This is the problem with over the air updates. It gives car companies the ability to disable features at their own will. Another aspect is that software has bugs and an update can potentially also introduce problems in your car, especially when your 10yr model is receiving updates that the software engineer didn't care to test for such old model. I always liked software that runs stable software and keeps running that way forever.
- rootusrootus 4y agoExactly. Everyone loves those OTA updates right now because they bring new features. Let's revisit in ten years and see how happy everyone is.
- buffington 4y agoI bought my Tesla used, and when I went to pull up the digital user manual (a PDF) the entire screen went black and the car rebooted. After rebooting, I tried it again, and it did it again. I've since learned to avoid software updates as long as possible unless the description of changes explicitly describes fixing a bug. Even then, I weigh the benefits of fixing the bug, or leaving it as is, knowing an update could make other things worse.
