[Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? (lemmy.ca)

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:

FreedomEV, a project that was presented at FOSSDEM 2019 but doesn't have recent activity
TeslaMate, which is a popular and active selfhosted data logger for Teslas, but not necessarily a replacement for the software

Not that you aren't entitled to your opinion, but software running on a Tesla is, in many ways just as mallaible as code on a vacuum robot.

There are several challenges, but basically the protections stopping people from reading and writing firmware would need to be defeated.

I think there have been some software jailbreaks on earlier models already that have been patched, but software is complicated, it's hard be bug free.
