Tesla APRS

Sends Tesla vehicle location and status to the APRS-IS.

Installation

Create a Python virtual environment

python -m venv env

Activate the virtual environment

On Linux/MacOS:

source env/bin/activate

On Windows:

.\env\Scripts\activate

Install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running

You don't need to activate the virtual environment to run the script. Use env/bin/python instead of the system Python binary.

Tesla refresh token

The script asks for a Tesla refresh token when run for the first time. You will need an application to generate a refresh token:

• Android: Tesla Tokens
• iOS: Auth App for Tesla
• Chromium/Edge: Chromium Tesla Token Generator

Login session data is stored into the file cache.json, so you don't need to enter the refresh token every time the script runs. Make sure the current working directory is set to the script's directory, so cache.json can be found by the script.

Example

Get the command line arguments using -h

Example usage:

env/bin/python teslaaprs.py -e nonoo@nonoo.hu -c HA2NON-12 -m "LOAD\"*\",8,1 ~ github.com/nonoo/tesla-aprs"

Environment variables

You can set the following environment variables to avoid passing them as command line arguments:

• TESLAAPRS_EMAIL: Tesla account email address
• TESLAAPRS_CALLSIGN: APRS callsign
• TESLAAPRS_MSG: APRS message
• TESLAAPRS_SILENT: Suppress logging
• TESLAAPRS_INTERVAL: APRS message interval in seconds
• TESLAAPRS_VEHICLE_NR: Tesla vehicle number
• TESLAAPRS_REFRESH_TOKEN: Tesla refresh token
