You Can Now Directly Read Data Logs From Tesla Vehicles (Jalopnik)

The Jalopnik automotive site has posted an
article on a
(relatively) new set
of open-source tools that can extract log data from Tesla cars.

Since Tesla cars run a Debian-based operating system, navigating
through their file systems is somewhat trivial to anyone who’s
spent a weekend messing with virtual Linux machines (or watching
Mr. Robot). Actually accessing the car’s memory, however, is
considerably harder: all cases require at least partially
disassembling the dashboard, and some even require disassembly of
the car’s media control unit.

Once that’s done, however, the data trove is incredible.
