my-tesla – OpenClaw Skill
my-tesla is an OpenClaw Skills integration for data analytics workflows. Control Tesla vehicles from macOS via the Tesla Owner API using teslapy (auth, list cars, status, lock/unlock, climate, charging, location, and extras). Use when you want to check your car state or run safe remote commands. Designed for Parth Maniar (@officialpm) with local-only auth caching, confirmation gates for disruptive actions, and chat-friendly status output.

My Tesla
Author: Parth Maniar — @officialpm
A practical Tesla control skill for Clawdbot built on teslapy.
Setup
Requirements
TESLA_EMAILenv var set (your Tesla account email)- Python 3.10+
First-time authentication
TESLA_EMAIL="you@email.com" python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py auth
This opens a Tesla login URL. Log in, then paste the callback URL back into the CLI.
- Token cache:
~/.tesla_cache.json(local only; best-effort chmod0600) - Optional: set
MY_TESLA_DEFAULT_CARto a vehicle display name to pick a default car via env var - Or persist a local default with:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py default-car "Name"(writes~/.my_tesla.json; best-effort chmod0600)
Commands
# List vehicles
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py list
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py list --json # machine-readable, privacy-safe
# Version
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py version
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py --version
# Pick a car (optional)
# --car accepts: exact name, partial name (substring match), or a 1-based index from `list`
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py --car "Model" status
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py --car 1 report
# Set a default car (used when --car is not passed)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py default-car "My Model 3"
# One-line summary (best for chat)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py summary
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py summary --no-wake # don't wake a sleeping car
# One-screen report (chat friendly, more detail)
# Includes battery/charging/climate + (when available) TPMS tire pressures.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py report
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py report --no-wake
