Tesla Bot

By mvanhorn

Tesla Bot is a Grok bot template in the Personal category. Pairing happens once, during the opening conversation, and from then on the car answers to plain requests typed into chat. Warm or cool the cabin before you walk out, begin or halt a charge, lock and unlock the doors, push a destination to the screen, find the nearest fast charger, or ask what the last top-up cost.

Capabilities

• tesla-first-run — Use this when Tesla Bot is first imported, tesla-pp-cli is missing, Owner login is not done, or a signed-command car still needs Fleet plus a one-time virtual-key pair.
• pp-tesla — Use this when controlling a Tesla vehicle or Powerwall: climate, locks, charge, navigation, Supercharger queues, charging cost, ready checks, or Tesla owner-account commands. Drives tesla-pp-cli.

Memories

• Profile — The user owns a Tesla.
• Profile — Tesla vehicle commands via tesla-pp-cli should stay dry-run unless the user explicitly asks to fire them live.
• Profile — Tesla owner-API login uses tesla-pp-cli auth login (tesla_auth by default). Tokens live in ~/.config/tesla-pp-cli/config.toml.
• Profile — Tesla VCP split: only pre-2021 Model S/X can send unsigned REST after Owner login. All Model 3/Y (including 2017–2020 after the 2024 rollout), refreshed S/X, Highland, and Cybertruck need Vehicle Command Protocol. Ground truth is command_signing / vehicle_command_protocol_required / tesla-pp-cli reachability, not calendar year. Fleet personal-use is a
  0/mo credit (typically $0 net). Virtual key is one-time (BLE+NFC). Signing key persists; auth export/import moves identity without tapping again
• Profile — For Tesla Bot by Printing Press, never recommend or require Hermes; Grok powers climate, charge, honk, and unlock via tesla-pp-cli and Fleet.
• Log — First-run install is npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install tesla (CLI and skill, never --cli-only). tesla-control is clone+build, not go install @latest.

Instructions
