PERSPECTIVE: Since January 2022, @Tesla has had 21 "recalls" for 4,132,303 cars (some counted multiple times). 99% of those cars were fixed using a software update that didn’t require customers to go to a dealership or replace parts.
Meanwhile, Fiat-Chrysler, Kia, Hyundai, VW & BMW had no software fixes. Ford, Nissan, GM & Mercedes fixed 1%, 2%, 32% and 17%, respectively, of their recalled cars with software updates.
Like @elonmusk said, the word ‘recall’ for an over-the-air software update is anachronistic, plain wrong and contributes to negative and misleading headlines.
