This sounds like a substantial fraction of all Tesla cars in the world...

I believe it is equivalent to half the number of cars they produced this year. As WSB noted TSLA was barely hit today.

  Based on https://www.statista.com/statistics/502208/tesla-quarterly-vehicle-deliveries/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/502208/tesla-quarterly-v... (which doesn't include Q4) it's probably about 20% of the total cars ever delivered.

  Since when is TSLA reflective of the company performance

  "As WSB noted"? Lol

One impact this will have is to lengthen the already-long repair delays that Tesla owners have to deal with.

  Unorthodox opinion: would it not have been safer-in-net to keep those recalled cars on the road to prevent repair delays? Now maybe-possibly ineffectual recall repairs will swarm facilities, while owners with real, serious car issues will be forced to keep driving them. Another reason why car over-regulation hurts the driver most of all!

    > Now maybe-possibly ineffectual recall repairs will swarm facilities One of these involves the frunk potentially opening itself on the highway. That's a pretty serious issue, and probably significantly more dangerous than most of the repairs that need to be made. > Another reason why car over-regulation hurts the driver most of all! This isn't car over-regulation. Tesla does not have the capacity to repair all of their vehicles in a timely manner, and will not make the repair manual available for reasonable prices so that 3rd party shops could do the repairs. You know who can fix my Dodge if the dealer is backed up with warranty stuff? Every other mechanic shop on the planet. Tesla shipped a faulty product, Tesla doesn't have the repair facilities to rectify that, and now Tesla owners are suffering because of it. It is in no way the government's fault for not wanting people driving around 2 ton hunks of metal at 70 mph when a piece of it might randomly obstruct their vision at any point. That seems an eminently reasonable requirement to me.

      I think we can allow adult car owners to decide on their own what is a genuine hazard and what is scaremongering.

        No that’s literally what minimum safety standards are for, because we can’t expect consumers to do that effectively. And while imperfect they’ve been demonstrated over many decades to improve safety and public welfare. Also because if your front hood pops up and you swerve and crash your car, it puts other road users in danger not just your adult car owning sef.

        Uh, you do realize that a collision requires, at a minimum, two rigid objects?
      - kaba0 5y ago
        Yeah, and any adult can also decide to drive without license, and drunk as well, because they are responsible human beings. Oh wait
