Access to the driver profile currently in use

Not related to a problem

Describe the solution you'd like
To be able to obtain the name of the currently active driver profile. For my car, it could be "Pat" or "Mollie" or "Debbi" or "Guest"

Describe alternatives you've considered
Have considered looking to Tessie API or directly to Tesla, but this seemed to be the best first option.

Additional context
I'm unsure why this isn't already a feature, but have tried to imagine why it might be this way by design. Perhaps someone thinks this is a privacy issue? Considering that it's my car, and that the only data I'm looking to gather is which profile is in use, it is difficult to imagine why this would be of any concern. And I suppose someone might think "Why would anyone even want it?" To that I'd point out that Tessie can provide the "now_playing_artist" field (among other media info data), and the current driver profile feels as relevant, so, why not?

The problem is the Tesla API that is currently being used is unofficial and not documented by Tesla. What has been documented has been done by others reverse engineering the API the Tesla app uses. If you know where/how (or even if it is available to the API) to get hold of this data I'm sure it could be added.

@skipishere isn’t the API now officially documented?

Edit…

As I said, this currently uses the unofficial API that isn't documented. There is an issue raised about moving to the official API now that it exists but it's not nice and simple to swap over to, see issue #743

Also this was previously requested. The unofficial API didn't seem to have the appropriate data to show the driver. #221

I'll leave this open for a little in case someone has more info or can figure it out.
