Tesla ruft heimlich Cybertruck-Batterien zurück

If this caused Vegas, not so secret anymore.

“Tesla recalls are OTA updates!!1” apologists in shambles

So secret that people discovered

It’s not a secret anymore lol

I think it’s funny how people mostly make fun of how it looks, but the real embarrassing thing is just what a poor quality product it is, with many problems that’d be unacceptable in a cheap car with no bells and whistles. It’s just poorly designed with regards to important things like avoiding and surviving car crashes and getting yourself to a destination reliably

Now, what would happen if any other company swapped out an engine BEFORE a recall was issued?? They would get accolades

It’s so secret that we all know about it.

Privacy for corporations and owners but none for us. 

How is it not a class action lawsuit that auto manufacturers have a “secret” that might have killed people and meanwhile, they feel entitled to send all telemetry data back to their office from the car you bought. 

Yes, some of these new cars actually track your movements down to when you recline your seat. 

Temperature elevated. Seat reclined for 25 minutes outside your secretary’s condo. 

They know about that blow job but we didn’t know the battery could blow. 

I can’t imagine how we allow these companies to continue to push these batteries on us. Most battery manufacturers run at 30-50% production scrap rate. Followed by massive recalls when they make it into commercial vehicles.

I know this is a bit pedantic because the headline is intentionally and obviously hyperbolic. But all recalls have to be registered and tracked with NHTSA and by definition cannot be secret. There are lots and lots of bad parts being replaced under warranty across the industry and that does not equal a recall, by definition. If the problem rises to a certain level, NHTSA will be up their ass and has the power to coerce a recall if the company is not doing their duty. If this is a big problem you could expect a recall to be done at some point. Source – experience in the automotive industry and regulations.

What makes it a secret? Isn’t a recall, a recall?

Tesla starting the year off with a bang already I see.

They’re already calling it an act of terrorism, which conveniently doesn’t require manufacturing investigations. It’s a deflection of automobile accountability!
