Random and uncontrollable shuffling of the software in your car is a FEATURE?

- RankingMember 8y agoI would definitely consider having your braking/acceleration/navigation/security upgraded without a visit to a service center a feature.
- dmitrygr 8y agoUntil a bug disables them, Yes. Raise your hand if you know of someone who writes bug free code.

- willhk 8y agoYes, nobody writes bug free code and that's why having a car that can't update software OTA is a good thing. Got it. I do enjoy knowing that if a bug crops up I have to schedule an appointment at the dealership and take a day off work to drop it off to be upgraded instead of waking up to a bugfix having been already deployed.
- RankingMember 8y agoThis is why they don't upgrade everyone at once. People in the early-access program get the updates earlier and do so with the understanding that there may be bugs.
- chc 8y agoThis is a non sequitur. Your car still has code in it, whether or not it can get OTA updates.
- jsight 8y agoI wish it was more controllable, but yeah, it is a feature. There are lots of almost unfixable bugs in my non-Tesla's software stack, but they don't improve. The situation for the rest of the industry is that they are adding increasingly large amounts of software driven features but are even worse off than Tesla's occasionally buggy updates.
