Tesla Motors module for Home Assistant

This is currently just a dirty mqtt script which will be converted to a proper module. Hopefully =) Borne from discussion at https://community.home-assistant.io/t/tesla-motors-api-support-for-tracking/4782/6

Usage

Clone https://github.com/gglockner/teslajson
Add your tesla credentials and mqtt credentials to tesla.py
Run tesla.py

Warning

The Tesla Motors API isn't official, as far as I know. If you spam them, they will temporarily block API (and app) access to your car. I'm running it 3 times an hour during daytime without getting locked out.
