Xealous posted:some of what I wrote runs on the factory line - at the time we started the model s program, which has not changed to this day, we fake the backend to install and validate firmware as the car moves down the line. a tech runs over to the car, plugs an eth cable in diag and dumps an image on the car using curl and a tui app I wrote using python. as the car moves down the line it is installing firmware for about an hour. if that station for any reason can’t talk to the PKI system, erp, or a ruby webapp it halts the line can't you flash the storage before its installed in a car?

Xealous posted:Tesla never bothered to flash those things ahead of time before assembly this is the thing, like i work with boards that have many devices on them that have firmware and they're all flashed well before the board is installed in anything if not before even being soldered down

Xealous posted:they got smart eventually - model 3 does do this now, but doing that at scale with all the components for a car is a challenge when you have it being done with stations running yocto images and perl uh we literally do the same thing; well, yocto images and python tesla isn't the first to solder down SOMs running embedded linux and a bunch of MCUs hanging off an i2c/canbus/whatever line

Xealous posted:while tesla should be given credit for updating the car over the air to fix issues, that's also any connected car's biggest weakness - you're one exploit away (or malicious employee with access) from remote root. are these all done over cellular? the network itself provides a lot of security in that case at least. of course until someone gets your password to control center/command center

Endless Mike posted:selling demo cars is very common, and they do, in fact, count as "new" since they've never had an initial say, but dealerships will give steep discounts on them, since they'll usually have a few hundred miles on them. something tells me tesla is not doing that. this one wasn't new though; theres actually a pretty big legal difference between a new car and a used car. apparently this one had been titled and registered so its no longer new you can buy a "new" car with 200 miles on it, this wasn't a "new" car by law though

fart-powered cars posted:yeah true - i'd be far, _far_ more worried about autopilot (any vendor's, not just tesla), than some dumb infotainment firmware. as i said, tesla does follow the safety guidelines - you can drive the car safely with infotainment down, but the creature comforts are gone like ac good news though is that the jeep won't work long enough for an exploit to be useful
