I can't even get to the place to link it - Google says that page no longer exists ( null | Google Assistant )

It is working fine on Alexa. On Google devices there is an issue - the details are on the Google specific thread: Integration with Google Home / Google Assistant - Now available for general use
I just re-linked with my Model X and it is working fine. "error communicating" usually happens when the car is asleep and the app is unable to wake before Alexa's timeout. To confirm if that could be the issue, try this: use the Tesla App perform some operation on the car. Right after that use the EV Car and see if that works.
I tried that but even though the Model X was awake it still got "error communicating". I also disabled the skill and enabled it then re-linked it, but it still got the error. When I use EV Car it connects to my Model Y and I have to switch to the Model X,
I used to have this skill enabled. Used it for 2 years. Suddenly it said account needed re-linking. And when I try, now it says "You are not eligible to enable this skill due to geographical restrictions." I'm in Hong Kong, but my Alexa account is in the UK. Any ideas? Will a VPN help? Will tricking my iPhone location services work? Will moving my amazon account to a different country work? Need a way to get around this please.

Great skill, thanks so much! Bought a couple of Amazon Echo's for this.
What does "go into hyperdrive" do?
Can we get homelink support? Might happen if app is open sourced and people contribute.

I am running home assistant linked my f150 and my model S. Works perfect and full voice control. Also means I can automate things as home assistant views the cars as sensors and switches.
I can turn on hvac Tesla or remote start my truck via Alexa or Google. I have it set to stop charge at 7am on the Tesla. I can see data on both cars.

Amazon Cloud has been experience some outages today...might better to try again tomorrow.
Regular users would have figured this out already but Tesla has changed authentication mechanism so when linking, the username and password won't currently work. You have to supply an authentication token. The token can be generated using web based tools (use a google search to find your favorite one)

What keywords do you suggest? I tried a bunch of queries and mostly came up with developer.amazon.com links that aren't helpful.

I would have searched for "Tesla Token Generator" 
This is one that has worked for me: Tesla API Token

I just used Tesla Tokens by Denouche Company. Worked great. Ran it once, then removed it from my Pixel...
Tesla has changed the way authentication works so the old workflow doesn't work anymore. As a workaround for now try using : https://eviecar.io/auth/authorization.ws . Use the Tesla Authentication link to generate Access Token and then copy and paste that into the EV Car skill linking page.
It is a cumbersome multiple copy/paste workaround but this will be better integrated into the skill itself soon.

Hello I also have two cars I'd like to control. Was hoping I could use name of car but I guess that doesn't work. When I try the "switch cars" command there is a long pause and then it says "there was an error". So essentially I can only ever get action to work with 1 car.
Is this still working? I've tried a few today and get a "401 Client Error". Any idea? Thanks!
