>“It is economically, if not technologically, infeasible to expect that such components can or should be designed to last the vehicle’s entire useful life,” Tesla said in the letter.
WTF Tesla. Technology is supposed to improve things, not make them break easier. Don't make me second guess my Cybertruck...
Right, then make it easily replaced, like oil, if it only has a known lifetime. Don't make someone buy an entire new touchscreen and electronics. Just a combination of poor product selection for the flash modules and poor coding to constantly write logs to that store. This is one reason I don't like high tech integrated into my autos. The tech quickly becomes dated and is impossible to repair or upgrade. Autos (at least honda and toyota) should easily have a 20 year lifecycle if well maintained and 15 if even half ass taken care of. I certainly expect the electronics to last that long, if you cannot do that let your customer know up front and make replacements easy and cheap.
