> Tesla. Rivian. All cut from the same cloth.

I'm not aware of any Tesla OTA updates bricking the infotainment system. At least since I've been paying attention. I don't see them quite as similar as you suggest.




There have been plenty.

Two examples of many.

I'm not aware of any fleet-wide issues that accidentally bricked Teslas, but as one-offs they do happen; and unlike this Rivian update, a botched Tesla OTA generally leaves the car undriveable and needing to be towed. These Rivians will at least still drive, as long as you don't need fancy extraneous luxury features like a...speedometer.
