Comparing a Toyota to a Tesla is comparing oranges and apples. Tesla is a computer on wheels. Capabilities are delivered continuously over software updates. From self-driving capabilities to faster charging. Toyota and others do not have that capability.
- bestnameever 8y agoBasically every car manufactured today can be called a computer on wheels. Whether Toyota will mimic Tesla's update process remains to be seen but I wouldn't rule it out once Toyota releases an all electric self driving vehicle.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoCall me old fashioned, but I think it is a mistake to allow a software update to modify the functionality of car remotely. Barring some kind of failure, whether mechanical, electrical, or electronic, I know with certainty the cars I own will perform tomorrow fairly well exactly as they did today.
- tawaywhynot 8y ago>Capabilities are delivered continuously over software updates. Until your hardware is obsolete. There are severe restrictions to what can actually be improved over the air. As it stands, certain Model S and X can't use the next generation chargers. And if you believe Elon is going to upgrade all the hardware on every car for free, forever, well I have a bridge to sell you.
