    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.

        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.

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

          a repeater magnet mounted to the roof.

          What’s a repeater magnet?

            Meshcore uses a Repeater & Companion Node setup where as Meshtastic is more peer to peer.

            Here’s a quick video showing the concept I had in my head.

            The magnet is the antenna mount type, but I personally would use one of the roof rack screw points, to act as structure and a ground plane connection.
