That's such a defeatist attitude. Memory leaks aren't inevitable and there
are lots of tools to find them. It's the result of shoddy, lazy programming,
not some fact of nature. Howevercomplicated you think the Tesla software
is, the Linux OS is much bigger project and more complicated and luckily Linus
has always had a low tolerance for stupid excuses.

Yes, you don't HAVE to reboot it. Same thing for your PC or phone, but all
modern software on complex systems with a large OS will have some amount of
memory leaks, so it's always a good idea to do an occasional reboot to
clear things up. I've seen Tesla uptimes without reboots of over 2 years,
but they are usually running like molasses by then.
Comparing the level of compute in a Zoe to the amount in a recent Tesla is
like comparing the Apollo Guidance computer to a modern PC. The
infotainment (main screen) in a Tesla is, in fact essentially a PC running
Linux. The autopilot computer adds a level of compute several orders of
magnitude over that.
