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, 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
Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?

Assuming that Tesla goes bankrupt, actually shuts down forever, and shuts its servers down…
At a minimum someone would have to find out where the software sends and receives data from. Then you’d have to reverse engineer the software to control the vehicles.
Then you’d have to reprogram the software to send to your C&C server. I don’t think it would really take all that much to host that… it’s getting there that’s difficult.

They are browser based, their whole UI and much of the in car backend is a JavaScript.

JavaScript
Ah, they’re that kind of evil.

Yeah it’d be a LOT of constant wireshark and reverse engineering to figure out every API it calls. Then probably something in the middle to sit on the host, need to figure out https certs since you’d be spoofing the host, and of course making sure you get the responses absolutely correct.
Not impossible, but it’s not trivial anymore either.

You’d likely need all kinds of cryptographic keys to get anywhere with that. Tesla is unlikely to ever publish those, even if they go bankrupt.

…But will it run DOOM?

Pretty sure someone would have already done it. Anything with a screen and some sort of computer behind it is low hanging fruit for doom. It’s shit like running it on a calculator using potatoes that raises the bar!
