Why only Tesla has OTA? Some people really think nobody in the industry ever thought of that since the internet was born? Musk is doing a nice publicity stunt.

Tesla sold, what?.... 30000 cars all time? All models above $50000? So addressing people living in places where OTA is not an issue.

How are all the other car makers going to handle a production of a few milion units PER YEAR, being updated OTA? How are they going to update cars sold in countries where Internet is a dream? If you change your release strategy to fit an OTA update model, you better be able to support it. This is not a problem for the volume Tesla is selling, and neither for it's audience.
