Large model local computing, mesh features

I am attempting to use medium sized 3D scans I took of my car, for example the wheel well and suspension components of just one corner. That model is too large for OnShape and makes creating parts within that model basically impossible. Its a slide show with features taking a long time to generate. So there is no way to do a full car sized model in Onshape without reducing the mesh significantly. I found meshes over 50 mb OnShape cannot deal with which is unfortunate because thats not even a large mesh.
Is there ever going to be a way to utilize local hardware to help the program like how Fusion 360 does? That program can run the things I mentioned no problem which is why I compare them. I much prefer OnShape over Fusion so if this was ever solved it would be awesome. My current work flow is to bring the models into Fusion, use their remesh and reduce mesh features then bring it into OnShape, since OnShape has no such equivalent features that I could find.
