teslausb VS composite-joystick

On the TeslaUSB page, it lists the following Raspberry Pi's as options:

Main difference between the two scenarios, however, is that the 3 was left in a parking garage, while the Y was left in an open field. With the 3 in a parking garage, I don't think the vehicle went over 100 degrees, while the Y, being left in an open field, would sometimes hit about 150 degrees. Because the temperatures were more reasonable in the parking garage, I also left my Raspberry Pi running TeslaUSB in the car, where as with the Y being left in an open field and being subject to extreme thermal temperatures, I opted to use a regular USB thumb drive there.

I've found that using something like TeslaUSB reduces the "blip" quite a bit.

This has had issues since the newer 2021 Intel-based model 3s (and I presume others). https://github.com/marcone/teslausb/issues/564

If you have a Raspberry Pi 0 or 4 you can do a TeslaUSB which let's yoy access the footage over a WiFi gotspot on the thing and a better WebUI.

If you've driven more than an hour since the incident, the footage will be gone (unless you're using TeslaUSB, but I'm guessing not)

I use this for my Teslas Dashcam (it was built for it), but it also has a feature to rsync music files from a network share every time it connects to the network. Sounds like it would cover what you want, and it supports RPI Zero Ws natively.

I've done this, it's super useful. The use case for me was that I wanted to simultaneously use two joysticks with the same game, mixing their inputs together instead of just using one or the other for each axis. The behavior only ended up being possible by writing a "joystick mux" program that would accept input from multiple joysticks and then retransmit it as a gadget-mode device.

Side note, USB HID descriptors are a disaster and someone should do something about it. Even commercial devices by reputable manufacturers have broken descriptors. A tool with modern ergo and integration would probably get a surprising amount of traction.
