Software is likely vastly better than with any other auto company

I don't agree with all their UX/UI decisions, but I will grant you that Tesla has better -aesthetics- than most of the auto manufacturers.

That doesn't correlate to inherent software quality, though.

Really? Because as was recently brought to popular attention, the software requires the car doors to stay closed to update itself, which in my view is some real Windows 95-level engineering. Not impressed.
Well that’s not true- I frequently access the Tesla while it’s doing an update.
Well, greater quantity (both static and flow rate), but greater quality is less clear.
The only car I've had software that worked at all in, and I've owned a Tesla, was a Citroen. And that was because it had no software worth mentioning other than a BT receiver.
