98% of Tesla recalls are fixed by software update? Why didn't they get it right the first time? As for FSD Tesla will fail for sure. I think Nio or xpeng will reach level 4 before Tesla. If it's reachable at all.

Let the monopoly prosper.. Soon we'll live in the utopia of only two companies in the world. Apple and Tesla. And we give them all our money and worship them like Gods.

@patriciazoerner we will never own a Tesla again but will likes EVs

@bucfan11 yes. Too many to mention

It's doing well because of questionable business practices. FSD for example is a fraud. How can they call it FSD when it's not?? It falsely mislead many users into false sense if security and caused many accidents due to misuse.

A car controlled by software from a central server that can be hacked and malware injected. No thanks. There is a big danger people don't talk about a single point of failure in the current setup

@pauld3327 I'm not complaining about user experience. I'm saying the centralized archetcture poses a great risk if Tesla's server becomes compromised or a latent bug is in the software. Especially given the dominance of Tesla, the bigger it gets, the riskier, as more Tesla cars on road all are dependent on the software update from the central server. If there is ever a problem, all Tesla cars could shut down, or worse behave erradically, causing millions of accidents all at the same time.

Wise move. I think Tesla is no longer an attractive investment as it once was. If Elon musk is removed as CEO and share prices go down significantly I'll consider again.

@yeahbuddy92193911 I'm a software engineer I know exactly what software fixes mean. It's not some kind of magic that will actually repair physical problems that your car might have. If it came a faulty component that might cause fire for example, software fix is not going to replace it, it will just disable it but the faulty component is still there just not used anymore, therefore no danger of fire. If that component is not critical to the function of car, then disabling it by software is much easier then taking them to shop to disconnect it or replace it. But it does come with a cost that whatever that component was designed to do, doesn't do anymore. Maybe it was for efficiency or backup for some rare situations. It takes out some functionality of the car. Another type of software fix is parameter adjustment. If users complain about reduced range for instance, software fix is to reduce the battery buffers so that more of battery pack can be used. This appears like magic for those gullible users. Battery buffers were there for good reasons, to prevent overcharging and over discharging. Reducing that could reduce longevity of battery or worse increase fire risk. And the final type of software fix is software bugs themselves. Thus my question is if Tesla fixes so many recalls by software update, does it mean they have such a bad software with so many bugs in it? Why didn't they get it right from the start? Or are they just doing bunch of bandaid fixes to the real physical problems?
