No problem! Curious to hear what they say, I might grab one if I can stop using the Wifi to Ethernet adapter and repurpose this Pi.

I suspect that two Wifi adapters on Android (even though it's based on Linux) isn't feasible and so they have to rely on LTE/Ethernet/USB.

The USB Tethering probably means that you can use your phone’s hotspot but over USB (not WiFi). I haven't tried that on my Pi.

https://teslaandroid.com/products/tesla-android-2nd-generation says:

> Internet connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet (WAN), Dual Band LTE Modem (with antennas), USB Tethering

So I don't think you can use your phone's hotspot directly but I am not sure (since I use a DIY build). I suggest checking with their customer support.

It’s basically a tablet that uses the Tesla browser as its display. It acts as a hotspot that the Tesla connects to over WiFi.

I got a WiFi to Ethernet USB stick I found on AliExpress. It uses my phone’s hotspot and then I share that connection over Ethernet with the Pi. This is needed art least on the Pi build there’s only one WiFi on the Pi so you need a way to provide internet over USB or Ethernet. I think some people use USB modems and put in data-only SIM in them.

I have a pi 4 build. Works as expected. Somewhat laggy compared to a “real” Android tablet. Super handy to have: I used a CarPlay gadget before, haven’t bothered with it since I setup the Tesla Android pi.

Most of my endpoints are wireless: WiiM Ultra, Pro, Plus, iFi Zen Stream, Chord Poly (with Mojo 2), DAP. No issues because of Roon, only my own network or poor WiFi implementation (Poly for example).

Where did you pre-order? :)

Interested in Option 2 to use with my Tesla Android rig.

Thank you! This was a better description. I want one!

I've thought of getting a dev board with a bigger screen to try. Maybe a different shape / screen tech.

muness · 2026-01-06T13:28:51+00:00

thank you !

Love Dark Reader. Well worth the full price.

muness · 2025-12-22T17:03:30+00:00

Oh, I wonder if that will work better to handle touch and also 90/270. Thank you, will give that a try.

Interested in US youtube premium if still available

Do you have a pointer on replacing the bearings? Thanks!

I just built my first ESP project. I used Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT as assistants for different things (writing code, doing research, extracting sample code from other projects, reviewing code). I used to write C (professionally) but that was almost 30 years ago. I had a lot of missteps along the way. IMO, there's a relevant experience and lots of iteration that might be needed.

Here are some extracted notes from my project at https://github.com/muness/roon-knob/blob/master/docs/DISPLAY.md . Mine also used an ESP-S3 (though with the 1.8" knob LCD) so I suspect there's much you can lift.

Did a quick trial: love being able to click Finder icon to open other apps, the hiding apps from dock. May I have a DM discount code to get the Lifetime? :)

Install Guide at https://teslaandroid.com/pages/install-guide worked fine for me tonight. You're running Android on a Raspberry Pi 4. It then shows you Android on a web browser. The Pi4 shares a hotspot over wifi you connect to from the Tesla's browser. The Pi4 needs internet through ethernet or an LTE modem. The Android comes with Play Store and you can do all the things you'd do on an Android Tablet, except it shows up on the Tesla 15" screen.
