I'd recommend folks watch the video – it's fascinating. The truck gets OTA updates through your phone and not some LTE modem. It doesn't have one. They moved all car management including OBD-like functionality to the phone, too, which I think is awesome. This is how I want the interior design philosophy of manual controls to be digitized – with digital control. I'd pay $10k more for physical buttons, though. | ||||||||

Only if the phone app is open source, or at least the api, alllll of it, is public so no one needs the default app nor is limited by it. Alternatively, maybe the overall simplicity will mean that a 3rd party full computer replacement would be feasible even without any official help from the manufacturer. | ||||||||

I’d be good with no updates. Ie make it simple enough that there shouldn’t need to be updates. And if there’s something major maybe you download it onto a thumb drive and plug it in. I’m tired of my vehicle being changed without my consent. | ||||||||

Oh sweet. Delicious. Very reassuring. Was really hoping this thing was going to be device agnostic. My 2015 car had 3g "smart" features that no longer work since 3g has been sunset in the US. Awesome to see forward thinking of a smart feature-set that can be updated with a module you'll likley already have an upgrade path for. | ||||||||

Ugh. Yuck. Very disappointing. Was really hoping this thing wasn't going to be phone dependent. | ||||||||
