Few people expect a routine shopping trip to end in a state of automotive limbo they can’t escape from. But that's where one Volkswagen owner says she found herself after her EV began installing a software update, and apparently wouldn't move an inch until it was finished.
In a TikTok clip from creator @onelucky_wife, she and her husband find themselves playing the waiting game in the car that’s parked outside a barbecue restaurant and essentially twiddling their thumbs until the unexpected software update is completed. After more than an hour and a half, their patience had been worn down to nothing.
“This bastard decides it wants to do an update, and we can’t leave. We can’t do anything,” she wrote in the caption of clip that’s been viewed more than 8,300 times.

The creator later elaborated in the comments that the software update began after she and her husband finished a late lunch and returned to the vehicle. Instead of heading home, they were left sitting in one of the most conspicuous spots in the parking lot with little to do but watch the update inch along.
