I have been looking for a free and efficient way to trigger iOS shortcut actions for a while. All the articles I had previously seen looked to use paid for apps. These apps appear to be overpriced and not particularly well written.

I eventually stumbled on a Gitlab project where a direct set of iOS shortcuts are maintained. The link to the project is here: Projects · rummens / tesla_ios_shortcuts · GitLab

The trick is to navigate to the web page on your mobile device and then click on "Download Latest Tesla Shortcuts" in the Read Me section.

You generate a Tesla token which expires every 45 days, however the shortcut auto creates a reminder for you to renew it.

Once I got that working I paired it with NFC tags to trigger either the Charge Port of Frunk opening. From my testing the NFA213 tags are the ones to use. I tried the smaller 25mm ones and 45mm ones, the 45mm gave the best results due to the larger antenna. I bought mine from Amazon, here:

All seems to work very well.
