> The guy's own post [1] said it was "pending" (e.g. downloaded and ready for an automatic update), not installed. This is correct. It was an attempted downgrade. He stopped it. > it's much more likely that it was "somebody in engineering decided to cancel a bad update" than his paranoid claims. This is unlikely. He wasn't being downgraded to the version prior to the current one. He was being downgraded to a much older version that did not contain any of the secret info. And nobody else was experiencing the downgrade. If there is a critical flaw that requires a rollback, you do it for everyone and it's big news. He also made it clear that he found a ton of other stuff and was not disclosing that (yet). It looks like somebody at Tesla pushed code to production that shouldn't have been pushed since it isn't relevant to any production vehicles. Once the leak happened, there was a bit of a panic and to stop anymore leaks, they tried to downgrade ... which was silly, because if you know how to root the car, you probably know how to make a backup and stop remote access.
