Someone in the article comments said a pilot might be dipping into and out of icing conditions throughout a flight. You'd need to remember each time and if you forget once you'll lose both engines.

The latest Tesla features manual window wipers and if you don't use them right the car explodes.

What does using them right mean?

If you turn them on when it's not raining, it explodes.

If you forgot to turn them off when it stops raining is more apt comparison except it's easier to detect no rain than no frosting conditions.

it seems easy to detect overheating, frost or no frost, no?

I think the main issue is that every other plane does in fact detect and handle overheating automatically.

Simple.

1. Wait for people to report a problem 2. Inform users that they were doing it wrong, it was always intended for you to do it the other way

E.g. how to hold your iPhone.

I believe that was meant as a metaphor. The 737 MAX being the Tesla. In other words, "what if..."

I think just an analogy.
