Rooted Tesla Model 3 running Ubuntu and YouTube (Video)
Description

From reddit user Trsohmers. The Model 3 (and recent Mode S’s and X’s) has an Intel Atom E3950 processor (Quad core 1.6GHz), 4GB of (DDR4 I think) RAM, and a 64GB eMMC for storage. The motherboard also has a Freescale/NXP QorIQ chip that acts as the gateway, and the Autopilot hardware (NVIDIA Tegra Parker + discrete Pascal GPU) is on a separate board attached by a fairly chunky cable bundle. Feel free to ask other questions. I’ll probably throw together a long form video not made after midnight after a long day of work at some point. First real milestone I want to hit first is adding some more ROMs to Tesla’s MAME system Huge amount of the work is credit of /u/Ingineerix, who spent many months finding the initial exploit that gave temporary root access (reset on reboot), while I was able to work with him to find a way to get persistence and read/write ability on the rootfs. From when I started, it took about a month total time, probably on the order of ~100 hours of direct work.
