keypair.
Text form (rendered consistently across SKILL.md viewers):
Is the vehicle pre-2021?
Yes -> REST (default path, no extra setup)
No -> Continue.
Is the car within Bluetooth range of this host?
Yes -> BLE (free, all commands, no internet needed)
No -> Continue.
Do you need unlock, lock, trunk, or another non-infotainment signed command?
Yes -> Fleet API (roughly $0/mo within personal-use credit)
No -> Hermes (free, infotainment commands only)
Deploying to a second host (cloud Mac mini, Pi)?
Use the chosen path above, then `tesla auth export` and `tesla auth import` on the remote.
Run tesla auth login and the CLI opens Tesla's real login page in your browser. Log in there (Tesla owns MFA, captcha, SMS codes - we never see them), Tesla redirects you to a 404 page on auth.tesla.com after success, you paste that URL back here. The CLI extracts the auth code via PKCE, exchanges it for tokens, and stores them in ~/.config/tesla-pp-cli/config.toml (mode 0600). Bearer tokens last 8h; the CLI silently re-mints them on 401 using the long-lived refresh token, so once you log in you don't need to think about it. Headless / CI fallbacks: auth login --paste reads a pre-captured refresh token from stdin, auth login --refresh-token <tok> skips stdin, and auth login --via tesla-auth subprocesses into adriankumpf/tesla_auth (if you have it installed and prefer the native window). Newer vehicles on Tesla's signed-command protocol need separate key enrollment - see tesla reachability for diagnosis.
Run tesla-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.
Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.
Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
Filterable — --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:
tesla-pp-cli charging --agent --select id,name,status
Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending
Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag
Explicit retries — use --idempotent only when an already-existing create should count as success
Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:
{
"meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
"results": <data>
}
Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal AND no machine-format flag (--json, --csv, --compact, --quiet, --plain, --select) is set — piped/agent consumers and explicit-format runs get pure JSON on stdout.
When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:
tesla-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
tesla-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
tesla-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10
Entries are stored locally at ~/.tesla-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless TESLA_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or TESLA_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.
Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.
Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:
| Sink | Effect |
|---|---|
stdout | Default; write to stdout only |
file:<path> | Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename) |
webhook:<url> | POST the output body to the URL (application/json or application/x-ndjson when --compact) |
Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.
A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.
tesla-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
tesla-pp-cli --profile briefing charging
tesla-pp-cli profile list --json
tesla-pp-cli profile show briefing
tesla-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes
Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.
