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
  • thelittleblackbird@lemmy.worldEnglish

    Then don’t buy tesla, or force legislation about introducing such feature.

    But make yourself a favor and don’t play Russian roulette with something that you can not understandbecause there are not data available.

    And for final tip, if you really cares about that then enforce the fsf (fsf.org)
