Slate Auto: "Cloud? Oh, you mean that completely optional telematics thingy that's intended more for business fleets! Yeah, that's excluded by default on our vehicle."

    I preordered one. I think I might see how to use meshtastic to add remote start. Should be able to have bidirectional status and huge range.

    You have my attention... but with Meshcore and a repeater magnet mounted to the roof.

    It's an electric truck. You don't need remote start.

    I presume you mean remote climate control.

    Yes but Kleenex and Google. Its a generic term for turning your car on away from the "start" "ignition" button.

    Wait. You don't have to press a button to turn it on? That would take a bit of getting used to

    No, i was giving an example of something that is called by an outdated term. A Leaf is an EV, but I still call the accelerator the "gas pedal". (Its not even the gas pedal on a modern combustion engine car, its the air pedal)

    The car has a button you push to turn it on like a normal car with a pushbutton start.
