Super interesting!

So is it a fair simplification that a Tesla really just has everything running through a giant tablet as a cost cutting measure? Wouldn't that affect vehicle longevity? I have 10 year old tablets that can barely boot up any more, but 20 year old power windows that still work perfectly.

I was also hearing that one of the responses to this might be more base models with manual features (cranks, push buttons, etc). Any truth to that?



The screen you see isn’t (shouldn’t) really be deciding anything.

I don’t work for Tesla, but as I understand it their architecture is largely one (effectively a) PC per quadrant.

There are sub modules of course; but as I understand it they are kept pretty dumb relative to the larger controllers.
