Reply to comment by aneeta96 in Tesla recalls over 80,000 China-made, imported cars due to software, seat belt issues by 1000xcoins

You realize 80k is a small recall right? Ford just recalled 634k today too for example.

Ford made around 17 million cars in 2021

Tesla made just shy of 1 million in 2021

Obviously not perfect since they both didn't start making cars in 2021 but I ain't digging that deep and Ford has always been a bigger manufacturer.

Needless to say 80k × 17 is more than 634k. So Tesla recalled a higher percent of Teslas. Tesla's recall was bigger for them.

What the percentage of cars that Tesla recalled vs Ford?

Ford sold about 4 times more cars than Tesla in 2021. Even less than that so far in 2022.

Multiply 80k by 4. Is the number bigger or smaller than 634k?

I thought you were lying. But there was actually a recall.

Here is a link from Reuters

Don’t worry. I’ll get downvoted anyway. Narrative > facts

Well, I wouldn’t probably say 80k as a small number, recall wise. It only seem when compared to a huge recall by ford.

80k cars seems like a huge quality issue at a particular plant that has been going on for a couple of months at least. Well not that I know anything about this particular instance.
