I wish the present was a little less obsessed with having everything Internet-connected. I don't want an Internet connection on my self-driving car, or at least have an air gap between the user functions and the car's driving computer. But that won't happen because the company will be more worried about being able to push updates than about security.
To be fair I guess even with a non-connected car that I have to update via USB, I could still download a malicious update. But at least we won't all get the malicious update pushed at once.

I rarely see sentiments like "Tesla makes great cars, but I just wish their ECU and other critical systems wasn't internet connected" or "I refuse to buy any Tesla products until they remove the constant user tracking".

However, if someday a zeroday is used to duke it out, a very angry, very unreasonable, not interested PR-Bla and Excuses crowd is going to assemble outside someones office tower. The someone will call the police, but the police will be busy, with the mess someones ECU peeping has made. The privat guards will do what private guards always do, if they see no good outcome for themselves and step aside. The escape helicopter pilot will have lost loved ones in the mess and take off. Someone is going to get shoved out the airlock, for all the other someones to see. That will have a interesting learning effect. Thus ended the lesson.
