Steps (about 2 minutes)
- Open connectors. Go to grok.com/connectors.
- Add a custom connector. Tap New Connector → Custom, paste
https://askmyev.com/mcp, name it AskMyEV and tap Add / Connect. - Sign in with Tesla. On the AskMyEV screen tap Continue with Tesla, sign in on Tesla's own page (auth.tesla.com) and tap Allow. AskMyEV never sees your Tesla password.
- Choose a plan or skip. Checkout opens: start the 30-day free trial (card required, $0 today) or skip it and use the free one-time health check.
- Ask Grok. Ask: “How's my Tesla's battery?”
You're at 78% (about 253 mi). The round trip is ~310 mi with 6,000 ft of climbing, and it's 38°F up there.
Plan one 15-minute Supercharger stop in Auburn on the way up. You'll arrive home with ~18%.
First questions to ask
- “How's my Tesla's battery health?”
- “Is my car ready for a 200-mile trip tomorrow?”
- “Any Tesla alerts this week? What do they mean?”
- “What did charging cost me last month?”
More in the AskMyEV prompt library.
Is it safe?
- Read-only. AskMyEV asks Tesla only for data scopes. It cannot unlock, start, drive, climate-control or change settings, because vehicle-command access is never requested.
- Official login. It uses Tesla's Fleet API, the approved route for third-party apps; you sign in on Tesla's page.
- No location history. Your car's location is used live to answer a question but never stored.
- Battery-friendly. It doesn't wake a sleeping car unless you ask, with a hard cap of 3 wake-ups per day.
- Revocable. Remove the connector in your AI app, and revoke AskMyEV in your Tesla account's third-party apps.

Frequently asked questions
Can Grok read my Tesla's data?
On grok.com, yes, if you add a connector like AskMyEV. It gives Grok read-only access to your car's status, history and alerts after you sign in with Tesla.

No. In-car Grok is a conversational assistant built into the car. AskMyEV connects your car data to Grok on the web, so it can answer questions about battery health, charging and alerts.
Which Grok plans work?
Custom connectors on grok.com work on any plan, including Free, at the time of writing.
