> Tesla turned the car into a software problem

No, they convinced fanboys that they turned it into a software problem. The reality is they are no different than any other auto manufacturer. Being in Silicon Valley doesn't change that.

An electric Camry would sell so much more than the model 3.

What are you talking about? They have turned it into a software problem. Name another company where you can make meaningful over the air software updates that affect more than the dashboard?

Also while I am a Tesla fanboy, I work in automotive technology and interface with many of the major car companies daily, so I'm not just getting this from articles.

If the airbags have a problem which causes them to hurt shrapnel into peoples faces you can't fix that with a software update.

and why is being able to push updates to heavy machinery that we routinely have moving at speeds of 60+ MPH a good thing?

If you can fix the brakes via software update you can break them too.

I'm fine with it if someone going to prison when a software update kills people.

The alternative is having to take your vehicle in to get the brakes fixed.
