Here come a bunch more gamers using Linux, as Tesla have rolled out a software update that enables Steam in Beta.
Announced on Twitter with a video to show it off, you get access to many thousands of games. This is largely thanks to all the Linux work Valve has been doing through the Steam client, graphics drivers, Proton and more. Accessing Steam has been enabled on Model S & X (2022+) and requires "Premium Connectivity". From the changelog, it mentions specifically people can play anything that is Steam Deck Verified, although it's not clear if they're blocking games that aren't from working. So, it's basically a really expensive Steam Deck with wheels now.
Valve developer Pierre-Loup Griffais also put up a Twitter post on it, showing off a nice clear picture too:

Previously, Tesla got investigated for the Passenger Play feature as the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration thought it would cause a distraction and was a safety issue. To counter it, Tesla disabled it while the vehicle is moving.
No, the car has to be a car, not a gaming pc. I prefer having less technology at the car and having more battery life.

Quotea really expensive Steam Deck with wheelsHaha! That's about the only description that would actually tempt me to buy a Tesla. And it's still a hard nope.
Quoting: SeegrasProbably too late to convince anyone to a Tesla, as people are now looking for alternatives, where the company boss hasn't gone over to the Dark Side #DarthMusk
Name a single car manufacturer CEO who genuinely cares about woke politics.
Does anyone know if everything is controlled by a single device or is there some kind of redundancy? Running arbitrary code on a device that is potentially able to kill someone seems like a weird choice.
