Typical OTA update that other car companies wish they could do.

And yet… this is a basic safety function. Wonder how it got screwed up? The fact that they can fix it quickly is nice, but why was the error not caught in the regression testing of the software in the first place?

BMW has had failing tailights for 20 years, none of which have been fixed with an ota update.

Fucking this.
Granted my BMW is 6 years old at this point but I JUST shelled out £300 to fix a failing taillight.
How these motherfuckers gonna turn their noses up at a FREE OTA update that fixes the issue?

Apple sends out iOS updates all the time cause you can QA all you want and still miss something that will be figured out once it is being used by millions of people.

And no other car manufacturer has ever had safety recalls over really fundamental things? Tesla are hardly an outlier here.

Or hoards of bigoted idiots twisting anything they can to have a go at them just because their CEO is a bit of a twat.
By all means point out all that Tesla is doing wrong and I'll happily agree. Their quality control is abysmal for a company with a production line as mature as theirs should be by now, their autopilot is a joke, etc. But attacking them for a basic recall that all manufacturers do is asinine and counter productive in that it creates ill informed noise clouding the real issues that they should be held accountable for.

You don't know what "bigoted" means, do ya, bub?
But thanks for proving my point:
"CRITICISING A CONSUMER PRODUCT I ASPIRE TO ONE DAY HOPE TO OWN IS THE SAME AS RACISM!!!"
Leave the basement, and go outside.

Bigoted: Obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
Seems pretty accurate for the situation. Are you sure you know what it means? Being a bigot is unrelated to racism, even if the two sometimes go hand in hand.
You know nothing of my personal circumstances. I could easily buy a Tesla should I want, and test drove one when choosing my current car but opted to spend more on a different brand.
I even point out some of the many reasons to criticise Tesla in my previous post, as well as patiently explaining why this it's counter productive to criticise them in this specific instance. Yet you choose personal insults in reply whilst completely misrepresenting what I said...

They have issued recalls for a quarter of their sold cars...
The fanboys parrot the OTA thing like that is an acceptable error rate.

Really? Fuck that's low! Ferrari recalled every car made since 2005. Rivian too. 25% is amazing.

Dealers hate doing software updates to modern cars, they can take hours and can tie up service bays. They'd rather do easy money makers like oil and filter changes.

Second least reliable car manufacturer according to consumer reports. Overpriced crap.
