What it does

Tesla is an agent skill from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot. Control your Tesla vehicles - lock/unlock, climate, location, charge status, and more. Supports multiple vehicles.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `.clawhub/origin.json`, `_meta.json` and `scripts/tesla.py`).

It sits in Backend & APIs. The repository describes itself as: One agent. Every kind of work. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Backend & APIs work in your project

Example prompts

“/tesla”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Display a Tesla login URL
You log in and authorize in browser
Paste the callback URL back
Token cached for future use (~30 days, auto-refreshes)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b50970c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- claude.ai
- tesla-api.timdorr.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tesla loads about 917 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~917

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Tesla

Control your Tesla vehicles from Openclaw. Supports multiple cars on one account.

Setup

INSTALLATION AND USE INSTRUCTIONS

First-time authentication:

bash

TESLA_EMAIL="you@email.com" python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py auth

This will:

Display a Tesla login URL
You log in and authorize in browser
Paste the callback URL back
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.

Commands

bash

# List all vehicles
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py list

# Get vehicle status
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py status
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py --car "Stella" status

# Lock/unlock
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py lock
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py unlock

# Climate
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py climate on
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py climate off
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py climate temp 72

# Charging
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py charge status
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py charge start
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py charge stop

# Location
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py location

# Honk & flash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py honk
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py flash

# Wake up (if asleep)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/tesla.py wake

Example Chat Usage

"Is my Tesla locked?"
"Lock Stella"
"What's Snowflake's battery level?"
"Where's my Model X?"
"Turn on the AC in Stella"
"Honk the horn on Snowflake"

API Reference

Uses the unofficial Tesla Owner API documented at: https://tesla-api.timdorr.com

Troubleshooting

Auth not working?

Try opening the auth URL on your phone browser instead of desktop
Make sure you're logged into the correct Tesla account
Clear cookies and try again

Security & Permissions

This skill controls physical vehicles. Use with caution.

What this skill does:

Authenticates via Tesla's official OAuth flow using the teslapy library
Sends vehicle commands (lock, unlock, climate, charge) to Tesla's official API
Caches OAuth refresh token locally in ~/.tesla_cache.json
All communication is between your machine and Tesla's servers only

What this skill does NOT do:

Does not store your Tesla password - uses OAuth token flow
Does not send credentials or vehicle data to any third party
Does not access any system resources beyond the Tesla API
Cannot be invoked autonomously by the agent (disable-model-invocation: true)
The agent must be explicitly triggered by you for every command

Key safety:

Refresh token cached in ~/.tesla_cache.json with restricted permissions
Tokens auto-refresh for ~30 days
Only use on trusted, personal machines
Review scripts/tesla.py before first use - it communicates only with Tesla's official API
