Notes

• Tessie acts as a middleman between you and Tesla's API
• Provides richer data and analytics than raw Tesla API
• Requires Tesla account to be linked to Tessie first
• API uses VIN for commands (auto-detected)
• All temperatures in Celsius internally
• NOT YET DEPLOYED - Prepared for deployment pending user review
