Use Range & Road in ChatGPT or Claude

Ask your AI assistant about owning a Tesla in Texas and get answers from our guides, city facts and directory, with links back to the pages.

Connector address: https://vikasauto.com/mcp
Free, read-only, no account or sign-in. Independent; not affiliated with Tesla, OpenAI or Anthropic.

What your assistant can look up

  • Guides and city pages: home charging, permits, Texas EV fees, buying used, service, weather, models.
  • City facts for Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio (utility, tolls, emissions tests, charger permits), each with its official source.
  • Independent shops from our directory, by city, category or suburb.
  • Tesla news headlines from Tesla news sites, with links to the publishers.
  • NHTSA recalls for a model year, marked as a software update or a service visit.

Claude

  1. In Claude (web or desktop app), open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Choose Add custom connector, name it Range & Road and paste https://vikasauto.com/mcp.
  3. In a new chat, make sure the connector is switched on (the tools menu), then ask away.

Custom connectors depend on your Claude plan; Claude's help pages list what each plan includes.

ChatGPT

Until Range & Road appears in ChatGPT's directory, adding it uses ChatGPT's developer mode, which is meant for testing:

  1. Open Settings → Apps → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Create an app or connector, name it Range & Road, paste https://vikasauto.com/mcp and choose no authentication.
  3. In a new chat, add Range & Road from the tools menu and ask your question.

Menu names change from time to time; OpenAI's help pages have the current steps.

Things to ask

  • “Do I need a permit to install a Wall Connector in Katy?”
  • “Find a PPF shop in Austin that does Teslas.”
  • “What recalls does a 2021 Model 3 have, and which need a service visit?”
  • “I just got my Model Y in San Antonio. What should I do this week?”

Privacy

Your assistant sends us only what it needs to look something up. We don't receive your name, account or conversation, and we keep only a daily request count. See our privacy policy and terms. AI assistants can make mistakes; check the linked page and official sources before you act.
