Fleet API

Fleet API is a data and command service providing access to Tesla vehicles and energy devices. Developers can interact with their own devices, or devices for which they have been granted access by a customer.

Examples of applications that could be built with Fleet API

Experience Fleet API with no costs for personal use

Each account receives a $10 monthly discount that will cover the cost to create useful automations for a few vehicles. For example, this can roughly cover data streaming, 100 commands, and 2 wakes per day for two vehicles.

Usage Based Pricing

The pay-per-use pricing model charges incrementally based on usage. Streaming Signals and Commands are lower cost to incentivize efficient development practices. This flexible model scales with application needs and growing businesses. Each request or signal streamed is charged at the rates below.
