I have the same model as you and I am interested experimenting in this
direction.

Did you see this thread about door locks?

It works for some, but not for me, though I still haven't got around to
trying it with the TCU unplugged (mostly because I haven't figured out
where the TCU is on my right-hand drive model!).

As for charging, I suspect it'll be easy to find some CAN message(s)
that will cause it to stop; the problem might be that doing so triggers
some fault detection that could also upset things.  But we have lots of
logs to get ideas from, so it's certainly worth having a go.

That would be great; it seems like there should be generic functions
to deal with the ESP32's GPIO pins (things like switch on/off, toggle
for n milliseconds); that the vehicle-specific layer could just call
as required.
