Tesla Model Y vehicle data API: signals, model years and connection options

DIMO gives developers API access to Tesla Model Y vehicle data. Model years 2020 and newer connect through the OEM cloud (Tesla). Headline signals include odometer, current charge level and vehicle speed.

DIMO provides a Tesla Model Y vehicle data API for 2020 and newer model years, delivered through Tesla's OEM cloud connection. This coverage is tested, not just expected, and includes odometer, charge level, remaining range, tire pressure and charging signals for this EV. Once the owner shares the vehicle, you query the data with a Vehicle JWT through the Telemetry API's GraphQL endpoint.

Build it

Query the latest Tesla Model Y signals with the DIMO TypeScript SDK. The vehicle owner must first share access with your app through DIMO Connect.

import { DIMO } from '@dimo-network/data-sdk';

const dimo = new DIMO('Production');
const tokenId = Number(process.env.DIMO_TOKEN_ID); // from DIMO Connect

const developerJwt = await dimo.auth.getDeveloperJwt({
  client_id: process.env.DIMO_CLIENT_ID,
  domain: process.env.DIMO_REDIRECT_URI,
  private_key: process.env.DIMO_API_KEY,
});
const vehicleJwt = await dimo.tokenexchange.getVehicleJwt({
  ...developerJwt,
  tokenId,
});

// Latest Tesla Model Y signals
const data = await dimo.telemetry.query({
  ...vehicleJwt,
  query: `
    query {
      signalsLatest(tokenId: ${tokenId}) {
      powertrainTransmissionTravelledDistance {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      powertrainTractionBatteryStateOfChargeCurrent {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      speed {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      }
    }`,
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
