Whats an example of a “non legacy” manufacturer that has perfect software?

Im currently in the process of selling my Tesla (“non legacy manufacturer”) back under lemon law because of constant hardware and software issues like windows intermittently refusing to roll up (despite 6+ service center visits), windshield wipers not working, random alerts about “faults” they allegedly can’t locate in their logs, getting alerts on my phone that windows are left open when they’re not, lane departure warnings when the setting is turned off and i am not departing a lane, loud popping noises on speakers followed by infotainment “crashes”, etc.

That's a lemon. That's unacceptable of course. We do know from millions of teslas sold that they work fine over the mass of cars. They are made by people, they'll have problems, they will break. But the sum of experiences is good outcome. The opposite seems to be the case with the ultium cars.

A lot of that almost sounds like something is shorted in the wiring in the car, and the software doesn't understand that something is physically wrong.

So there is an unexpected input which will cause whole module to crash and reset. That sounds awful lot like a crap software writing.

Imagine if you would press too many keys at once on your keyboard causing Windows to BSOD and restart....

Even the best software can’t counter a hardware fault.
