We don't believe BT gateway will work because the Tesla library want to have low level control of the Bluetooth device. For remote application I recommend using the Docker version of this project running for example on a Raspberry Pi with built in Bluetooth eg RPi3b https://github.com/tesla-local-control/tesla_ble_mqtt_docker |

When you say 'Remote BT gateway', I take this to also mean ESPHome Bluetooth Proxies? |

This won't work for the same reason as above. Direct control of the Bluetooth device is required by the Tesla library |

Indeed, BT gateway (if you mean eg. the esphome Bluetooth proxy), it will not work. |

Will it work with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W? |

It might, but I recommend you select a device with Bluetooth version>= 5.0; I believe this has Bluetooth 4.2 |

You need a fully empowered bluetooth controller.
This module is to setup directly on the Home Assistant host machine. If you cannot, then you can build a separate system and use the docker standalone variant: https://github.com/tesla-local-control/tesla_ble_mqtt_docker
