The "I don't understand" defense is not a defense and will fall flat. Can you imagine if someone shot a person and then claimed that they didn't understand how to use a gun and so they accidentally killed a person and then proceeded to accidentally cover up the "accident"?

I think if they go down this route it will be a very quick guilty verdict. Stupidity is not a defense, but I agree with you that it's most likely their only option.

Ford just recalled 634,000 vehicles for fire issues.

GM: 2021 had 15+ world wide recalls. Unfortunately it's not easy to find a source that allows you to view all of GM's 2022 recalls but just by googling you will find out that in 2022 they recalled 340,000 on their SUVs, and there were many other recalls to address wide range of defects for some reason Sierra's kept coming up a lot so not sure what's going on there.

Toyota: in 2022 recalled all their newly released EVs because of fears that the wheels might come off. In general Toyota had something like 6 recalls and one even for a parking break issue.

Honda: in 2022 had 6+ recalls for driveshaft safety issues, wheel safety concerns, seats malfunction, and and seatbelt concerns

FCA: these guys are on a whole new level. In 2021, they recalled 1.2 million vehicles because of wheel issues...something about them becoming projectiles! Then another 1 million for engine issues. Year before that in 2019 they recalled over 4 million cars for software issues and the year before that wasn't much better as they recalled 700,000 cars. These are all single issue recalls, I bet you that if you took into account al the other smaller recalls then the numbers would be far worse.

Shitting on Tesla is easy and very "hip" thing to do, but the reality is that they simply get more publicity when there is a recall, the other guys however just fly under the radar.
