we have a tesla

it gets software updates all the time.

it will alert us on our app when an update is ready and we have the option to install and these come in when the car is plugged in in the garage and we're in the house doing our thing.

cant imagine a scenario where i'm sitting in a car in a chickfila parking lot stuffing my face with fried chicken and french fries and decide its a good time to punch the touch-screen with my greasy fingers and connect to the chikfila wifi and run a major software update from the free WiFi which isn't designed to be used from the parking lot.

i even have trouble loading gifs on the OT using public wifi.

this was a stunt staged for clicks and for people to feel better about their elon hate.

I figured Elon would be one of your saviors.

Just make sure you don't let your antivirus lapse or it is gonna drive your arse to the middle of the closest Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, lock the doors, and start blasting that one David Alan Coe song on repeat.

What a complete moron. And she's getting the attention she was so desperate for.

I'm actually shocked she's smart enough to afford a Tesla. That's the crazy part to me.

Woman Stuck in Tesla For 40 Minutes With 115 Degrees Temperature During Vehicle Updateby Street Hawk
115?

Brianna Janel anticipated the software update to take only 24 minutes, but she found herself trapped inside her vehicle in Costa Mesa, California, for nearly 40 minutes.
Or another way to title this, "Woman's software update took 16 minutes more than planned.

OH THE HORROR!!!!

Electric cars are just fine-- the problem was the brand she chose: Tesla

Nothing comparable to her unfortunate event would have occurred in an electric manufactured by Nissan, Toyota, GM, Ford, or any reputable manufacturer

Recommend going with 1972 or earlier. Much better cars.

This moron "anticipated" being in a car, in the sun, with the doors closed, the windows closed and no AC for 24 minutes, but somewhere between minute 24 and 40 (16 minutes) it was too much to tolerate and she felt the need to reach out on TikTok? I would posit that the temperature did not rise a lot between her anticipated 24th minute and the end of her "nearly 40 minute" near death experience at 103 degrees. She may have "anticipated" it taking 24 minutes, what she apparently failed to "anticipate" is that the interior of a car in direct sunlight gets damned hot damned quick.

Also, title says it was 115 degrees, apparently it was 103. Substantial difference there. Either is unpleasant, I am certain, for 24 or 40 minutes...but only a complete moron would "anticipate" it being anything but unpleasant to sit in a car, in the sun, with no AC and no windows or doors open for 24 minutes. Once you commit to the 24 what is 16 more, more or less?
