It's got an ECU, you're 1 computer bug away from being stranded.
the thing is that most manufacturers make sure software bugs are rare in cars. i never experienced an ecu bug before.
OK, that's a sample size of one, not very useful. Most Tesla owners never experienced an ECU bug either. I've never had an ECU bug in any of my own cars, but last year I had a rental car from Opel for a few months while my car was waiting for a replacement transmission to get shipped, and in the few months I had it I experienced an ECU bug once, where the car refused to be put into gear, and the only way to fix it was to disconnect the 12v battery and reattach it
It's a fact that modern cars get more complicated electronics every year, so ECU bugs leaving you stranded will get more common every year also
i never knew anybody whos ever experienced an ECU bug before, on non-teslas. the infotainment system can have issues, but on sane cars it is separate from engine management and the electronic functions of the car that have to be reliable.
i think thats the point this post in general is trying to make.
