Tesla Model 3 hack puts YouTube and Ubuntu on the dash
While Tesla – like every automaker – is happy to talk about performance figures and range of its EVs, it’s typically less vocal about the components it’s using. As the focus on in-car infotainment systems has increased over the past few years, however, more and more car buyers are asking questions about the capabilities (and upgrade potential) of their dashboard systems. Still, few automakers are discussing specifics yet.
That didn’t stop one Model 3 owner, and member of the Tesla Reddit forum, from going digging. He managed to SSH into the infotainment system and get Ubuntu running. That meant he could access YouTube – something the stock Tesla browser doesn’t permit, for safety reasons – as well as get a read-out of the hardware specifications.
