> I object to software that phones home and/or engages in automatic updates
But Tesla's don't auto update. So it's not on topic.
We have to stay in reality.
Updates push us forward. It comes with risks but so far the rewards outweight the risk.
Elon made a car that can update! That's fucking amazing. It's what he does. Changes the game. Makes NEW things that push everything forward. It's a new way of thinking.
These comments seem straight from TSLAQ but sadly don't seem to be from that intelligent evil which would be interesting! just seems like stupidity.
A $50 billion+ company that works on reputation will ruin that for $7000?
Good to know -- so users can simply elect not to accept updates? What about when Tesla changes the operating characteristics of the car, is that always optional? Is accepting the change this article is talking about optional?
If so, then I have no objections, although I will still never buy a Tesla or any other vehicle that phones home.

Perhaps. But as long as it's the owners who get to decide whether or not the risk is worth it, that's fine. If the manufacturer gets to make that decision, that's not fine at all.
