There's more to the story. Ford, Toyota and Honda makes significantly more cars and models than Tesla.

I am not trying to start a fight about the quality of Tesla's vehicles compared to other manufacturers. Maybe you are right and Teslas are recalled at a higher frequency. I don't know enough about it to have an opinion either way. I am simply pointing out that a solitary voluntary recall, which is what this article is about, is barely newsworthy and is only being posted/upvoted because it is Tesla.

  And it is upvoted through the roof because it is Tesla. The one car manufacturer valued as high as "all other" (very many) car manufacturers together. Tesla is different, why treat them like everyone else?

    >And it is upvoted through the roof because it is Tesla. That was my point so we agree.

      Well yes, but you seem to think it's unfair treatment whereas I think It's perfectly reasonable to treat them differently if they are different(Which they are). So we disagree as well.

        I never said it was unfair. People are projecting a lot onto my comments here.

        Before your edit many misinterpreted this, probably because the links you mention are not equal/close to equal and therefore not comparable to discuss.

        I was limiting my search to recent weeks to highlight the frequency of these recalls, but that means there weren't limitless examples to choose from. Despite that, the Honda recall I linked to in my first comment was bigger in terms of total vehicles. I expanded that timeframe in another reply and linked to a Honda recall of 1.4m vehicles which is bigger in relation to annual vehicles sold.

Is your implication that Ford, Toyota and Honda, by being longer in business and having much more experience, should be needing less recalls?

  This recall, as a percentage of the amount of vehicles that Tesla has ever sold, is significantly larger than the comparable percentages of other manufacturers' recalls.

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about every Rivian and Lucid recall in the next couple of years. Hint: new car companies have fewer models and larger recalls than companies with many models.

  Well yes, and they have (per unit sold). They're still not valued to one trillion dollars.
