Setup / Configuration

Setup is documented in SETUP.md:

• -[SETUP.md](SETUP.md)

State directory: {workspace}/tesla-fleet-api/

• -config.json (provider creds + non-token config)

Troubleshooting

"vehicle unavailable: vehicle is offline or asleep"

Wake the vehicle first:

"command not signed" / "vehicle rejected"

Ensure the signing proxy is running and configured. See [SETUP.md](SETUP.md) § Proxy Setup.
