The renowned electric vehicle (EV) maker of tech billionaire Elon Musk has changed how upgrades and improvements are rolled out to cars these days.

According to the website of Tesla, software updates offer its customers new features and upgrades, "making your car safer and more capable over time."

It has changed the landscape of automobiles. In fact, other carmakers are now following in rolling out over-the-air updates on their vehicles, which Musk-owned firm is known for.
