At least with Microsoft, and a lesser extent Apple, I can so "nope don't want the updates" and I won't get them. With Tesla it sounds like you never have a choice, including ones that disable previously working functions.

You are right though, most software companies are moving that way, always connected, always subject to the whims of the programmers.
