## Vehicle data polling interval
The integration is configured to {% term polling poll %} each vehicle every 10 minutes while it's awake.
This is long enough that a single vehicle can be polled 24/7 without exceeding the USD$10 credit Tesla provides.
It is expected that most vehicles are asleep over 50% of the day, so the defaults should also suit users with multiple vehicles or that want to run automated commands.
If the default polling interval does not suit your needs, you can [define a custom polling interval](https://www.home-assistant.io/common-tasks/general/#defining-a-custom-polling-interval).
## Scopes
When connecting your Tesla account to Home Assistant, you **must** select at least one of the `Vehicle Information` or `Energy Product Information` scopes. It is recommended you select all scopes for full functionality. The `Vehicle Location` scope was added in Home Assistant 2024.1, so any authorizations performed on previous releases that want this scope will need to be [modified](https://accounts.tesla.com/en_au/account-settings/security?tab=tpty-apps).
