"- I have a bootmod3 WiFi adapter plugged into my street/track car with a combo 5G/Linux unit in the car connected to my Tailscale that streams continuous telemetry about the car whenever its turned on. I could in theory re-flash the ECU via this."

Do you have a writeup or more details you can share around this? This sounds interesting.



lol it sounds like a line from a Fast & Furious movie


That sort of stuff is pretty common. Car guys have lots of disposable income. I'm certain there are devices out there that provide levels of telemetry that was only accessible to top-end racing teams just a decade or two ago.
