## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3179, "days_push": 775, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, no_license
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## Adoption (not part of the score)
Stars 1472, forks 310 (observed 2026-08-28T04:04:49.395971+00:00)

## What it is
Tesla's fork of the Linux kernel source tree, containing their modifications and drivers for Tesla vehicle hardware. It is a kernel source repository rather than an end-user application.

## Use cases
- build a custom Linux kernel for Tesla vehicle hardware
- study Tesla's kernel modifications and device drivers
- port or rebase Tesla kernel patches onto newer kernel versions
- research automotive embedded Linux implementations
- compile kernel modules for Tesla infotainment systems

## When to choose
- you need Tesla-specific kernel drivers or patches
- you are doing automotive Linux or embedded kernel research
- you want to build or cross-compile a kernel for Tesla hardware

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose Linux kernel for servers or desktops
- you want a supported, production-ready operating system
- you need documentation or tooling beyond the standard kernel tree

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: embedded
- domain: operating-systems, embedded-systems, hardware
- platform: embedded
- tags: linux-kernel, kernel-source, fork, automotive, tesla, operating-systems, linux
