Wi-Fi makes that pretty damn hard to verify. In theory, malicious firmware could even opportunistically link up with other malicious firmware acting as a bridge via some undocumented protocol that would only be detectable by looking at the raw spectrum.

yeah, but we should think and implement security measures in all systems indifferent of politics and economics. Imagine some terrorists hacks Tesla server and sends a command for all cars to crash. We would need all important systems to be designed in the assumption that something bad will eventually happened(hackers, company goes out of business, stupidly(see Firefox addons issue) ) etc
