• I'd guess that Tesla has the ability to identify issues by statistical analysis of data logged by the vehicles, since it's known that the onboard systems log so much they wear their eMMCs out. Whether they do this or not is another matter, but I doubt any non-EV production road car holds as much historical data vs just flagging codes in an ECU.

  • Maybe. They seem to be much more aware and in control of the cars features post release.

    If I remember correctly, they released an OTA update to improve braking power which is nuts. Then you look at the new VW ID.3 which has been delayed because software updates needed to be made manually so 40k vehicles needed to be plugged in, in massive tents at the factory.

  • Given the number of systems operating semi-independently, implemented using general-purpose microcontrollers/CPUs rather than having their logic implemented in hardware, it seems a bit short-sighted to be relying on physical access to every single car to deliver the updates. VW, I am dissappoint.
