Developer application

Back to the checklist

The full form steps are in Developer application. Billing is in Payment method and billing limit.

You enter the github.io hostname so the origin matches the key host

What you type

  1. Sign in at https://developer.tesla.com with the vehicle account.
  2. Create an application with a unique English name and a description of personal use of your own car. Grant openid, offline_access, user_data, vehicle_device_data, vehicle_location, and vehicle_cmds. vehicle_location is required for a location read.
  3. Set the allowed origin to the bare hostname, such as your-username.github.io.
  4. Set the redirect to https://your-username.github.io/callback.
  5. Save the client id and client secret into ~/.config/agentdrive/client.json (or $AGENTDRIVE_HOME/client.json) with keys client_id and client_secret, mode 0600, or into mode 0600 files under ~/.config/agentdrive/secrets/ (or $AGENTDRIVE_HOME/secrets/). The command line also reads AGENTDRIVE_CLIENT_ID and AGENTDRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET. Do not paste the secret into chat. A secret can contain &; the token request is form-encoded.
  6. On the billing page, use Manage Payment and Update Limit. Tesla disables an application with no payment method, and the limit starts at 0. Usage is pay-per-use. Status codes 500 and above are not billed. The published monthly discount for individual developers is $10. Confirm the live page before you rely on that figure, and set a limit you can accept.

Expected result

The dashboard shows the application, the origin matches the public-key host, and the billing limit is above 0.
