If they could fix these issues via OTA then they wouldn’t be forced to do physical recalls. They’ve had windshields fly out of their frames at highway speed, steering wheels come off, catastrophic lower ball joint separation, vehicles leaving their factory with missing brake pads…software updates only take you so far
Yeah there’s definitely been some aggregious recall issues, but the problem is the stats include minor things that only required a quick OTA, so it skews the numbers awkwardly and means we can’t properly judge the real problems they had
If they separated the numbers, we might see that either Tesla has very few real recalls, Tesla actually does have a lot of real recalls but also happens to have software ones, or it’s about normal
And without separating all we can do is guess
Plus they have enough room for mother-in-law. Elon has no good car ideas
But the software updates are the majority of the recalls here.
Oh for sure. Definitely not disagreeing with that
