Amazon uploads

[dodici]

My router shows my model y uploading a lot of data to Amazon. Does anyone know why that would happen?

It's likely AWS
Amazon Web Services

Yea, the Tesla control plane lives in AWS. They use NLB and ELB quite a bit for a service called Hermes, and the car will upload data to S3 fairly regularly (likely when they task the fleet with data collection). There's a Go (lang) service in the car that makes a .tar of images, videos, and CAN bus data, and uploads it to S3. Updates are distributed by Akamai, and maps are hosted by Fastly.

Anytime you complete a trip with Autopilot engaged it uploads a lot of data after you get back home and on wifi. I'm assuming it's video from the cameras to help train the AI. My Model Y has uploaded 23 GB in the last month and downloaded only 2.1 GB.

Thanks for all of the info. It all makes sense now.
