"It gives an amazing user experience, "Hey restart your car and it's now got X and Y". Respect."

It's basically Apple's model with iPhone and Macs, except applied to automobiles.

How is a software update "Apple's model"?

Not sure that this is necessarily Apple-specific

In practice, carriers and manufacturers do not tend to release updates for Android phones other than Nexus once the shinier model has come out a few months later.

One of the major selling points of the iPhone is that it will continue to receive full OS updates for 2+ years.

Continuing software upgrades are pretty Apple-specific in the smartphone market, but it's also just as true of Windows and Linux in the desktop space.
