Can't reply to gens comment, so I'll do it here:
I see that you had many experiences with failing engineering, and so have I. What's more, car manufacturers have been involved in more and more scandals, and this does include code quality. As a matter of fact, I did meet people with direct experience on car systems code that reported deep quality problems.
It's then logical to say there is a possibility Tesla screw up.
However, electrical cars have been holding computers since day one. Tesla demonstrated the ability to create, build and sell at scale complex electronic systems with generally well considered performance. Also their will to allow outsiders to attack it can be interpretted as a desire to improve the system, and hence it makes sense to think this desire existed before, and they that did their homework (which is the original topic of this thread).
We are discussing ability to setup a process, not to succeed in it.
