The parking-garage problem
Everyone’s done it — walked out of a mall or airport and blanked on which level, which row. The Tesla app can show the car on a map, but only after you unlock your phone, open the app, and wait for the car to wake. Asking is faster.
How AI locates your car
Connected through mytesla.io, your assistant can read the car’s live location from Tesla’s Fleet API and tell you where it is in plain language — and on a map if your client supports it. Ask "Where’s my car?" and you get an answer in seconds.
Flash, honk, and confirm
Location gets you close; these get you to the car. "Flash the lights" and "honk the horn" make it stand out across a dark garage. You can also confirm it’s secure in the same breath: "Is it locked? Did I leave any windows down?" — and lock it remotely if not.
A note on location privacy
mytesla.io reads your car’s location only when you ask, and doesn’t store location history — live data is fetched per request and not retained. Access runs through Tesla’s official authorization, which you can revoke anytime from your Tesla Account.
How to set it up
Connect your assistant to your Tesla with mytesla.io and ask away. Full setup on Control your Tesla with AI; assistant guides for Claude and ChatGPT.
Never lose your car in a garage again
Ask where it is, flash the lights to spot it, and confirm it’s locked — all from your AI assistant.
Frequently asked questions
Can it show the car on a map?
It reports the live location and, in clients that render maps, can show it. At minimum you get a clear plain-language location and can flash the lights or honk to pinpoint it.
Is my location history stored?
No. Location is fetched live per request; mytesla.io doesn’t retain location, drive, or charge history.
