Metal isn’t malleable? I guess they just dug it up in the shape of a car.

See recent car recalls where there is a structural problem with the car.

This is not unique to software.

Right, I worded that poorly. The point is that Tesla cannot remotely change the metal in your car, whereas they can with the software.

We as users should demand insight into the software running on hardware we own. Otherwise we only partially own it, and if the device is connected to the internet, we can lose ownership any time.

They can, it’s called a recall. If you do not respond to a recall the value of you car basically hits 0. Which was literally my point.

When you buy a house do you enquire into the grade of concrete used in the foundations? Should “we home owners demand insight into the concrete ratios used”.

I wonder if on electrician forums there are folks saying: “wiring should be open source”? Like because you understand something you want more insight, but you’re happy to be in ignorant bliss on every other aspect of a product.
