I saw this article earlier:
Tesla 'going bankrupt' is endpoint of protests, says local organizer
In the spirit of right to repair, self-hosting, giving a second life to old devices, and limiting data collection by car companies:
- What are some considerations?
- Are there any projects worth keeping an eye on?
An example that came to mind was Valetudo, which is a cloud replacement for vacuum robots enabling local-only operation. Some robot vacuums are easy to install this on, and others require more invasive modifications.
What I've found so far:
If I had a Tesla and someone smart enough to hack into I wouldn't doubt I could probably figure out how they build their dashboards and reverse engineer them, they're most likely browser based or qt or something like it. It'd be too costly to do it in anything else and Id bet many spacex dashes are the same tech. But I ain't rich enough to get one of those things so someone else has to. There's only so many ways to draw pixels on a screen in the name of profit
They are browser based, their whole UI and much of the in car backend is a JavaScript.
Ah, they're that kind of evil.
