Misleading, they were required to "recall" cars when they put out simple software fixes.

A recall is a recall.

Most are OTA software updates, no service trip required. Rivian will have a lot of these too.

Pretty standard among all car manufacturers. Ford recalled 3 million vehicles in a week last year.

Possibly. That remains to be seen. Tesla seems to be forced into recalling vehicles instead of just doing the right thing voluntarily. The recall this week regarding FSD is the latest example of that.

Just because the recall can be fixed with a software update makes it no less important, especially with vehicles that are so dependent on software for all kinds of features and safety.

It's almost as if recalls are common.

Rivian recalled every vehicle they had delivered. Ford has recalled millions, Hyundai/Kia, GM, every automaker has recalled massive numbers of their vehicles. Merely having a recall alone isn't a big deal.

Just to make sure we all understand, just because it’s a recall doesn’t mean it was forced. Many companies issue a recall before they get forced because it’s the right thing to do. I doubt many of these recalls you listed were forced.

This was the case with the bolt on all rivians a few months ago. They hurried and made a recall to make sure there were not any other issues.

Many people don’t realize that many of the R1Ts were also recalled and had to have a panel clip removed from the rear headlined on each side for the rear passenger airbag to allow it to deploy more easily. This is just quickly done while a truck is having a quick service for other things.

I just don’t want to make everything Tesla does bad just because some people don’t like them (for what ever reason they don’t like them)

I am aware of that. Most of the recalls listed were mandatory. The recent FSD recall was voluntary. Tesla had 19 recalls in 2022 and affected 3.7 million vehicles.

That is kinda my point. Consider the latest FSD recall of 362,00 vehicles. Tesla knows FSD is not safe yet they put that out there for people to use. Tesla vehicles themselves are some of the safest on the road but FSD when tested will frequently hit child sized mannequins and strollers. It’s a choice.

Tesla wouldn't be so loose and fast with people's lives if they were liable for injuries or deaths that occured with the systems active.

Enough with the Tesla clickbait. Ford recalled 8 million in 2022 alone; 500,000 alone for ACTIVE safety issues that caused at least 20 SUVs to catch fire.

This was proven to be a staged video / Tesla defamation attempt and autopilot was not even active at the time IIRC.

You are free to start a thread about Ford’s recalls if you wish. Or GM or VW for that matter.

If you don’t care for the FSD test I referred to, there is plenty of additional evidence it’s not safe. That recall actually had nothing to do with that specifically.

Also, the raw footage of the test showed FSD was actually engaged:

I never saw the raw footage, thanks for linking that. IMO Tesla needs to rebrand FSD as I don't think there would be as much controversy if it was called 'GigaPilot'. I wonder how many other manufacturers' enhanced assist programs go under the same scrutiny? Ps I'm not a Tesla fanboy by any means, I just think the slander against Tesla has gone unchecked far too long.

 

[Cosmacelf]

Tesla was just under scrutiny for various FSD problems resulting in a recall. If it routinely ran over children, you’d think the government agency would have noticed and done something about it.
