This distribution provides methods for accessing and updating aspects of your Tesla vehicle. Not all attributes available through Tesla's API have methods listed here yet, but more will be added as time goes on.
To access attributes that we don't have methods for, see the "AGGREGATE DATA METHODS" section, pull that data, then extract out the info you want. If we don't have an aggregate data method for something you want yet, see Tesla::API to be able to get this yourself.
As always, requests for updates to my software is encouraged. Please just open an issue.
IMPORTANT
The parent module Tesla::API that we inherit the Tesla API access code from has a complex caching mechanism in place that you ought to know about. Please do read through the Tesla API Caching documentation.
OBJECT MANAGEMENT METHODS
new(%params)
Instantiates and returns a new Tesla::Vehicle object. We subclass Tesla::API so there are several things inherited.
Parameters:
All parameters are sent in as a hash. See the documentation for Tesla::API for further parameters that can be sent into this method.
idOptional, Integer: The ID of the vehicle you want to associate this object with. Most methods require this to be set. You can send it in after instantiation by using the id() method. If you don't know what the ID is, you can instantiate the object, and dump the returned hashref from a call to list().
As a last case resort, we will try to figure out the ID by ourselves. If we can't, and no ID has been set, methods that require an ID will croak().
auto_wakeOptional, Bool: If set, we will automatically wake up your vehicle on calls that require the car to be in an online state to retrieve data (via a call to wake()). If not set and the car is asleep, we will print a warning and exit. You can set this after instantiation by a call to auto_wake().
Default: False.
api_cache_timeOptional, Integer: The number of seconds to cache data returned from Tesla's API.
Default: 2
warnEnables or disables the warnings that we receive from Tesla if there's a failure to execute one of the "COMMAND METHODS".
If enabled, we print these warnings to STDOUT.
Optional, Bool: True (1) to enable, false (0) to disable the warnings.
Default: True
auto_wake($bool)
Informs this software if we should automatically wake a vehicle for calls that require it online, and the vehicle is currently offline.
Send in a true value to allow us to do this.
Default: False
warn($bool)
Enables or disables the warnings that we receive from Tesla if there's a failure to execute one of the "COMMAND METHODS".
If enabled, we print these warnings to STDOUT.
Parameters:
$boolOptional, Bool: True (1) to enable, false (0) to disable the warnings.
Default: True
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION METHODS
id($id)
Sets/gets your primary vehicle ID. If set, we will use this in all API calls that require it.
Parameters:
$idOptional, Integer: The vehicle ID you want to use in all API calls that require one. This can be set as a parameter in new(). If you attempt an API call that requires and ID and one isn't set, we croak().
If you only have a single Tesla vehicle registered under your account, we will set id() to that ID when you instantiate the object.
You can also have this auto-populated in new() by sending it in with the id => $id parameter.
If you don't know the ID of the vehicle you want to use, make a call to list(), and it will return a hash reference where each key is a vehice ID, and the value is the name you've assigned your vehicle.
name
Returns the name you associated with your vehicle under your Tesla account.
NOTE:"id($id)" must have already been set, either through the id() method, or in new().
list
Returns a hash reference of your listed vehicles. The key is the vehicle ID, and the value is the name you've assigned to that vehicle.
Example:
{
1234567891011 => "Dream machine",
1234567891012 => "Steve's Model S",
}VEHICLE SUMMARY METHODS
in_service
Returns a bool whether your vehicle is in service mode or not.
options
NOTE: The Tesla API, since 2019, has been returning wrong information about vehicle option codes, so do not trust them. For my Model X, I'm getting returned option codes for a Model 3. Several people I've spoken to about the issue see the same thing for their Model S.
Returns a hash reference of the options available on your vehicle. The key is the option code, and the value is the option description.
{
'APH3' => 'Autopilot 2.5 Hardware',
'RENA' => 'Region: North America',
'MR31' => 'Uplevel Mirrors',
'GLFR' => 'Final Assembly Fremont',
}vehicle_id
Returns an integer of Tesla's representation of the vehicle identification of your vehicle. This is not the same as the ID you use to access the API.
vin
Returns an alpha-numeric string that contains the actual Vehicle Identification Number of your vehicle. This value is located on a stamped plate on the driver's side bottom on the outside of your windshield.
LOCATION METHODS
Alongside "latitude" and "longitude", we provide a convenience method to return human readable address location data for your vehicle.
address
Takes no parameters. If the "latitude" and "longitude" information for the vehicle is available, we will return a hash reference containing the street address information of the vehicle.
The return hash reference may have additional keys depending on the specific location.
Example return:
{
'state' => 'British Columbia',
'city' => 'Kelowna',
'road' => 'Old Vernon Road',
'postcode' => 'V1X 7T8',
'village' => 'Ellison',
'country' => 'Canada',
'ISO3166-2-lvl4' => 'CA-BC',
'leisure' => 'Ellison Dog Park',
'country_code' => 'ca',
'county' => 'Regional District of Central Okanagan'
}COMMAND METHODS
All command methods return a true value (1)if the operation was successful, and a false value (0) if the command failed.
We will also print to STDOUT the reason for the failure if one occurred. This warning includes the message we received from Tesla.
You can disable these warnings from being displayed by sending in a false value to warn(), or instantiate the object with new(warn = 0)>.
Example warning:
$vehicle->media_volume_up;
# Output
Couldn't turn volume up: 'user_not_present'bioweapon_mode_toggle
Toggles the HVAC Bio Weapon mode on or off.
Returns true on success, false on failure.
climate_on
Turns the climate system on to whatever settings they last had.
Returns true on success.
Follow up with a call to is_climate_on() to verify.
climate_off
Turns the climate system off.
Returns true on success.
Follow up with a call to is_climate_on() to verify.
climate_defrost_max
Returns true if the call was successful, false otherwise.
doors_lock
Locks the car doors. Returns true on success.
Follow up with a call to locked() to verify.
doors_unlock
Unlocks the car doors. Returns true on success.
Follow up with a call to locked() to verify.
horn_honk
Honks the horn once. Returns true on success.
lights_flash
Flashes the exterior lights of the vehicle.
Returns true on success.
media_playback_toggle
Play/Pause the currently loaded audio in the vehicle.
Returns true on success, false on failure.
NOTE: Most often reason for fail is "User Not Present".
media_track_next
Skips to the next audio track.
Returns true on success, false on failure.
NOTE: Most often reason for fail is "User Not Present".
media_track_previous
Skips to the previous audio track.
Returns true on success, false on failure.
NOTE: Most often reason for fail is "User Not Present".
media_volume_down
Turns down the audio volume by one notch.
Returns true on success, false on failure.
NOTE: Most often reason for fail is "User Not Present".
media_volume_up
Turns up the audio volume by one notch.
Returns true on success, false on failure.
NOTE: Most often reason for fail is "User Not Present".
charge_limit_set($percent)
Sets the limit in percent the battery can be charged to.
Returns true if the operation was successful, and false if not.
Follow up with a call to battery_level().
trunk_rear_actuate
Opens or closes the rear trunk.
Returns true if the operation was successful, and false if not.
You must give time for the trunk to shut before checking its status with the trunk_rear() call.
trunk_front_actuate
Opens or closes the rear trunk.
Returns true if the operation was successful, and false if not.
You must give time for the trunk to shut before checking its status with the trunk_front() call.
wake
Attempt to wake the vehicle up from sleep mode. Most method calls against this object require the vehicle to be awake.
We don't return anything; the vehicle will be woken up, or it won't and your next method call will fail.
By default, this software does not wake up the car automatically, it just croaks if the car isn't awake and you attempt something it can't do while sleeping.
Set auto_wake => 1 in new() or auto_wake(1) to allow us to automatically wake the vehicle up.
AGGREGATE DATA METHODS
These methods aggregate all attributes of the vehicle that relate to a specific aspect of the vehicle. Methods that allow access to individual attributes of these larger aggregates are listed below. For example, charge_state() will return the battery_level attribute, but so will battery_level(). By using the aggregate method, you'll have to fish that attribute out yourself.
data
Returns a hash reference containing all available API data that Tesla provides for your vehicles.
croak()s if you haven't specified a vehicle ID through new() or id(), and we weren't able to figure one out automatically.
This data will be retained and re-used for a period of two (2) seconds to reduce API calls through the Tesla API. This timing can be overridden in the new() method by specifying the refresh => $seconds parameter, or by a call to the object's delay($seconds) method.
Return: Hash reference. Contains every attribute Tesla has available through their API for their vehicles.
The data accessor methods listed below use this data, simply selecting out individual parts of it.
summary
Returns an important list of information about your vehicle, and Tesla's API access.
The most important piece of information is the vehicle's state, which shows whether the car is online or not. Other information includes in_service, vin, the display_name etc.
Return: Hash reference.
state
Returns the vehicle_state section of Tesla's vehicle data. This includes things like whether the car is locked, whether there is media playing, the odometer reading, whether sentry mode is enabled or not etc.
Return: Hash reference.
charge_state
Returns information regarding battery and charging information of your vehicle.
Return: Hash reference.
climate_state
Returns information regarding the climate state of the vehicle.
Return: Hash reference.
drive_state
Returns the information about the operation of the vehicle.
Return: Hash reference.
vehicle_config
Returns attributes related to the actual configuration of your vehicle.
Return: Hash reference.
VEHICLE STATE ATTRIBUTE METHODS
dashcam
Returns a string of the state of the dashcam (eg. "Recording").
locked
Returns true if the doors are locked, false if not.
online
Returns true if the vehicle is online and ready to communicate, and false if
odometer

Returns a signed float that contains the current kWh (Kilowatt-hours) per mile the car is currently consuming in its operation.
A negative value indicates that either the car is plugged in and charging, or that the regenerative brakes are engaged and are replenishing the battery (eg. the car is going downhill and the car is decelerating).
speed
Returns a float of the vehicle's speed in MPH.
CHARGE STATE ATTRIBUTE METHODS
battery_level
Returns an integer of the percent that the battery is charged to.

charging_sites_nearby
Returns a hash reference of arrays. The keys are super_chargers and destination_chargers. Under each key is an array of charging station details, each in a hash reference. The hash references are sorted in the array as closest first, farthest last. All stations with no available stalls have been removed. Each station has the following properties:
{
total_stalls => 8,
site_closed => $VAR1->{'super_chargers'}[0]{'site_closed'},
