[QUOTE="widodh, post: 267267, member: 5895"] Why? We are just doing HTTP requests to the Tesla servers. They are just the same requests as the App would do. What is not legal about doing those HTTP requests as long as you are not hammering the servers? Maybe reverse-engineering is forbidden in the US, but is it reverse engineering? You are just looking at the HTTP traffic your phone is doing. If Tesla would sue somebody I'd be angry at them, then they are showing that they aren't different at all. Then they would be whining about nothing. I just see cool potential for customers to control their car in cool ways. Log data about the location, energy usage, etc, etc. Super cool stuff! They should even help us with this and give hints. Even better, place the API documentation online at something like "developers.teslamotors.com" [/QUOTE]
