But although a crude platform for doing it GM has used OnStar to download updates. But as you’ve pointed out what’s coming is much bigger. UltiFi?

Yes, sometimes the updates are fluffy, like at holidays time they sent an update so you car could be a musical light show. It is smart from a marketing perspective to keep the attention. Some updates are bug fixes. Some have great features like Brake Hold, which didn’t exist when I first bought the car. Think about that, Brake Hold was added via an OTA update. You just can’t do that with traditional vehicle systems.
Another one was the backup camera. At first it only displayed the rear camera when backing up then they added the option to see the side cameras in a composited view. But yes, they do add other stuff like games, Hulu, Tiktok, etc. but people like that shit.
The Tesla the interior is average, the build quality is average at best but the powertrain, charging network, software and UI are fantastic.
