    Hehehe, we all know how that’s like. I’m sure this income will truly be used to improve their services and support robust and reliable API infrastructure.

      You can do basically everything you can do from teslas own app, but automated and even a little more. For example I use it to automatically control charging power to match the surplus of my solar panels, that keeps my grid-use for my car to 0kWh for roughly 5 months of the year. And I can set the charging power lower than I can in the Tesla app (app is 5A minimum, API goes to 0A), which is convenient for the solar charging.

      And of course you can pull battery data, odometer etc. with it as well.

    Fuck Elon. Fuck Tesla.

    I was their target demographic amd Elon made sure that I never even consider their trash. I went BMW instead.

      BMW does have shady monetization tactics with their newer car, but Subaru shred almost every other car brands to dust

      BMW lobbies against non-car based infrastructure and car industry regulation here in Germany. Biggest shareholder is the Quandt family, who are descendant from literal Nazis, and now use part of their billions to fund the conservatives (at least they aren’t giving it to the far-right. Yet.)

      So yeah, fuck Elon, but fuck BMW too.

    I’m surprised devs didn’t see the writing on the wall after Twitter all but murdered its API

      Tesla is an American company, in Texas, at that.

      It wouldn’t matter if there were.

    When Twitter (and Reddit) pulled this off, I was just mildly pissed. Can’t do interesting things with my data, oh no.

    …Image that, except it’s an expensive luxury car you’re no longer allowed to do interesting things with.

    Something to note: Tesla has two vehicle APIs, the Fleet API for commercial accounts and the Owner API for individuals. This change currently only impacts the Fleet API.

    If you are an individual owner who accesses your vehicle data from the Owner API (usually via a self hosted tool like TeslaMate), this does not affect you. Yet.

      Hey kid, don’t waste your breath defending corporations. You will end up being wrong in the end, and before that you just look like a fool.
