Big recall

Here. Not wipers, phantom braking, or fitting anti-kerbing guards to alloys. Exploding screens, it seems.

Big recall resolved by an OTA update.

These recalls are a huge pita. It is such a nuisance to connect to a wifi and leave it overnight..

Reuters not reliable. In any case, CURRENT version of the article makes no mention of ex plod ing (don't feed the bots). Reuters regularly rewrite articles and headlines to get a huge impact and then slowly correct their, ahem, information. From Reuters twitter link you posted

With Reuters and other unreliable sources, it's often worth checking redirects. In this case, looks like they haven't redirected to a completely different article as they sometimes do. Could have rewritten original to catch the gullible, get reposts & affect trading bots

Fixed with an over the air update. Side-effect of providing an upgrade to the infotainment in newer vehicles.

To be honest, connecting to wifi is more or less impossible for my Tesla even at a service centre. Though point taken.

"Recall" updates tend to be pushed over the data link so you would get them if you wanted them or not.

Hi, where I live in Oxford UK there are ++++ Teslas on the roads but our nearest garage is 40miles away. I’ve had to waste 2 half days of my time visiting for - you guessed - recalls! Time for more service centres to match the expectations of price paid for the car.

I'm really split on this whole issue. Should something that gets an OTA update even be considered a Recall? No.....lets not make a mountain out of a molehill here.

But, should the car NEED these OTA updates to begin with? Also no....its like the state of computer games these days, 9/10 are released in a buggy, sometimes even unplayable state and then patched later and this has somehow become the norm, when it really shouldn't be.

Finally, should things like boots not opening properly or bms sensors not working properly (from a recent Louis Rossmann video I just watched) be allowed to be "fixed by software" when there is a good chance the patch is just ignoring the deeper issue?

Like I said....split.
