Put your hate for Tesla aside for a moment

I don't want ANY manufacturer to be able to silently fix huge problems. This is not a Tesla issue. But they're the ones currently doing it. Now to bring it back to Tesla... Do you want Elon to be able to cover his ass after a dozen people die to some manufacturing defect... Just for Tesla to silently fix some software thing and never get found out/thrown in jail for negligence?

Do you want Elon to be able to cover his ass after a dozen people die

Absolutely - because Elon is dumb enough to do that.

Um - when people die, it gets investigated and retroactive ass covering is a darwin award waiting to happen.
