get_location() not updating if car is parked facing north

[itssimon]

I'm using the tesla_custom custom component in Home Assistant and have been wondering why the location of our car is often reported as away or unknown by the device_tracker entity in HA if the car is parked in our garage.

I found the culprit in this line of code:

teslajsonpy/teslajsonpy/homeassistant/gps.py

Line 51 in bd67913

if self.__longitude and self.__latitude and self.__heading:

It just so happens that our garage is facing almost perfectly north, which means that often the Tesla API will return a heading value of 0, which of course evaluates to false and makes the get_location() not update the value or return an empty dict.

Wow, nice catch and a good sign of proper boolean checking.
