And I think Tesla is destined to expand their lead. Tesla is the only car company that pushes hard to be a software company. Musk correctly said that the future of Tesla mostly relies on how fast it achieves full self-driving without human intervention. Buying any other car feels archaic. As a Tesla is the only car that gets better every few months via over the air updates.

> As a Tesla is the only car that gets better every few months via over the air updates. I’m still waiting for the suspension, road/wind noise, and AUTO WIPERS, to be fixed via software update. Model S Plaid, by the way.

  The newer 3/Y already addresses both suspension and noise. Not the refreshed 3, the one prior.

That was not my experience in owning one. Ours regularly had issues. The seat belt broke. It always smelled bad due to some ventilation design issue they could never fix. The rear taillight went out multiple times. The spoiler fell off in a car wash. "Better every few months"—yeah right.

  There's some video about the ventilation ish

    I took it in 4 times for this issue. And tried to follow a bunch of guides. Nothing worked for more than a few months.

  When phones started to have built-in cameras, I once talked to a guy in a camera store and predicted that phone cameras will become more popular than regular cameras. He looked at me as if I was insane. And with some anger, he told me that if I consider those little pieces of junk with tiny sensors and lenses to become serious competition to real cameras, he just can't take me serious. It's always the same story with software eating the world. At first, it is hard to believe that the software will play a larger and larger role and ultimately become more important than the hardware.

    What on earth are you talking about? Who wants a stinky car they need to pick parts off the car wash when they fall off?
    - ArtTimeInvestor 3y ago
      Well, phone cameras still have tiny sensors and lenses. But the software makes up for it to an extent that they are vastly more popular than old school cameras now. When mobility is a service you use via an app on your phone, it will be 100x more convenient than having to maintain a car yourself. Tap, and the robotaxi arrives in 5 minutes. Leave the car without having to care where to park. You won't be around when the car is in the car wash. It will go there by itself. And if something falls off, Tesla will deal with it, not you.

  I own both a Lexus and model 3. The Lexus still has a smoother ride. On the tesla , the wind noise is something I can’t get over despite owning for 2 years.
