Very nice you are diving into this! Yes, you have to make the effort to find replacement apps and let go of some. Beautiful exercise! And no, you won't find the Tesla app on F-Droid since it won't be open-sourced. But since you probably need it, you can still download the Tesla app apk file, install it manually and curate updates with the Aurora store that doesn't require a Google login.

I really appreciate the guidance! We should all support each other doing what we can to improve privacy. Although I’m an engineer I do seek a mobile solution that “just works” w/o me spending lots of time in a CLI. But I will investigate. If I didn’t have the Tesla it might be easier to go “all-in.” Meanwhile I’m waiting for my iPhone X to die—it may be awhile so I at least went through a “cleanse” yesterday and deleted a ton of #crapps (that’s “crap apps”😆), deleted a bunch of saved passwords, etc. it just feels good to lower my attack surface as well as removing dependency on big tech. #privacy #mobile
