# AskMyEV

> Your Tesla's data analyst, inside the AI you already use: ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Cursor. AskMyEV is an AI connector (MCP server) for Tesla vehicles: battery health, range, charging costs, tire pressures and alerts explained, in plain English.

## Key facts
- Positioning: AskMyEV is your Tesla's data analyst inside the AI you already use (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Cursor). Answers come from the owner's actual car.
- AskMyEV is a connector (remote MCP server) that gives ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Cursor access to a Tesla vehicle through Tesla's official Fleet API: live data, history on paid plans, and optional car controls.
- Connector URL: https://askmyev.com/mcp (OAuth; sign in with Tesla via Tesla's official Fleet API; AskMyEV never sees the Tesla password).
- Supports Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X and Cybertruck on the owner's Tesla account.
- Just a connector. Reads car data by default. Location, car controls (climate, charging, locks, trunk, frunk) and remote start are off until the owner opts in once, during setup or on the AskMyEV Account page (risk text, checkbox, fresh sign-in). Then each command is one tool call with no code or second confirmation from AskMyEV. Daily limits are per account, shared across all cars: 20 live checks, 1 wake-up, 20 commands (10 an hour; 6 unlocks, 6 trunk or frunk, 3 remote starts at least 15 minutes apart), 10 location lookups, 2,000 AI requests (Fleet: 40 live checks, 3 wake-ups, 50 commands, 25 location lookups); past a limit it answers from saved data. AskMyEV may pause only the affected feature if activity looks unusual. Frunk cannot be closed remotely; rear trunk close needs a power liftgate. Remote start lets the car be driven without the key for about 2 minutes.
- Predictive maintenance, honestly: on paid plans AskMyEV keeps the owner's own car history of Tesla alerts and data, so the AI can flag a repeating alert or a drifting reading early and suggest booking service. It uses only that car's own history, does not compare against other cars, and cannot guarantee a prediction.
- History: live streaming via Tesla Fleet Telemetry for paired cars on 2024.26+ firmware on paid plans; otherwise a snapshot up to about 4 times a day when the car is already awake (never woken for it). No location history.
- Private by default: location is OFF unless the owner turns it on in Account; when on, location is fetched live on request and the coordinates are not saved (a log of lookup times is kept 1 year). Does not wake a sleeping car unless asked; max 1 wake-up per day per account (3 on Fleet).
- Tools: list_vehicles, get_vehicle_status, run_health_check, diagnose_alerts, get_alert_history, battery_trend, tire_pressure_trend, get_charging_sessions, get_history, get_watch_events, export_history_csv, get_account, delete_my_history, get_privacy_settings, set_privacy, get_vehicle_location (opt-in), get_referral_link; when Controls are on: get_controls_status, set_controls, car_command, sensitive_command.
- Pricing (USD): Standard $39/year (about $3.25/month, about 35% less than monthly) or $4.99/month for up to 3 cars; Fleet $89/year (about $7.42/month) or $9.99/month for up to 10 cars. Prepaid cards and disposable email addresses can't be used for the free trial. New customers start with a 30-day free trial (card required, $0 today; the trial starts when the owner connects their Tesla), one free trial per customer (matched by Tesla account, VIN, email and card; repeat customers are billed from day one and asked to confirm first). Signup order: start free trial at askmyev.com/start (email code, card), then connect Tesla, then connect the AI app. Standard ($4.99/mo or $39/yr) covers up to 3 cars on the owner's Tesla account; Fleet ($9.99/mo or $89/yr) covers up to 10.
- Guarantee: the first month is free and you can cancel anytime. If AskMyEV charges you by mistake, or it didn't work because of a problem on AskMyEV's side, email support@askmyev.com within 30 days of the charge for a refund. Outages on Tesla's side or in the AI app aren't covered.
- Referrals: the subscriber gets one free month of account credit for every friend who signs up through their link and pays (max 12/year, no cash). The friend gets the same 30-day free trial as everyone.
- Creators: affiliate program at https://askmyev.com/affiliates/ (20% of paid invoices for 12 months; creator audiences get the standard 30-day trial).
- AI agents: self-serve affiliate program for AI agents acting for their owners at https://askmyev.com/agents/ (machine-readable terms: https://askmyev.com/agents.json; signup API POST https://askmyev.com/api/affiliates/signup). 20% of cleared paid invoices for 12 months; affiliate disclosure required on every use; no spam or unsolicited posting; no self-referrals; manual payouts after human approval.
- Tesla shares named vehicle alerts via the Fleet API, not raw diagnostic trouble codes. AskMyEV links Tesla's public Service Manual (service.tesla.com) for the model; high-voltage work is for professionals.
- Independent; not affiliated with Tesla, OpenAI, Anthropic or xAI. Support: support@askmyev.com
