Yeah only with a Tesla you don’t have to drive to a Tesla shop and wait for an hour or even days, you get an OTA update.
It be better if they distinguished between both types of recall, it appears they are grouped together.
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
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
That's not a benefit really. What if they send a bad update.
Hasn’t happened as of yet.
What if a legacy manufacturer doesn’t install a corrective part appropriately and exacerbates the issue?
