Given the state of the Twitter API post-Elon, I'd be incredibly unlikely to rely on this unless I have a business contract directly with Tesla with appropriate penalties if my app / access were to be revoked.
There's probably 10,000s of devs who think otherwise, tho.
If you are wondering about the state of auto API's here's a partial list of loads of makes and models that have some form of over the air endpoints via a 3rd party: https://connectyourcar.com/compatibility/makes/

That said, I think the security implications are fairly important, since I expect one of the exposed features is to be able to unlock or start the car.
I'm calling for Tesla to open source all the code running onboard it's vehicles. Consumers have the right to understand how their machines work. Elon, you built an empire off the backs of open source developers. Give back.
Are they in compliance with the GPL now?

Elon is not against open sourcing more code: https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/25/elon-musk-says-tesla-might... > Consumers have the right to understand how their machines work Windows and macOS aren't open source either and the vast majority of consumers don't care. It would be cool to be able to install an open source third party OS on your car though...

Tesla Engineering has their shit together, Elon is very detached from their work. Comparing Tesla to Twitter is not reasonable

My own anecdotal contribution, based off the constant bickering of people I know who work for engineering firms that have Tesla as a client, is that they do not have any of their shit organized in a manner which could be remotely described as "together".
After being harried to hurry up and build something exactly to the 34th revision of their ever-changing specs (the inside of the electrical panel was powder-coated the wrong manufacturer-original color and therefore unacceptable, and on and on...) and warned about the severe penalties for late delivery and downtime, we got it all finished only to find that they weren't actually ready for it yet. The production floor where it was supposed to go has no room, they haven't gotten permits to even start to pour concrete where it's going to go later...
The one good thing I can say is that at least they paid on time, even though they didn't take delivery yet - better than a lot of "net 30...months" OEMs out there.
