So I stopped updating my software after two terrible updates gave me restart bugs in 2018. I've had 2 updates since then. Once where I accidentally approved one via the phone app with it just sitting in my pocket. The other Tesla did when my MCU1 died in 2018.

Considering each and every update makes my non-autopilot car worse, and after Model 3 the updates seem to target a smaller landscape display marginalizing us 2 screen, portrait display owners.

I've felt greatly justified in that decision after Tesla has been "protecting" customers by slowing supercharging and reducing pack capacity on older cars. I have a 2012 85kWh (A rev) car, that got a new 85kWh HV pack in 2016 (H rev?).

But now I'm being coerced to update. I call bullshit. Tesla really should provide legacy support for their cars, for longer than 7 years. Am I just crazy or is this just a ploy for Tesla to get me to update software and have me "protected" from their battery packs that don't do what they were sold to do?
