Hi Andrew, thank you for the post and code! This is the first time a Tesla shortcut has ever worked for me. However, my wife and I both have a Tesla on the same account and I cannot seem to control which vehicle the shortcut works on. It is always the same. When I share a destination from Gmap it goes to whatever vehicle I interacted with on the Tesla app last. Can you think of s solution? BR Dennis

@dhallager seems like there's two things going on here.

First, having the shortcut work on one particular car, you can add a &id= parameter to your query. In order to get your ID, you'll have to use the Tesla-info website: https://tesla-info.com/tesla-token.php. Follow that link, step 1 will take you to Tesla OAuth page. Once you log in successfully, it should lead you to a page not found. That's okay, copy that URL, and paste it back in the Tesla-info page in step 3. Then, you should find the IDs of each of your vehicles. Then, you can do something like:

https://tesla-info.com/api/control_v2.php?token=qts-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz&id=123456789&request=charge

Second, sharing a destination from Gmaps -- from what I've read on forums, the share action sends it to whichever car you have "in focus" for your Tesla app. Unfortunately, this means if you regularly use both cars from each phone, the only way to work around this is by going into the Tesla app first, choosing the car, and then sharing the address.

@dhallager you'll need to go into the shortcut and find the place that has

https://tesla-info.com/api/control_v2.php?refresh={token}&request={command}&value={value}

and you should update it to

https://tesla-info.com/api/control_v2.php?refresh={token}&request={command}&value={value}&id={carId}

replacing {carId} with the ID you got from the page.
