But the software updates are the majority of the recalls here.
Comment on Tesla Identified As Most Recalled Car Brand, Mercedes & Toyota Least
WantsToPetYourKitty@lemmy.world 11 months agoYou don’t issue a physical recall over a software glitch though. 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

steering wheels come off
Plus they have enough room for mother-in-law. Elon has no good car ideas

Yeah there’s definitely been some aggregious recall issues, but the problem is the stars 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
