Tesla component - what are these switches?

So then its not really behaving as the “req” that I saw.

Unless you actually trigger “state”: “online” or something that indicates if the car is updating the Tesla API.
I guess the car updates the Tesla server and we ask the Tesla server and not the car itself?
So if the car is “online” then we can go ahead and do whatever we want but if state is “sleep” (I couldnt find any documentation of which states there are) then we dont poll anything.
