We all read the stories about the computer sleuths finding tidbits of information on the new Tesla models or features before they roll out. If I recall there are already hints about the CT with some off-road sensors etc.
What go me wondering about all this was the potential model line up for CT. At some point managing the code for the soon to be millions of Teslas for their 15+ year lifespans might be difficult and overhead intensive and this might become a determining factor in model variation going forward.
Does Tesla have a single base code for all models produced? How much of the CT code will be shared with the Y? It appears to me there are already 1000's of combinations of motors, batteries, heat pumps, seat controls etc. in the Tesla fleet. It is fairly obvious each build series have it's own inputs or variables which would be fairly easy to manage in itself. So not every model gets its own unique code.
Things like FSD subscriptions even access to extra power can be turned on remotely without a complete wipe and upload of code if not mistaken. Torque vectoring will probably be a fundamental change to the code. Will it be in the code for all models and turned on/off with a program switch, or will all models with torque vectoring get separately managed software version?
