Looks like they're using the SmartCar API (https://smartcar.com/tesla/). The app does most of the actions the API provides, but maybe the bot can help with aggregating data like previous locations or odometer readings?

Wow, SmartCar's pricing is insane. They have a free tier and that's nice, but a paid plan with support starts at $0.15 per request. And all this thing does is lock/unlock, location, odometer and vehicle info. Why would anyone use this?
