To err is human. Updates of a Tesla brand car, driven by its driver, traffic stopped for almost an hour in a large shopping street in the city center of Sète (Hérault) on Wednesday early in the morning, according to information Free Lunch.
“Every street is blocked,” a shopkeeper on Rue Mario-Roustan noted to Le Parisien. One of his neighbors admits that this is often seen in front of their house: “It’s a traffic jam here, daily problems… There, we don’t understand why to be honest, even though that we are not in a hurry. ,” he said.
The explanation seems simple, however, even if the problem is relatively new in the automotive world. Elon Musk’s electric cars, full of technology, need updates that last up to ten minutes often, to improve performance and safety. The Car Driver’s Guide even recommends “installing software updates as soon as they become available for your vehicle.”
“You can’t drive”
The driver of Tesla, driving through the streets of Sète, will therefore have jumped at the opportunity of the reduction to launch his update … without reading the guide to the end. The manufacturer explains that “for safety reasons, you cannot drive your vehicle during the installation phase”. In other words: the car is forced to stop.
In its guide, Tesla even writes in a red box: “Do not try to use the vehicle while the software is installed. Vehicle functions, including certain security systems and opening and closing doors, may be limited or disabled (…) and may damage the vehicle. »
To avoid this kind of situation, car drivers should plan to stop for a long time in a place that does not interrupt traffic and has a good connection – when the car is charging in your garage, for example . Which is not the case for the owner of this electric car in the streets of Sète.
