Tesla AI Skills

A skill is a ready-made routine for your AI-connected Tesla. Instead of inventing your own prompts, you paste one phrase into Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-aware assistant, and the AI reads the skill and runs the whole routine for you: the right tools, the right order, the right questions.

How to use a skill

Copy this into your AI assistant, with the skill link of your choice:

Read this and run it: https://mytesla.io/skill-morning-departure-prep.md

That's the entire setup. The AI fetches the skill, asks you the one or two preferences it needs, and does the rest. Every skill is also a normal page you can read yourself first, so you know exactly what your AI will do before you hand it the wheel.

The skills

Morning departure prep

Your car preconditions the cabin and finishes charging in time for the moment you actually leave. One paste sets the whole routine. https://mytesla.io/skill-morning-departure-prep.md

Overnight off-peak charging

Reach the charge level you need by morning while paying your utility's cheapest rates. A savings routine, not just a timer. https://mytesla.io/skill-overnight-charging.md

Nightly security check

The "did I lock the car?" answer, from bed, in ten seconds: lock state, windows, Sentry Mode, all checked and fixed in one run. https://mytesla.io/skill-nightly-security-check.md

Cabin heat guard

Set once for the summer: the car watches its own cabin temperature and vents or cools automatically whenever it's parked. No schedule needed. https://mytesla.io/skill-cabin-heat-guard.md

Weekly Tesla digest

A short weekly report on your battery, charging, anything that looks off, and your mytesla.io credit balance. https://mytesla.io/skill-weekly-digest.md

A note on "set and forget"

Each skill says plainly whether it truly repeats on its own. Some write settings that live on the car itself (the car keeps doing the routine with no AI involved). Others are checks and reports with no vehicle-side equivalent, and today's AI assistants can't yet reliably run MCP routines on their own schedule, so you re-paste those when you want them. Every skill is honest about which kind it is.

What you need

• A Tesla that supports the Fleet API (roughly 2018 and newer Model S, 3, X, or Y)
• A mytesla.io subscription, from $4.99/month, with your car connected
• An AI assistant with MCP connector support: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and others
