    also can be a pain, Toyota doesn't have connected services, so you need to take your car into Toyota Australia for a recent recall software update, manufacturers with connected services just do an OTA update.

    As an Australian I couldn't give a shit about China spying on me, I do care if my own country spies on me. I own a BYD

    In a competitive market we’d have both. I really appreciate what Tesla has been able to do with regular software updates, and that has been a compelling part of that vehicle. But I’m also tempted by Slates simplicity approach: no gadgets, no surveillance
