Updating performance via OTA is a genuine strength of electrification. With an internal combustion engine, drastically rewriting the power characteristics after the fact just isn't practical. Stark Varg being able to add features via download without a dealer visit proves the vehicle runs on a software platform. Raising value without changing the hardware -- that's a rational form of evolution, no question.

A benefit unique to electrics, something a gas bike just can't pull off — I'd call this a genuine strength.

They say performance improves with just a software update, but surely you can't get past the hardware's limits — makes me wonder if it's overstated.

Getting a performance boost via OTA without even visiting a dealer — evolving your bike like it's a smartphone, that's the future.
