Does anyone actually get approved to use these APIs? Or is this another example of Tesla making big claims of openness without following through?

[tomschlick]

Given that this is named "Fleet API", I'd wager that its pointed at corporations that own a bunch of Teslas for employee use, or for companies looking to start a Tesla based rental car company more than anything.

It's named "Fleet API", because Tesla refers to the Teslas out there as "fleet".

I have no idea what you think your comment has to do with my question, but ok?

I think they’re predicting that most of the API usage will be “private”, so you won’t see Direct-To-Consumer “Download this on your Tesla” apps.

Instead, your rental or motor pool Tesla will just have a few customizations.

Companies probably get approved.

There are 3rd party Tesla apps (Tessie.com) that I presume are.

Just tried to sign up, got an immediate rejection.

Same- instant rejection. I wonder if they are trying to make test calls to the redirect uris / authorized origin?
