This is unnecessarily defensive. A quick search shows that other large recalls have been heavily upvoted on HN: Volkswagen, Hyundai, Fiat, Peloton, Amazon, and many others.
Just a reminder that news about the 6th-largest company in the world, owned by the richest man in the world, isn't a personal attack on you.
- slg 5y agoNot all recalls have the same level of newsworthiness. Both the Volkswagen and Hyundai recalls were related to internal corruption and potential criminal activity making them more noteworthy. That is a failure in the regulatory system while Tesla's recall is the system working as intended. The Fiat recall was related to hacking so it will naturally get more interest on HN. I don't have data on this, but voluntary recalls seem to be much more common for cars than other retail products.
