I’ve seen Tesla’s shut the car down and force an update in the middle of the road because they were parked in a ramp and didn’t have OTA signal/wifi.
What’s crazy is that it’s mostly unnecessary- you can update almost everything behind the scenes, and then push the ones you can’t once the drive is stopped.
Worst part is they sat there in the middle of rush hour traffic for ~20 minutes while the slow ass download happened.
Twice in the last couple of months my bus has “crashed” during my commute.
The fix both times: rebooting it. While it was immobile in the middle of the street blocking traffic, of course.
Both the joy and the pain of EVs, potentially.
A car/bus that can’t separate essential functionality from infotainment, shouldn’t be allowed on the streets.

Tesla only lets you update on wifi, so this sounds like a load of bullshit to me.
