Hi everyone,
I’m running into a strange issue with the Tesla Fleet integration and was hoping someone here might have seen this before.
Setup
- Using the official Tesla Fleet integration:
Tesla Fleet - Home Assistant - Home Assistant is publicly accessible over HTTPS
- Vehicle is paired using the QR code (virtual key)
I followed the documentation step by step and the integration adds successfully.
What’s working
- The integration is added without errors
- The car shows up in Home Assistant
- I can control the vehicle (lock/unlock, climate, etc.)
- Everything works fine right after pairing
The issue
After about 10-30 minutes, Tesla automatically removes the virtual key from the vehicle.
When that happens:
- Home Assistant loses control of the car
- The key disappears from Tesla
- The only way to fix it is to scan the QR code again and re-add the key
- Then the same thing happens again after some time
Question
Has anyone else experienced this?
If yes:
- Is this expected behavior?
- Is there something extra that needs to be configured to keep the key active?
- Are there any logs in Home Assistant that would be useful to check?
Any tips or ideas would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
