Fisker bankruptcy hits major speed bump as fleet sale is now in question | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

The buyer, a New York-area leasing company called American Lease, says in a new filing that Fisker now believes there is no way to transfer the information connected to each SUV to a new server not owned by the bankrupt EV startup. Since American Lease needs that information to operate the vehicles after Fisker is dissolved, the leasing company has filed an emergency objection to the startup’s liquidation plan.

I've had cars where if there's a programming update required, they issue it as a service action, you take the car to the dealer, and they do the software update locally with an SD card or USB stick.

You can still have easily updated software without it requiring OTA updates.
