What This Skill Does

The Tessie skill for OpenClaw provides a powerful, seamless interface to control your Tesla vehicle ecosystem directly from your AI agent. By connecting to the Tessie API—a premier platform for Tesla management—the skill acts as a command center for your electric vehicle. It bridges the gap between your natural language requests and the complex Tesla hardware, allowing for intuitive remote control over climate, charging status, vehicle security, and detailed trip analytics. Whether you are checking your battery percentage, initiating a preheat cycle before a commute, or reviewing your driving history, this skill translates human intent into precise API operations.

Installation

To integrate Tessie into your environment, follow these steps:

  1. Obtain an API key from https://tessie.com/developers.
  2. Add the configuration to your Clawdbot settings under the skills key, providing the apiKey directly.
  3. Alternatively, secure your credentials using the TESSIE_API_KEY environment variable for enhanced security.
  4. Execute the installation command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/baanish/tessie.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for automating routine car management tasks. Use it to ensure your car is ready for departure by setting the climate and charging limit while you are still inside your home. It is also an essential tool for data enthusiasts who want to track driving efficiency or review past trips. By using the voice or chat interface, you can perform safety checks like confirming if your vehicle is locked or locating your car in a crowded parking lot, all without opening a dedicated smartphone app.

Example Prompts

  1. "Tessie, please turn on the climate and set it to 70 degrees so the car is ready for my drive."
  2. "Check my battery level and tell me if I have enough range to get to the airport."
  3. "Is my car locked right now, and where exactly is it parked?"

Tips & Limitations

  • The skill requires a valid Tessie subscription as it relies on their backend infrastructure.
  • While the tool auto-detects your VIN and vehicle ID, ensure your car has a stable cellular connection for timely command execution.
  • Commands are asynchronous; some actions like waking the car from sleep mode may take a few seconds longer than instantaneous requests.
  • Always use the most recent command list from the official Tessie developer documentation for advanced, niche vehicle operations.
