Help Getting Started

[nlogozzo]

I was able to add this api to my java project however, i'm unable to figure out how to authenticate a Tesla user account with an email and password to be able to get a vehicle and start doing some commands on the vehicle. Most Tesla apis have a getting started or usage section and this one does not. Can someone provide me with example code on how to use this api?

Hi @nlogozzo

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't have notifications on for this repo 😢. This is untested, but should get you in the right direction. I'll add it to the README too.
