    They really should disaggregate recalls fixed with OTA updates from recalls that need a physical intervention. Obviously Teslas almost always need an OTA update

      100%, this number is skewed by the fact that tesla will basically “recall” for any minor issue because it’s a simple software update, I imagine a lot of companies try to avoid recalls as aggressively and for as long as possible because it’s a significantly bigger burden on them

      I say this as someone who drives a Tesla but is still extremely judgemental of Tesla

      Intended to be a friendly reminder

      Tesla owner ≠ muskonite

      The cars literally changed the way they evaluate safety when the model s was released when i read about them in car and driver magazine many moons ago

      Im writing this only in response to your edit. Because it was getting unearable on reddit any time someone mentioning they own a tesla and enjoy it, the people who hate elon come brigade and just shit all over someone because they bought a car they liked and admited they own one.

      Can we just please remember that everything isnt always connected the way you assume it is. Give people the benefit of the doubt, and only call out what is stated and not just tangentially connected?

      Ive been enjoying lemmy so far, and i have hope it will not become the cesspool other spaces have, but it wont happen if we cant agree to disagree and let other people be without accusing them of everything you fear or just hate without them indicating they are what you fear or hate.

    Recall for a Tesla: send an ota update and the user doesn’t even notice it

    Recall for other brands: send a snail mail letter asking to give the car to a dealer for an unspecified amount of time in order to do a replacement
