Tesla app decompile points to Optimus home integration and data collection
A decompile of Tesla’s app suggests the company is preparing a separate BLE authentication stack for “Robots,” likely shared by Cybercab and Optimus.
- Pairing appears to use the phone as a key with a strict whitelist of authorized devices.
- If a device is not approved, the hardware is expected not to respond.
- A new consent screen appears to request video and spatial-data collection in the home while the robot operates.
- The code also references a robotalerts system for filtering internal logs and customer-facing notifications.
The poster argues Tesla is turning the app into a control and learning hub for household robots, similar to how FSD leverages fleet data.
