Presumably none, yet. The oldest Model S is not quite 4 years old.What model years have the defective airbags? I can't seem to find anything definitive online.
Thanks for the link. Things seem to be very murky. Tesla has been very vague regarding what model years have the defective airbags. The recall plans I understand may take time to develop, but it would still be nice to know before buying a used car, which model years have the bad airbags and which ones do not.
In the absence of information, why not presume that they all do, and in 2-6 years that, worst case, Tesla will replace the airbag or the airbag component(s) with a new one, which will reset the clock.
They are not. They auto companies basically own them now and the only reason they are still making parts is to supply replacement airbags for millions and millions of cars.Airbags are expensive. How is Takata even still a viable company? They've replaced millions of these things. Such a huge financial hit to absorb.

Nuts. I was hoping we'd escaped this mess.
For those worrying about driving around with a deadly car until our recall actually happens (my first reaction), a key quote from the article:
"This recall schedule ensures the inflators will be recalled and replaced before they become dangerous."
Apparently they take time to degrade to the point of being dangerous, so it's not an immediate thing.
