Or streamed directly to your device, only relayed through Tesla’s servers if necessary. This wouldn’t need much bandwidth as most connections could be directly peer-to-peer.
You know, I am just thinking of something like Tailscale or WebRTC. Though this would need a 24/7 connected app, so probably not the best solution.
Though if it were used just for the video streams that would likely help a lot too.
Or maybe release some server software that you could self-host and set up the custom one in the car. That would also have the advantage of being independent and future-proof.
Would probably be OK to include in the car costs. You know, like smartphone updates. You don’t pay a monthly fee for those either.
Edit: As for car’s connectivity, it could just have a modem with user-replaceable SIM card and/or eSIM. If the current ones can’t do that, add drivers for some USB modems and USB Ethernet adapters.
I think it records to USB for free, TFCC (that freaking car company) servers get hit when streaming security feeds from car to mobile so I would expect them to charge forever
Also, brand stained forever, unless maybe maybe it sells to a hero and time passes
Edit:
Oh right, it’s prob all about the fact they have to pay someone for a cellular connection for the vehicle, so you’re also buying live traffic, streaming music, etc.
LMFAO, Tesla is the biggest con. Imagine paying monthly for something built into your car that could be recorded to local storage. 🤣🤣🤣
