Cool, but freaky at the same time.

Mass Over-The-Air Update Of Tesla Cars Captured On Video

Here is something that most of us probably have never seen - an over-the-air update, applied to possibly hundreds of Tesla electric cars, all at the same time.

Here is something that most of us probably have never seen - an over-the-air update, applied to possibly hundreds of Tesla electric cars, all at the same time. During the process, cars have emergency lights on.

It seems that the video was recorded at some logistic center where Tesla had a while to update the software of newly produced cars (probably mostly Model 3), before releasing the fleet to customer deliveries.

Tesla has the ability to update not only the infotainment of its electric cars, but basically everything, including the core systems responsible for drive units and batteries. That's a huge advantage over the outgoing approach when customers were forced to visit dealers.

Huge advantage but in the wrong hands/hacker can be disastrous?

Looks like a bog standard Windows update. Flashing lights and no one knows what's going on.
