Do you have a plan for installing safety-critical updates?

• marssaxman 9y ago
  If the firmware in that car is so fragile that any such thing as a truly safety-critical update could still reasonably exist after they've been out on the road this many years, then I definitely don't want to drive one, and I'd prefer not to share the road with them either. On the other hand, if there actually were some epidemic of Tesla crashes due to faulty firmware, the intense media scrutiny they've experienced would almost certainly have turned it up by now; so I'm willing to believe that any updates they'd be trying to push would not, in fact, be safety-critical.

    Tesla has made a couple of things public which were safety critical updates, such as this one: http://mashable.com/2017/06/09/tesla-ota-airbag-fix/ http://mashable.com/2017/06/09/tesla-ota-airbag-fix/ which also refers to an earlier incident where they made charging at home more tentative to avoid faulty plugs causing fires.

      Thanks for the link. Ok, that's pretty clear, no Tesla for me.
