Before that experience I used to laugh off the idea of a weaponized mp3 file or people taking control of cars remotely. Now I think about that auto-boot USB port and the fact my driver's side door is a toggle to God-knows-what.

She brought it to the dealer, who initially claimed it had to be done by the dealer, which to their dismay wasn't true. They had no idea what to do, and my coworker ended up talking to the tech, looking at the screens they figured it out -- another bug that froze the update process if the battery was below some level. They charged the battery, everything finished, and the car was back.
She ended up getting a part time gig with them helping folks with these problems, which may become a bigger thing.
But what really, really annoys me, is I have to push buttons on the screen to update/fix the time.. How the hell does it not have NTP, or get a radio signal, etc?

Given that leap seconds have been added at a rate of approximately 1 every 1.6 years, we are still good for another 376 years.

Someone put together an app which allows you to select the hacks you want, then generates a few scripts that you write to a USB drive. You then put that in the car and turn it on, and it patches the system:
You can brick the system, so be careful. I haven't touched my system yet, and I wouldn't do so w/o understanding exactly what each of these hacks do.
Bigger car companies prefer stability over features and don't design everything in-house like Tesla. Their shareholders also expect them to turn profits, which leads to risk adversion and slower product cycles.
