> please would you be able to point me were on their product page they said they could push software updates and remote commands to your device after you purchased it?

There's probably also purchase and service/warranty agreements you'd be signing prior to buying the car, but I don't own a Tesla so I don't know what's in those.




Wow can't believe I missed that, it's crazy.

Never going to be buying one of those then.

Remote-brick-support is not a feature you want, and that goes double for any device that moves 100MPH with you inside of it.


Wait 10 years, every car manufacturer will be doing this, otherwise they'll have no easy way to patch their software.

BTW the Tesla wont update while you are driving it, lol.


Until the FBI demands Tesla add this capability to immobilize terrorists.


And I expect Tesla to react the same way Apple did. "GTFO"
