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
