There was no extremeness in what I said. You made a statement among other statements, and it seemed like it was stated pretty crisply to stand on its own.Okay, if you take one sentence out of the two paragraphs, then fine. Disagree with the sentence. But no, using my logic doesn't mean you can have no objective evaluation by a 3rd party of any software project ever undertaken. I didn't say that. That's taking it to the extreme. That kind of extreme statement is great for scoring points in a debate in front of a college crowd, but not so great for an actual discussion about issues.
I'm disappointed, too, like many people here. But not in the software we've seen so far.
As I stated before, I think the releases should have reasonable cadence and the volume of features in them should be adjusted accordingly. How long did we wait for the suspension "change back" (kinda)? How long do we have to wait for 6.0?
"The big mega release that you have to wait forever for and includes a dozen different things" is a bad model IMO. Tesla seems, at times, to have adopted this model and I find it frustrating and counterproductive for both Tesla and owners.
They have an update mechanism that allows them to push out fixes quickly. They should be able to put out features regularly without bundling them into a giant deliverable. There is no "model year" for the hardware -- the adjustments just roll into the product line. Why is the software delivery more rigid and blocky than the hardware delivery?
