Minimal Permissions
We plan to request only read-only access to battery, charging status, and location. No unlock, no start, no control.

How PlugPing Works
A simple, privacy-respecting way to help make sure your Tesla is charged and ready.
1
Connect Your Tesla Account
When PlugPing launches, you'll sign in with your Tesla account through Tesla's official sign-in. We plan to request only the minimum permissions needed:
- Vehicle data (battery level, charging state)
- Vehicle location (to check if you're home)
We do not plan to request permissions to unlock, start, or control your vehicle in any way.
2
Set Your Home Location
Tell PlugPing where home is. This saved location is used to determine whether to send a reminder—PlugPing is designed to only notify you when your car is at home and not plugged in.
3
Check Your Status
Use scheduled reminders (e.g., each evening) to get automatic checks, or open PlugPing anytime to check on-demand. Either way, you'll see:
- Your current battery percentage
- Whether your Tesla is plugged in and charging
- Whether your Tesla is at your saved home location
4
Get Reminded
If your Tesla is home and not plugged in, PlugPing lets you know. No more waking up to a low battery because you forgot to plug in the night before.
Privacy by Design
We built PlugPing with your privacy in mind from day one.
Server-Side Storage
Your Tesla authentication tokens are planned to be stored server-side, not in the app on your device.
Occasional Checks Only
PlugPing is designed to check your vehicle only at specific times—scheduled reminders or on-demand requests—not continuously.
Reminder Modes Planned
Choose how PlugPing alerts you when your Tesla isn't plugged in.
Notification
Standard phone notification.
Alarm
Alarm-style reminder for when you really don't want to miss it. Note: PlugPing cannot guarantee alarms will override silent mode or Do Not Disturb—behavior depends on your phone's OS and settings.
Smart Mode
Notifications during the day and alarm-style reminders at night. Note: PlugPing cannot guarantee alarms will override silent mode or Do Not Disturb.
Silent
No audible reminder.
Scheduled Reminders Planned
Set it and forget it—PlugPing checks automatically.
Automatic Checks
Schedule PlugPing to check your vehicle at a time you choose—for example, every evening at 10 PM. If your Tesla is home and not plugged in, you'll be reminded using your selected mode.
On-Demand Checks
Open the app anytime to check your Tesla's status manually. See battery level, charging state, and whether your car is at home.
