I'm here looking to see if I need to bring my car in and it turns out it's just a software update that already happened. Wow, such news...
Aren't you nervous that a software update will just make your car more dangerous? I don't trust them at all. Not so I trust my life to a computer system that is known to malfunction and kill people under certain circumstances.
Nope. Been working just fine for a few years now. Can't see them suddenly just breaking it.
There are plenty of reasons to avoid Tesla, like the fact that it took 11 months to repair my car because Tesla isn't making enough spare parts. Or the fact that Elon Musk is a fascist asshole. I will certainly not be buying another Tesla at this point. But software? No.
And to be clear, every car manufacturer has an "autopilot" like system now. It's not just a Tesla thing.
