SomeJoe7777, a closer analogy would be Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501. The captain reset the flight computer on the Airbus a320 mid flight resulting in a refreshing dip into the ocean.

ha ha ha. That's great. Ok, sorry, let's change it from Murphy's Law to Elon's LawEh, I did the update 2 days ago from 1500
Miles away. I’m on vacation in Mexico; Tessie is in my driveway. Worst case, I fix it when I get home. No big deal.
Edit: PS - re: Murphy’s Law ... “I represent that remark!”
Pretty sure they warn against it on the "update now" screen.
There are plenty of products that you wouldn't think needed to have proper use explained...but it's 2019. someone has used every product wrong at least once, necessitating some dumb sounding warning labels.
is it any wonder why we can't have nice things.
First someone does something really unsafe they were specifically warned not to do.
Then some other idiot makes a video of it and sticks in on youtube to prove how much more important views are than not being an idiot.
Logical conclusion will be that someone else will try the same thing but crash the car then try to sue Tesla.
My faith in humanity is waning fast.
Assuming that anyone will ever read (and heed) a warning message is virtually the worst solution.
Milli and I were driving along in Arid Zona when we got a notification about an update. We weren't doing anything. Sure. Go ahead and update.
It did. No issues, no worries, no problems. I can see no reason why an update can't happen while one is driving. If there were an issue, the firmware should block it from happening. As I've had my Teslas update whenever and wherever over near seven years and a cumulative 180,000 miles, I think I see irrational fear or unreasoning doubt here. Obviously one can update with no problems while driving.
Tell me about the time you had to pull over because the car quit driving during an update and I might believe you. Otherwise, it's all FUD.
Well, with your name, I could be hesitant...Would you really want to be driving while a life-critical system is updating?

A much better solution is for software devs to make their software behave better when the user takes it off the "happy path".
And absolutely no 'big props' to Tesla, in fact, it's the opposite. They should fully disable the ability to drive the car during an update specifically because any driving-critical module or component could be updated, including the inverter, BMS, autopilot, brakes, etc. Just because were able to do something once doesn't mean that it was designed that way or that it's safe to do in the future.
And of course you wouldn’t utter a word of complaint if one update caused your car to stall on the highway or at a traffic light.Milli and I were driving along in Arid Zona when we got a notification about an update. We weren't doing anything. Sure. Go ahead and update.
