I'm perhaps being a bit old school, but you could work out speed from the roadside markers on the video feed Distance information (at the bottom of the page). or similarly from any other standardised road markings such as the squares used for aircraft speed tracking, or even the lines on the road for speed cameras to prove that you weren't going above the speed limit.
The car definitely has all the data. If you look at any of the crash videos that GreentheOnly posts, you can see the constant readout of speed, wheel position, brakes, etc. that are stored.
Teslafi only seems to record snapshots at an interval of around 20 seconds. I was driving on NoA with a set speed of 80 on Sunday night and a car came right up on my bumper as I was passing a car going a few mph less than me. I punched the accelerator to clear the lane and the car hit 95 mph instantly and NoA yelled at me for exceeding 90 on Autopilot. I got the no-AP for you for the rest of the trip message. Looking through the Teslafi logs, it completely missed the incident because it happened somewhere between the 20 second snapshots.

if you want real time continuous logging you would probably need an OBDII based system something based on API calls is never going to be suitable unless the car logs it then lets you download via api
There's a world of difference between driving like a lot of people do and goading somebody into braking the law. I wouldn't say driving too close behind was entrapment in any form. It's a long way from driving an unmarked police car, pulling up alongside you at traffic lights and saying fancy a race. Its akin to the police dressing up and looking like a prostitute which is fine, but them leaning into you car and offering you a trick isn't. Entrapment per se is also not a defence (R v Sang (1980)). Not sure why you feel the need to make the point unless you just don't like the boys in blue.
I covered that entrapment isn't a defence as it's a criminal law violation, not a traffic law violation
I was replying to your point about the cops looking for people "who are easily provoked".

If you send the file to greentheonly on twitter, he can extract the video with all the data present. Loads of people send him their files to dissect.

Depending on local rules of evidence you could have an admissibility issue, chain of custody and such. Imho

I few at Millfield years ago - before the massive redevelopment of the clubhouse etc. I had a very enjoyable few hours ridge soaring and even got a bit of wave. My syndicate partner did his 5 hours on the same day.
Here's a piccy of my car + glider BTW - with a rainbow as a bonus:

The brake lights only come on when the deceleration hits at least 0.7m/s (and maybe as high as 1.3m/s). It's defined a part of the UNECE regs:

If by "let off the accelerator" you mean completely removing pressure from the pedal then maybe. The idea is that you don't do this unless you really want that level of deceleration ... you just ease off the pressure. There's no reason for any more brake light activity than driving any other car no matter what level of regen. If regen was just an on/off switch it would be different but that's not how it is.
