It can be dangerous, though, if sufficient testing isn't applied to every release. Nothing like having a critical bug that could affect your daily drive.

It will be interesting however to see how this plays out over time. The auto industry is built on the notion of obsolescence. From minor tweaks to special editions to enhanced powertrains, the marketing departments at every automaker are expert in making the customer feel like their existing car has just been bested by the one that was just released. How will Tesla manage as it matures? The could perpetually update the software so that older cars can do everything that newer ones can. Or they can take an approach like Apple where updates are frequently available but at some point, older models no longer benefit updates (other than ones related to security or stability).
