Except that the car contains old (active) firmware, and older (inactive) firmware, so the only way they can create a patch like you describe is to create a custom update which will match the current active firmware, the last firmware which was on the device before last upgrade, and of course the new firmware to go out. Is that what they are doing?Understand that similar firmware versions cannot differ dramatically. And Tesla came up with a beautiful solution as part of the OTA updates - when compiling the update package on the server, take into account the versions and composition of the old and new firmware, thus trying to minimize the amount of data transmitted over the air and, in some cases, significantly reducing the installation time for new software versions
