I suppose the correlation here being that I would be concerned about not only about malicious activities being committed against your car, but someone then turning your car against you or others within its range.
Its only a matter of time before over the air car hijacking becomes a real problem. I think I prefer my car not be wirelessly susceptible.
This is really awesome. Now if only Carriers/Manufactures would update Android phones as quickly.

"Your Tesla needs to update. Please close all doors and windows, then turn the car off and on again."
I was thinking more like Your Tesla is updating. Please do not press the gas pedal or brake pedal. 17% Right in the middle of I-280, of course.

Your Tesla will restart in 10... 9... 8...

That seems crazy to me. Over the air updates will continually make your car safer. You're basically arguing that Windows Update is bad because someone could MITM it to inject an exploit into your computer. Sure, that's possible, but it's much more likely that the delay between availability and installation of an exploit will caused you to be owned.

That actually sounds a lot more like Microsoft - Windows and other products are sounding massive amount of telemetry data back to Redmond
Microsoft is huge software corporation that dominates operating system/productivity space. Tesla is a fairly small automotive company that is really innovative. I think that comparison is actually extremely flattering to Tesla. Anyways your point is correct, however it is one thing to get telemetry from your own operating system that connected to the internet, and entirely different beast to bring that kind of techno…
One person's feature is another person's backdoor.

You guys no doubt think you're being funny, but the way it actually works is like iOS devices: after the download, the car asks you when you'd like to install it, with 2am the next morning being the default. The installation can only take place if the car is stationary, parked, and off.
this of course, only works when the patch isn't to fix the part where it detects if the car is stationary, parked and off.
