What can the assistant do to my car?

Only what you allow in TeslaMateApi: commands are off unless you set ENABLE_COMMANDS and allow them there. Then it can wake the car, flash the lights, honk, start or stop charging, open or close the charge port and turn the climate on or off, each after your approval. Doors, trunk and frunk, windows, remote start, sentry mode, the charge limit, the climate temperature and other commands are left out on purpose.

Does the assistant see where my car is?

By default it sees the place name TeslaMate shows, not the exact GPS position; that only comes when it asks for the full status. A drive’s GPS trail and a charge’s curve are left out.

Why do commands fail on my newer Tesla?

Newer cars take commands only through Tesla’s vehicle-command proxy, which TeslaMateApi has to be set up to use (TESLA_API_HOST). A sleeping car must also be woken first; it takes up to 30 seconds to come online.

Does Mistral Le Chat see the password or key for TeslaMate?

No. The key for TeslaMate is pasted into Flowplane once and kept sealed there. Mistral Le Chat only gets a Flowplane sign-in for you, which you can revoke in the console.

Can Mistral Le Chat change things in TeslaMate without asking?

Not by default: every change in TeslaMate waits for your approval in the browser. Your workspace’s rules decide, per tool.

Connect Mistral Le Chat to TeslaMate

Mistral Le Chat reaches TeslaMate through one Flowplane address. You add TeslaMate once in Flowplane, add that address to Mistral Le Chat, and sign in. Ask your AI assistant about your Tesla from your own TeslaMate: status, drives, charging sessions, battery health and software updates.

Add TeslaMate in Flowplane
Run TeslaMateApi next to TeslaMate, then in the Flowplane console add TeslaMate and paste TeslaMateApi’s address and API token. Behind a firewall, connect it through a tunnel.
TeslaMate is reached through TeslaMateApi, a small community service you run next to TeslaMate. You paste its address and the API_TOKEN you set for it (32 characters or more), once for the workspace. TeslaMateApi only checks the token on commands, so Flowplane cannot try it when you paste it. Flowplane keeps it sealed; the assistant never sees it.

What it can do

What Mistral Le Chat can do in TeslaMate

TeslaMate is the self-hosted logger many Tesla owners run to keep their car’s data. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can read your cars’ current status, your drives and charging sessions, battery health compared with new and the software updates installed. If you allow commands in TeslaMateApi, it can also wake the car or send a short list of commands, such as starting the climate or charging, and each waits for your approval.
