Obviously they wouldn’t have to spend that much. Right now the majority of their customers get these updates via WiFi - so it would just be a matter of finding out which vehicles were sufficiently out of date and only sending them the data.
- taneq 9y agoFair point, either it's affecting a lot of people or it's not going to cost much to push over LTE for the few remaining ones, they need to pick one. It sounds like the other half of the issue is that there's no way to force the car to check for updates. That should be quick to add... in the next update (heh). Edit: The original poster on the Tesla forum did say they usually got their updates a couple of weeks after they were released. Maybe, to get around this very problem, the car waits for a while in hope of a friendly WiFi connection before resorting to LTE?
- usrusr 9y agoOnce it works without Wi-Fi, few people will bother too set it up. There are obvious solutions to WiFi-less home parking for a company with their very own charger network, but they take initiative, commitment and acknowledging the problem. I'm pretty sure that pointing out all the ways of how a given happy path solution won't work for everybody is not how you make a career at a company like Tesla.
