PlaidInvoices

How PlaidInvoices handles Tesla access and invoice data

PlaidInvoices is built around Tesla’s official OAuth flow. This page explains what permissions are requested, what data is used to deliver your invoices, and how to disconnect access when you no longer need the service.

Trust details

Official Tesla OAuth

You approve access on Tesla’s own authorization screens. PlaidInvoices does not ask for your Tesla password directly.

No car control

PlaidInvoices is for invoice retrieval and finance workflows. It is not a vehicle control app and does not request broader driving or remote-command access.

Requested Tesla scopes

These are the Tesla OAuth scopes PlaidInvoices uses today. Tesla shows the exact permissions during sign-in, so you can review them before approving access.

openid

Lets Tesla identify the account during sign-in.

offline_access

Lets PlaidInvoices keep the connection alive without asking you to log in every time.

user_data

Lets PlaidInvoices read the Tesla account profile data needed to match invoices to your account.

vehicle_charging_cmds

Required by Tesla for access to charging and Supercharger invoice data. PlaidInvoices uses this for invoice retrieval, not for vehicle control.

What data PlaidInvoices stores

Limited service data

We keep the account, invoice, and subscription data needed to sync invoices, power exports, and send delivery emails.

  • Account data: your email address, account identifiers, and plan status.
  • Tesla connection data: OAuth tokens and the minimum Tesla account data needed to keep the connection working.
  • Invoice workflow data: charging invoice metadata and invoice files needed for dashboard access, CSV export, bulk download, and email delivery.
  • Operational records: logs needed for security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention.

How to disconnect

  1. Disconnect your Tesla account in PlaidInvoices when you no longer want syncing.
  2. Revoke the app from Tesla’s connected-apps controls if you want Tesla-side revocation too.
  3. Contact support if you want account or data deletion assistance.
