Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Most entity-ids have prefixes to identify them easily, but the entities from the Tesla integration don't. When I want to use the battery percentage in an automation, the Entity-Id for my Pixel Watch is sensor.google_pixel_watch_battery_level while for my Tesla it's sensor.battery

For example, this is how it looks when I have the battery percentage of my Tesla and my Pixel Watch in Grafana: image This makes the Tesla entities hard to identify.

Describe the solution you'd like Prefix the entities, for example tesla_battery or <VIN>_battery

Describe alternatives you've considered Live with it
