These are just over-the-air software updates. When your iPhone gets an update overnight, do you tell your friends that Apple "recalled" your iPhone?

I don't know why they keep pushing these dumb stories on us. It's not going to prevent people from rushing to buy Teslas, as they are basically sold out through the rest of the year!

These dumb stories are not going to lower the $TSLA share price either. They have absolutely no effect

It's odd that you feel that this announcement is somehow a slight against Tesla, when all car manufacturers have had recalls via software updates[1]. They get the same press releases.

Also this is how recall notices are published, as required by law[2]. Nobody is out to get Tesla.

Weird that a louder sound is obscuring the warning sound, don't they both let someone know a car is there?

Guess Elon should not have called Biden names.
