Indeed. One way to demonstrate strength would be to adhere to one of the best practices of release management, which would be to include release notes *with every release*, no matter how trivial.
Note the iOS App Store. Won't see a release there without at the very least, the cursory "bug fixes and minor performance enhancements".
For you see, there is value in consistency, and value in even the sentence fragment above. Why? Because if I see said fragment, I know not to expect, for example, a markedly different TACC experience, or, for that matter, any significant change to the driving experience whatsoever. This will start to matter. Again, there is value in stating what something is *not*.
And no, there are no liability issues, intellectual property issues, or any of the other occasionally-espoused handwringing hokum associated with the simple adherence to enterprise-level best practice.
Firmware releases aside, my biggest concerns going forward are related to variable service experiences and expectations. Tesla pulls a lot of new Service hires from dealerships, and then this tends to snowball through referrals and such. Bad habits are harder to break than no habits.
So... now before every service visit, I photograph the car inside and out from end to end with as much rigor as the service advisor displays by feeling under the edges of the car for damage. Had I started doing this earlier, I would have saved myself the upcoming expense of replacing the dash aluminum bezel/trim pieces - one of which costs $361 to replace (the one around the MCU). No idea what the horizontal one above that costs to replace (that was bent slightly during the LTE retrofit). Nor the black plastic piece below the B-pillar that was nicked during B-pillar replacement.
Could not care less that there are dealerships out there that are just as bad, as some will undoubtedly opine. You don't measure excellence from the bottom up.
Meanwhile, I have complete confidence that the supercharger network will continue to improve both in the contexts of density as well as distance, and of course the car gets better with every production cycle and week. In theory, the car will continue to improve until less service is required, *net* of new flaws introduced. We're just not quite there yet. Close, though - as it stands today, many people have trouble-free cars and don't see the inside of a SvC but for their optional annual servicings.
The best part is that once some sustained/sustainable level of production is reached in a few years, the rough edges - up with which many of us have patiently put, will get smoothed out to the benefit of all concerned.
...and that's our personal differences. It appears the detail isn't as important to you having purchased three Tesla, which sends the message to Elon all is good. We have different expectations and desires in our rides it appears. I get it, and that it's fine by me.
