I don't own a tesla and no affinity for musk, but this is a pretty mild recall. I just got one for my fusion that says the driver door can unlatch itself while driving.
you mean the ones that other auto manufacturers do all the time that don't get threads made about them?
Was about to say...this feels pretty standard and not like a bad thing.
And all the people who hate Elon Musk are going to wildly overreact to an event which is pretty middling in the industry.
Because people are more emotional about Tesla and it's CEO.
The internet is a weird place.
yeah i dont really see this as a big deal. recalls happen all the time.
Oh, I know it's pretty middling in the grand scheme of things. But Musk is a massive piece of shit who deserves a hell of a lot more hate than he gets, so fuck it.
Not that big of a deal unless getting it fixed is a hassle but beyond that it doesn't seem dangerous or anything.
but unlike those other auto companies Tesla is run by a rich douchebag. Right?
If this seemed threadworthy to you, and you drive, then I would suggest that you should check if your vehicle has any open recalls.
Not being snarky, or defensive of Tesla, or whatever. This is something everyone should do now and then as part of their vehicle maintenance.

No one ever hyped up the interior. Maybe they did, but that wasn't the main hype. It was all about being the best range on an electric car.
There have been threads on major recalls on the past, like the major Chevrolet Bolt recall that Chevrolet is still working through . Honestly, it helps surface it to people though I would expect Tesla could push a notification to the owners of the affected vehicles on the car itself to notify them.
I doubt he's much different than any other CEO, he is just public about it and somehow made it appealing to people.
Chevy isn't run by Musk so it's not an issue if your parents car can instantly burst into flames.
Meanwhile, Honda recalled 724,826 vehicles manufactured between 2016 and 2020 because your hood latch may come off and fly open.

On the plus-side, they're getting a whole new battery pack, so if they live it'll be like the car's almost new.
Because the genius of Musk and his revolutionary business and manufacturing model is supposed to be above these kinds of problems.
A new battery if the old one doesn't burn me to a husk in my sleep you say!
No one is stopping you or anyone from starting threads about it.
This thread got like 800+ views in ~30 minutes. Seems like people care. 🤷♂️
people don't care because it's informative. They care because it involves Tesla.
Yeah, I was about to say lots of manufacturers have recalls for much worse issues
Seems like a pretty standard recall and doesn't seem like an extreme safety issue, and doesn't seem especially unusual.
For some comparison, as a former Acura/Honda owner, Honda had to recall over 12million Honda/Acuras for airbag failures in 2012. TIn 2021, Honda recalled over 600,000 Acura/Hondas for fuel pump issues. Throughout the 2000s, Honda had to recall tens of millions of TL, TLX, Accords, and other full sized models for faulty transmissions (my dad's 2001 Acura TL, and my 2009 Acura TL both had to be recalled for this, my dad's actually had the problem while driving, shifting into neutral unexpectedly). That's just one car company, tens of millions of recalls in the last 10 years, some pretty benign (shitty ass bluetooth), some annoying & expensive (more fuel usage, more oil usage), a few life threatening (the airbag issue, the transmission issue).
We all know why.
"Tesla" appears in the title of anything and it automatically rockets up all of our news feed algorithms, becomes good reply bait on this website. I'm not into Teslas, I don't like Elon Musk, but the car brand lives rent free in so many people's algorithm-controlled-brains.
Is it? According to who?

Seems minor compared to the amount of recall mail I would get on my last ford telling me all 4 of my doors might fly open while driving the damn car Lol.

and those had threads. Your trunk slowly killing your reverse camera isn't as bad as your steering wheel flying off, no, but there's a reason reverse cameras are required standard safety equipment now. It's not like they're recalling floor mats.

oH! New news, new thread. Make it!
Because those companies don't have a history of having a "No Yellow"-policy in their factories because the owner is a weird maniac.
Word.
My Sentra had to get the transmission replaced at 65k miles. A known issue with the CVT that will slowly stop being able to switch gears, until you basically lose power after 1st gear. No recall. Just pray it fails while you're under warranty.
A trunk hatch recall is a free throw.
