Tesla is recalling more than 27,000 Cybertrucks because the rearview camera image may not activate immediately after shifting into reverse, the fifth recall for the vehicle since it went on sale late last year

Software that never gets updated isn’t a good thing. Even the Voyager probes still get software updates.

I don’t think y’all understand. Software is never done, it just becomes abandoned. You have been a “tester” for every piece of software you’ve ever used. And that’s a good thing, because the alternative is you get stuck with whatever the first version is. No one wants dead software.

I’ve never owned a car that needed regular software updates. Have you?

Are you sure? There’s a ton of them that do. Unless you have an older vehicle.

I have a 2016 Prius. I’ve never needed to download a software update. Somehow Toyota could handle making a hybrid without it being necessary.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that there isn’t an update.

So an optional update rather than one you have to do because of a recall, the thing we’re talking about? Because otherwise this seems like a “technically” sort of gotcha.
