> Why do people still work at Tesla, or does this toxic behavior attract toxic employees? It attracts Elon devotees. It remains to be seen if they can be as go

  Needing to be able to silently patch your vehicle's software without consumer consent or even knowledge is a tactic admission that you can't meet automotive industry software 'standards'. Tesla has pushed the "we do it to bring amazing things to your car!"...quietly distracting people from the "...we fuck things up so often we're constantly having to patch your car" man behind the curtain.

    As someone who drives a Tesla, by all means, fuck it up. Because it means it’s at least actually being worked on. Once you’re several years into owning a car, the outdated software really starts to show. Especially on mid-2010s cars where CarPlay and Android Auto weren’t a thing, you’re held back by really old shitty software that will never be updated. That is one thing that Tesla has, without a doubt, got right. And you can tell because most major manufacturers are also going to an OTA update system, even though it obviously costs far more in infrastructure and completely re-engineering their existing systems to support it.
