Tesla owner hacks/root Model 3 to run Ubuntu and play YouTube videos

Tesla Model 3 owner able to gain root access and install the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu on his Model 3, which runs in parallel to the existing Tesla operating system.
He retrieved the following information-
The Tesla Model 3 (and recent Mode S’s and X’s) has an Intel Atom E3950 processor (Quad core 1.6GHz), 4GB of (DDR4 I think) RAM, and a 64GB eMMC for storage. The motherboard also has a Freescale/NXP QorIQ chip that acts as the gateway, and the Autopilot hardware (NVIDIA Tegra Parker + discrete Pascal GPU) is on a separate board attached by a fairly chunky cable bundle.
