Enough Musk Spam

Sounds like a useful update.

Remember not to leave your idiot inside an unattended car on a hot day.

It looks bad if they can't isolate the doors from the main system. A door should never unexpectedly not be a door.

It's important to mention these flaws with Tesla specifically, because Elon Musk doesn't have the right politics.

PS The name of this community is terribly ironic.

I feel like I'm the only one of my generation that hates adding tech to shit that doesn't need it. It's ridiculous and ass backwards

I’ve only had mine a few months but that doesn’t seem like anything I experienced. When there’s an update, it prompts me to schedule it, defaulting to 1am. I usually ignore the dialog until it goes away, and it updates overnight

I put this entirely on the tik tokker, although if Elon Musk really put a tik tokker sensor in the car, I’m going back to worshipping him

I have a Tesla and this is largely her own fault. These updates by default are scheduled to run at night. I think midnight is default but I've moved mine to 3 am. Even when the update is downloaded it won't start it unless you press a button to do so, and that button is under a huge warning saying basically "your car will be totally useless for 20 minutes, please don't be inside of it" then when you start the update you have 2 minutes to just open the door, I don't even think you have to close it. There are also manual door handles inside the car. Tesla says that they might damage the locks, but that's still better than heatstroke. So she either manually started the update, ignored every warning and locked herself in her car, or she changed when her car updates automatically to the middle of the day which is likely when she uses it most

I understand that you should still be able to operate the doors even during software updates, and that it's a design flaw that all of these systems are so tightly intertwined that general updates make the car unusable, but it's not like the car doesn't give you a bunch of warnings

Also gizmodo argues that the car should require you to not be in it while it updates, however when we see the headline that someone got locked out of their Tesla during a blizzard and froze to death, then people will ask why they aren't allowed to be in the car. You own a 2 ton death machine, there should be a minimum amount responsiblity we expect you to have to operate it safely for yourself and everyone around you
