sometimes it’s the small details that let you know a company is still learning about a new process or technique.
when I take my Tesla’s into server - the technicians can place the car into “service” mode - which takes the vehicle “offline” from the app - so that the owner can’t interfere with the work the technician is doing. This is a small detail but necessary because the vehicle will generate notifications and such while it’s being rebooted, worked on, or software patches are being applied. To me as a software engineer this makes total sense and seems a reasonable and necessary feature of the vehicle’s software.
from what I can tell (and I can tell a lot) Porsche has yet to realize this and my Taycan is 100% online while they have been diagnosing the vehicle for the past week - it’s odd to receive notifications for a vehicle that you know is in service.
