Yes, this happened to me, although it took 10 years. Free replacement, and the car still worked fine.

- FirmwareBurner 3y agoIt's still a major embedded engineering oversight on their part. We had fallback developed for such cases in $5 embedded devices. Calling out Tesla as a model for excellent software is insulting to SW that's actually quality. What Tesla SW has and others lack, is a great "wow" factor, which consumers who don't get to see how the sausage is made, mistakenly associate with 'quality' because it behaves like their iPad, but don't know all the skeletons in that closet.
- rpmisms 3y agoYeah, it's also a mistake they made 10 years ago. Tesla is very good at automotive software engineering.
- FirmwareBurner 3y ago>Yeah, it's also a mistake they made 10 years ago. You're making it sound like that mistake was an "I spilled my coffee on you boo-boo" and not a terrible engineering decision that should not have passed anyone with actual experience in the embedded industry, let alone a team. If this is the kind of engineering oversights that ends up in Tesla SW, only God knows what else they have lurking in there that hasn't yet reared its ugly head. >Tesla is very good at automotive software engineering. Citation needed. Repeating something doesn't make it true.
- mikem69 3y agoYou don’t appear to be arguing in good faith. It was a minor issue they had 10 years ago that was fixed. Tesla obviously has excellent software, but I’m interested in what you’d consider to be excellent software, and which companies would meet your absurd and non-sensical expectations. Please name some companies that meet your standards.
