I've been thinking about using one of the spare Raspberry Pi Zero W modules I have sitting here to make a cheap and cheerful little box that will wake the car up at midnight to allow charge point controlled charging to work properly, and also to do as @MidhurstNigel has done using TeslaFi to do this little job. TeslaFi seems to work OK, but it does have a lot of functionality I'm not that interested in (yet) plus it needs a subscription.
Whilst looking for ideas as to how to get just a basic way to use the Tesla API commands to work on a RPi Zero W (turns out to be surprisingly easy) I stumbled on this Github project: lephisto/tesla-apiscraper
There's also a chap that's put together a fairly rough and ready intro to using this Tesla Dashboard:
Looks to have similar functionality to TeslaFi, but is open source, and doesn't use tokens, so just requires that you keep the machine it's running on as physically and electronically secure as your key fob, key cards or 'phone, as that machine will have your log in credentials.
Not sure it's something I'm going to play with just now, but I do have a couple of RPi3 s around, and a spare monitor or two, so I may have a go at making a stand-alone box that's dedicated to just monitoring the car at some future date, This project looks to be a pretty interesting starting point for that.
