Reply to comment by psalm_69 in Tesla Recalls 40,000 Vehicles Over Potential Power Steering Failure by Additional-Two-7312

That’s one thing Tesla gets right …. My Chrysler needs an update and guess what .. I need to go waste a few hours at the dealer to have them upload the new software during a scheduled visit. Dealer appointments are backlogged for over a month and a half as well.

Conversely Chrysler engineers don’t have to worry about pushing a button and breaking every car. Cars are moving from industrial class to consumer and the ride is interesting.

I wonder what kind of controls Tesla has in place to prevent rogue engineers or hackers doing nefarious things like that …

In software development that’s usually very easy to control. If that happens it’s not just incompetence, probably negligence.
Regressions from intentional changes though….good luck. No matter the size and term of the various beta groups you’ll hit cases. Hopefully not in most of your customer base but that’s the danger of frequent updates, much more likely.
