They may exist, but that&#x27;s not the fundamental difference between Tesla and &lt;enter most all other brands&gt;.  The first difference is long-term buyer delight and is clearly shown in the first sentence of the linked article: &quot;Model S is designed to to keep getting better over time.&quot;  Everyone else&#x27;s stance?  That was last years model - if you want the new UI and&#x2F;or new features buy the current model year car.  There is, most often, zero expectation for car buyers today to expect upgrades or enhancements that are as drastic and as positively interesting as how Tesla approaches it.<p>The second, and likely more critical differentiator (IMO), is security.  Mr. Musk would not accept public shaming of such magnitude like this:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;gm-took-5-years-fix-full-takeover-hack-millions-onstar-cars&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;gm-took-5-years-fix-full-takeov...</a><p>And I only pick on GM here since, well, you work there.  When it comes to software in cars Tesla treats it as a true part of the vehicle engineering.  Others  seems to still treat it as an afterthought - and then the question starts to linger: how good is the software in all of the other vendors &quot;features&quot;?  How much QA have they done with regard to lane keep, blind spot, adaptive cruise, etc?<p>I don&#x27;t own a Tesla, I really wish I did, but if I had to place a wager on a car manufacturers QA process and ability to build fault tolerant vehicle systems I would pick Tesla to oust the competition handily at this point.  While I realize it&#x27;s a subjective matter, and there&#x27;s really no good way to compare, the directive of the company seems pointed in a more apt approach than others.<p>$0.02.
