Waking up a sleeping Tesla
Based on discussion in the REST API thread, it appears that running VisibleTesla will keep your Model S awake. If you have version 5.0 of the Tesla software installed on your car, please don't leave VisibleTesla running constantly if you want your car to go to sleep (e.g. don't let VisibleTesla run over night).
It appears to be possible to detect that the car is asleep without waking it up (thanks to the experimenters who figured this out!). I will work on something that tries to be smart about not waking up your car accidentally. For now, those of you with version 5 should be careful not to accidentally give your car insomnia.
