I knew this guy was pure evil.
Deployment on friday night !
And that too before Christmas.
Thank god Santa doesnt use Tesla

It's a guideline not a rule. Please timeout your security updates any day/hour.

We release plenty of stuff on Friday. But nothing that confuses users or can have an impact that cannot be fully tested.

I'm surprised they didn't just send off some crappy software.

bad bad move...

you can go ahead and give discount on christmas.

but you shouldn't release software. if bugs are found, you are taking away your employee's holiday.

@hjk101 I agree with you. But what if you are out celebrating Christmas at the bar and after update your tesla refuses to start, Would you have a merry Christmas ?
My point is you cant be 100% sure that everything will work fine, even if the affected people are 0.01%, That would be atleast 10 families having a bad Christmas, which is a lot.
It may be a guideline for non-critical services but for critical ones, i do not agree.

@coldfire That is exactly what I mean with the impact part. If it's just an addition to the entertainment stuff the worst that can happen is that there is no entertainment. Nothing crucial. I know that Tesla is one of the few companies that actually seperated the components properly and connects them lightly trough a gateway.
By no means should users be stranded.
I think it can be done but if they fuck it up yeah this is going to get some great memes. Either way is a win for me as I have a stupid car :>)
