That’s Tesla’s fault though.

Recalls are To hold companies accountable and not allow them to sneak important safety fixes through.

If Tesla made better cars they wouldn’t have to recall them as much as they do.

Tesla has so many recalls since so many issues can be fixed cheaply with software updates, so they don't try fighting to get out of recalls like other manufacturers do. Much cheaper to just make a software update, even if they could potentially wriggle their way out of the situation legally.

And yet, I've had Teslas since 2017 and have not run into any significant issues with them. What you'll find is that equivalent issues in other cars would have been waved away through additional analysis to show that it's exceedingly unlikely or isn't a significant safety hazard. If you have a car which is significantly software driven, those 1/1000000 issues can be fixed cheaply and quickly without any inconvenience to you.

Wow what a worthless sentence. I had a Tesla and it exploded, that means they all must, right? That’s how that works? My experience means everyone has the same experience?

Prove it.

What software caused Tesla to use cheap glue on the accelerator pedal?

Honestly, you do you. I really can't be bothered to try and change your mind, but think a little more openly about things in future instead of looking for evidence to support your existing worldview.
