Well it looks like brake issue can be solved with a software update [1] in a few days. Which is not too surprising since brakes are a known technology. [1]htt

  It's because they're a "known technology" that it's rather surprising that Tesla managed to screw up their ABS system in such a dangerous way. If there has been an analogous failure with either traditional Bosch ABS systems or the Toyota systems that integrate with hybrid and electric powertrains - both systems have been around for decades - I'm not aware of it. Not that Toyota hasn't had other sorts of firmware problems...

    True, it is surprising that Tesla seems to have a bug in such a known technology. But also because it is such a known technology it would be equally surprising if there wasn't an easy fix for the problem and it turns out there is. A tempest in a tea pot.

      > But also because it is such a known technology it would be equally surprising if there wasn't an easy fix for the problem There is no logic to this belief of yours whatsoever. It was an easy fix because it's online-updateable firmware, not because it's "known technology."
