The car uses the connected WiFi to download several gigabytes of data every month, but ultimately does not apply any updates.  This is a serious safety issue, since it prevents all future software update recalls from being available to this vehicle.  May 15, 2024: Tesla failed to fix this issue through remote diagnosis, and requested a service center visit.  Tesla engineers diagnosed the vehicle at the Burlingame CA Service Center, and spoke to me on the phone that the root cause was a recent firmware upgrade that has permanently bricked the ECU unit, which now needs to be replaced.  Since this ECU unit is not user-accessible or user-serviceable, there is no way for this to have been caused by the customer.  Tesla quoted $2048 to fix it, out of pocket, even though this damage was not caused by the customer, or related to regular wear-and-tear, but (as acknowledged by Tesla) caused due to a faulty firmware update issued by Tesla themselves.  May 17, 2024: After pointing this out to them, Tesla managers called me, offering to discount the repair by 25%.  Many similar complaints about the exact same part (ECU unit) and the same mode of failure (bricked after buggy firmware update) can be found shared online by others. This is a systemic issue, and not a one-off failure for my car alone.  [XXX]  [XXX]  [XXX]   All I am requesting is that Tesla fix this issue at their own cost and make my purchase whole, but Tesla has not honored that request so far.  Thank you!
