Could you build this?
Partial Building an Android app around Tesla's Fleet API is doable, but handling sub-second real-time telemetry without vehicle wake-ups requires deep understanding of Tesla's websocket streaming architecture and fleet gateway.
What it would actually take: The app needs a persistent streaming backend or direct mobile WebSockets leveraging Tesla's Fleet Streaming / Command API with cryptographic key signing (Tesla vehicle command protocol). The hard parts are maintaining continuous streaming without pinging the vehicle's MCU (which causes phantom battery drain) and managing Tesla OAuth/Fleet developer tier costs and constraints. It requires specialized automotive API engineering and low-latency mobile streaming expertise.
