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.

a repeater magnet mounted to the roof.
What’s a repeater magnet?
Replying to @corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca
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.

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.

It’s an electric truck. You don’t need remote start.
I presume you mean remote climate control.
Replying to @blitzen@lemmy.ca
Yes but Kleenex and Google. Its a generic term for turning your car on away from the “start” “ignition” button.

Sort of like the gas pedal in my leaf.
Replying to @CADmonkey@lemmy.world
Wait. You don’t have to press a button to turn it on? That would take a bit of getting used to
Replying to @captainlezbian@lemmy.world
No, i was giving an example of something that is called by an outdated term.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.
