Reply to comment by [deleted] in China regulator says Tesla recalls more than 80,000 cars by MrsSynchronie

I would rather have 3 OTA software updates than the recent Ford recall which can result in a fire starting within the engine.

Not to lawyers, sometimes accidents liabilities due to faulty equipment is less Than the cost of recalls so they just let shit hit the fan and pay off families.

this has lead to more than a few deaths of known issues that could have been recalled and fixed.

Ford just recalled 2,900 of their Lightning EV pickup truck because of a TPMS fault that could lead to tire failure. They've only sold 8,700 of them, so that's around one-third of the total production run.
