So, a friend of mine and I have determined why Elon Musk is afraid of AI. As it turns out, they must have included AI in the new P85D. Let me explain...
I left my car in the garage for over a day. It has been sitting untouched, on charge, connected to WiFi.
Previously, I set an alert on my router machine to email me whenever the car used over a certain amount of bandwidth in a set time, alerting me to when the car downloads an update. Worked pretty well, until today.
I received the alert, but I can't get to the car until later to check for an update. So, was looking through traffic logs (I keep the last 24 hours of network traffic logged). Turns out it wasn't an update. At some point in the middle of the day the car started downloading songs from Slacker on its own! And at a normal pace, as if the songs were playing through. It managed to download over 100 songs in the past 24 hours, and use over 0.5GB of bandwidth...
Now, I must assume the car is possessed by an evil AI that likes the slacker Hard Rock station. This is the most logical reason...
... or it could just be a software bug.
I emailed Tesla about it, since this never happened with either P85 I've had (my traded-in or my fiances). It would likely suck for Tesla if it does this while on 3G and they pay for bandwidth...
