The juxtaposition of Claude+Ghidra being able to take apart understand and reimplement the core features of this thing in hours while also having to babysit it "no, those encrypted packets going over the CAN bus aren't from wifi" and "please actually look at the code you just decompiled instead of guessing how they work" was pretty amusing.
