What's worse is that many of the errors are logged as "permanent", which isn't truly permanent but it means you can't reset them. The car will do so, if the error remains clear for some number of drive cycles.

The good news is that the errors are generally because the modules reset after they're programmed, and of course during the reset they don't respond. This freaks out the other modules, who start barking like a pack of dogs because they can't find their friend(s). It'd be comical, if it weren't for the telemetry module, which promptly phones home to Regensburg to report.

Anyway, it's all harmless, if you don't go too deep into expert mode.
