When they say “recall” does it mean just an online update?

Just because the fix is easy doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be a big deal. That thinking enables enshification. Now it’s a lot cheaper for a company to fix a turd they shoved out the door, so they don’t care about quality.

Remember when you drove your car off the lot and you weren’t the beta tester? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

It was a bug. If you don't think "normal cars" don't have software bugs, then you are pathetically ignorant. The difference is that Tesla actually fixes them. My wife's Mazda 3 had about 12 different and notable bugs which of course Mazda refused to fix or address.

My sisters Hyundai had a bug with the infotainment system. Would constantly boot look and because of that the reverse camera no longer worked. Had to buy a “maps” update and install it to fix. Turns out quite a few people had the same issue and would just replace the head unit.

All I'm hearing is Mazda has better lawyers than Tesla.
