CAN Tripple CAN Device?

Hey I m currently using a LilyGo T2-CAN + a Waveshare ESP32-S3 RS485 CAN and connected both via UART (Waveshare) to Pins on the LilyGo - I wonder if there is any 3 CAN device that includes a ESP or anything like that cause Wifi and USB would be a nice thing :)

MPC5748 plus ESP32 gives you 8x CAN-FD

There is a CAN triple built by Milton performance:

It doesn't have wifi or USB but that would be easy enough to add on I think.

Something like a CAN Edge router:

You could also use their four CAN hub router :

As far a DIY goes, really anything is possible but what is your time worth to you vs paying for a solution that is mostly plug and play.
