Generate V3 Refresh Token for API Authentication using Python

Tesla OAuth Token Generation

A script to interact with the recent OAuth2 changes from Tesla and the new /oauth2/ endpoint.

PREREQUISITES:​

• Python 3.x (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
• ChromeDriver (http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html) (select the version that matches your Chrome version)
• auth.tokens.py (https://github.com/RealCarvedArt/tesla-oauth2/blob/main/TeslaTokenV3.py)
• requirements.txt (https://github.com/enode-engineering/tesla-oauth2) -OR- create a text file named “requirements.txt” and add the following two lines:

Code:

requests==2.24.0
selenium==3.141.0

STEPS:​

1. Download the prerequisites
2. Create a project folder to store your files; e.g., “C:\Users\Username\Desktop\TeslaTokens”
3. Place: ChromeDriver, auth.tokens.py, and requirements.txt in “C:\Users\Username\Desktop\TeslaTokens”
4. Install Python FOR ALL USERS and add to PATH (If you need help installing Python there are plenty of great videos out there explaining the process for each system)
5. Launch a command window/terminal (e.g., PowerShell, Command Prompt, Terminal, etc.)
6. Type:

Code:

CD /d C:\Users\Username\Desktop\TeslaTokens

• Press: ENTER
• Type:

Code:

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Press: ENTER

• At this point everything should be installed, configured and ready to go Then enter one of the below strings at the command prompt and hit ENTER:

• If your Tesla account has MFA enabled:

Code:

python3 ./TeslaTokenV3.py -u 'email' -p 'password' -c 'passcode'

• If your Tesla account does not have MFA enabled:

Code:

python3 ./TeslaTokenV3.py -u 'email' -p 'password'

-u = Tesla account email

-p = Tesla account password

-c = Passcode generated by your authenticator app

• MFA example:

Code:

python3 ./TeslaTokenV3.py -u myTeslaEmail@someDomain.com -p someSuperSecurePassword -c 123456

• Non-MFA example:

Code:

python3 ./TeslaTokenV3.py -u myTeslaEmail@someDomain.com -p someSuperSecurePassword

TIPS:​

If python3 does not work try using just python To check your Python install you can type:

Code:

python --version

>python3 ./TeslaTokenV3.py -h
usage: TeslaTokenV3.py [-h] -u EMAIL -p PASSWORD [-v] [-c CODE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -u EMAIL, --email EMAIL
                        • Tesla account email
  -p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
                        • Tesla account password
  -v, --verbose         • Verbose output
  -c CODE, --code CODE  • Passcode generated by your authenticator app
