some sound good, but:

> The SpaceX docking simulator ported as an in-vehicle game, playable on the infotainment screen

Really? People want that? I know that Elon Musk would think that it would be great to play a video game about Elon Musk's companies, but are Tesla owners similarly afflicted?

Yup, and I played it back when it was new. at an arcade, not in my car.

To me it is like someone saying, "Honey, I'll be on the garage watching Football in my Tesla all afternoon." Yeah, you can do it, but is a car really where you want to do that? The second aspect is it is a game glorifying Elon's "genius". What is next, a FPS for your Tesla where you have a chainsaw and you run through federal buildings trying to get the highest body count?

Honestly, i know a few Tesla users and at least for them their Tesla is more than just a car. Its like a gimmick.

Driving to tesla meetups, adding certain accessories for led light stuff, its (sry to say) just weird.

I get the basic idea of telling the internet about some issue and getting faster feedback than from the manufacturer, but I never had the feeling i needed any of this for my non Tesla EV.

And as i mentioned in my comment: I would hate all the regular updates. As long as everything works as expected, pls do not change anything.
