    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.
