Well, somewhat. From the article:

> The most impressive one is the software updates that will change driving dynamics. This update is sent to customer’s cars without them having to visit their service location, just like updating your computer via the internet.

That's pretty slick for a car.

I really, really hope they got their security on that very tight.
From what we know, they do. The car actually VPNs into Tesla HQ to download updates. As such, we don't know what happens after that, but the fact that they've gone to the level of setting up a Car<->Manufacturer VPN suggests that they do more beyond that.
