Software problems can still brick the car or cause plenty of frustration. My Accord liked to shut off the ACC, because, literally, it was seeing too much and crashing, and it would throw a fault when it happened. It took Honda 1-1/2 years to fix it and a couple of trips to the dealer, plus the recall.The article highlights Tesla's build issues and I know lots of EV's have unreliable infotainment systems (The Volvo one seems especially buggy) but for me reliability lives and dies on powertrain. Software issues can be fixed and even minor electrical problems addressed but battery and motor issues are what most people (including me) are really afraid of.
Sure, it's fixed, but do you really need the disruption or towing costs because your software decided to freeze?
