Don't they charge for most of those over the air updates, and require a subscription for basic features like navigation or satellite radio?
Personally I don't want a car with over the air updates, I want a car that hits the showroom floor with development complete, not needing updates. Releasing a car with the same business model as a AAA video game is ridiculous. These are 3 ton machines that we careen down the highway at 80 mph inside of. I want that shit finished, not a beta release. That's not even taking into account the fact that privacy is a nightmare when manufacturers have an always on connection to your car. But, all new cars are violating consumer trust with spying now, not just Teslas.
I drive mostly older vehicles now. So the only spying that I allow is via my cellphone...
