So...if the car is working fine before a long road trip....how does one prevent OTA updates to mitigate any possible update issues while on the road trip?

I could not edit my original post anymore....I want to paste my update on the first page so people do not need to read 7page to get the result. Anyone know how to do it ?
Thanks
Thanks for the update. It is good to know if you are seeing wonky things after an update, that there might be bigger issues. Software updates are one of Teslas greatest advantages and one of its biggest disadvantages at the same time.

If I am ever crazy enough to jump out of a plane you bet one of my questions in orientation is how do you verify your parachute is good?
I mean it’s brand new off the line and should be fine.... right?
When I go splat, kids can flush my ashes down the toilet and get 2020 Roadsters for themselves.
For sure I won’t be held liable because that would be victim blaming right?
Society has no concept it seems about “protecting yourself at all times”.
Did it matter who’s fault it is? Only for damages and lawsuits, doesn’t change I’m dead.
That definitely sucks. I think Tesla should give your car free supercharging for life. It would be a nice gesture and probably wouldn’t end up costing them very much. I think it’s unreasonable to think that you should have pre-checked your car’s supercharging ability before you left on your road trip. It was charging in your garage, so why would you suspect it wouldn’t charge at a Supercharger.
Unfortunately, no. I have only seen a few in my travels, but I’ve only been to about 75 SCs.Quick question, does every supercharge station have a regular L2 wall charge?
As someone who used to be very active on Priuschat until mid-2013 and still has a gen 2 Prius (06 model year), the bolded part and timeframe is NOT true.The Gen 2 Prius has major issues with its main battery and I think it's brake master cylinder. These issues occur as early as 5 years after the model year. I'm lucky that I lasted 12 years, ~170k miles before I needed to replace my main Prius battery. When the issues occur....folks will post....not many...but those posts were indicative of a widespread issue with the Prius Gen 2.
Ok...so not 5 years...but don't you worry...you will have a problem with your Gen 2 Battery...the folks that replaced my battery have had LOTS of Gen 2 Prius customers. Brake actuator warranty was only good till the end of 2017. My Prius had been extremely reliable...up until the main battery failed.As someone who used to be very active on Priuschat until mid-2013 and still has a gen 2 Prius (06 model year), the bolded part and timeframe is NOT true.
The HV battery was also warranted for 10 years/150K miles in CA and CARB emission states. Sure, once you're past 10 years or 150K miles or past say 8 years (warranty is shorter outside CARB states) in a hot climate or have hills in your commute, things can get dicey.
There was a brake actuator warranty extension: Brake actuator "warranty extension" from Toyota.
I have not had problems with either and my Prius is past 12.5 years old but only has ~81K miles on it.
Prius has an excellent reliability record in Consumer Reports across all model years. Over the years, virtually every model year has been able to maintain that. The example issues I posted with the 3 were on cars that were only a few months old.
No, you should be mad at yourself for buying a GMC truck...
...I’ll show myself out now
My brother used to skydive. Unfortunatley, that is one operation where you are going to be totally dependent on another to make sure the job was right. Parachute packing requires a certification, so when you are doing your first jump you can’t pack or check your own. He did have one chute fail to open on one jump (I think it came out twisted), but luckily his reserve did work.
I will never skydive.

Despite some major design flaws -- including poor performance in both hot climates and high altitudes -- the original Prius became a popular car in Japan, prompting Toyota to introduce the fuel-sipping subcompact sedan to a worldwide audience.
I feel like I'm a broken record for stating this but I guess I'm going to have repeat basically what I wrote before + some more.Yes, we've all seen some of the issues people have had with the Model 3, now please let me know what percentage of the fleet that accounts for. It's relatively meaningless to point to a few high profile examples and extrapolate that to the entire fleet. There have been how many of them delivered again?
As for Model X, as an owner, I've had "reliability" issues with it insofar as the very things that make it advanced/interesting have required addressing:
1. Automatic Charge port needed to be adjusted (ZOMG so unreliable)
2. Screen had yellowing in the borders, which had zero impact on functionality (Similar screen unavailable on any make it's compared to)
3. Shudder under heavy acceleration (An annoyance that had no impact on functionality, but closest thing to a reliability issue)
4. FWD sensor needed to be reseated in its mount
Getting pretty tired of "reliability" issues encompassing everything from having a FWD sensor adjusted to an actual failure of a DU. The Model X has the opportunity for more reliability issues because there are more complex components/hardware that can fail, compared to other vehicles in its class. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
That said, I also wouldn't be surprised that early Model 3 VINs experience more "reliability" issues...but maybe we should wait for more information before making hasty generalizations.
I would never recommend a gen 1 Prius at this point in time. Also, the newest of which would be 15 years old. I was wary of recommending one when gen 2 (model years 04 to 09) was the latest and by the time gen 3 (model year 2010 to 2015) had been shipping for a few years, I'd not recommend it the gen 1 at all. Seriously, look at Consumer Reports reliability rating on the Prius. Surprisingly, their web site goes much further back than what they have in print. They have 5 different icons representing worst to best. Every model year from '01 to '16 has what's denoted by best (call this 5/5) except '01 and '06, which receive a 4/5.Again, this is the problem. You're comparing a Prius, literally the epitome of an appliance (no frills whatsoever) from a legacy automaker, to a Model 3.
For reference, some issues associated with the 1st Gen Prius:
Is The 2001-2003 Toyota Prius A Good Used Car Buy?
You can, of course, disagree with me without offering a rebuttal, of course.
Yeah, sorta. It might fail on me given that it's over 12.5 years old and past its 10 year/150K mile warranty.Ok...so not 5 years...but don't you worry...you will have a problem with your Gen 2 Battery...the folks that replaced my battery have had LOTS of Gen 2 Prius customers.

Also, to add more data points re: Prius HV batteries: https://web.archive.org/web/2014022...brid-battery-reliability-gets-worse/index.htm. Unfortunately, this survey was done in year 2013, but at least includes some gen 1 Priuses that passed the 10 year mark.Ok...so not 5 years...but don't you worry...you will have a problem with your Gen 2 Battery...the folks that replaced my battery have had LOTS of Gen 2 Prius customers. ...
