There is a huge API to telsa cars:

mostly through https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/

for example:

  POST /api/1/vehicles/{id}/command/door_unlock

"Unlocks the doors to the car. Extends the handles on the S and X."

response:

  {
    "reason": "",
    "result": true
  }

details of the api people have discovered have been collected here: https://github.com/timdorr/tesla-api

Now, I personnaly wouldn't give credentials of my car out to folks, but you have to admit there is some interesting data that has come out of it.

for example, folks have discovered the details of how various tesla batteries charge:
