    Then again Tesla has caused new safety issues with the easy updating. Though it isn’t really about the update method, but their software culture. Some of the recalls are about bugs that weren’t on the original factory software. Rather Tesla created need for safety recall by sending over OTA update, that had bug or misbehaviour on the new update software. Then causing them to have to update, the update with now recall flagged OTA to fix the safety issue they created by uploading flawed software update to the car.

    Which I would assume won’t happen with others, since they test the software to death before deploying it. Since it’s a service visit. So it’s far cheaper to spend extra couple million on software testing, than finance yet another round of service visits to update with fix a flawed software update.
