The pain

Tesla vehicle owners cannot update their car firmware reliably, leading to frustration and potential missed improvements or fixes.

The gap

  • Unclear if the problem is widespread or isolated, reducing market size.
  • High technical complexity and potential legal issues with interfacing Tesla systems.
