There are 47 Tesla engineers who quietly developed a kill command for the CT disguised as a Christmas OTA. Brilliant! Now they will have to commit seppuku in front of Shogun Musk.

Some Ford EV owners dis Ford for being so slow and cautious when it comes to OTA updates. This story shows what can happen when updates fail. My take on it, based on the tech notes about the repair, is the initial update failed and the car was bricked when it tried to execute the incomplete firmware. https://www.torquenews.com/11826/la...rtrucks-elon-musk-unaware-issue-says-fsd-1322
“Latest Tesla Software Update Bricks Several Cybertrucks; Elon Musk, Unaware of the Issue Says, The FSD 13.2.2 Update is Tesla’s Christmas Gift to the World”

He’s right. Out made our streets safer by sidelining a bunch of CyberWedgies.

Article says 4 cybertrucks were bricked. We have had more MMEs bricked because of software updates gone sideways.

Pop quiz:
When did the Mach-E first roll off the assembly line, and how many are in circulation vs. the Cybertruck?

MME = +3 years
CT < 1 year

How long has Tesla been around. I don’t think you can compare this to say one is better or worse than the other. Software glitches happen.

Tesla is still better. Ford has had bricked cars due to software updates. Tesla does much better than Ford for OTAs. They get a pass.
