Especially because Tesla is considered some new popular tech company, the media is focusing on them a lot more compared to traditional automakers. There are hundreds of recalls a year[0], and yes, there are articles on most of them, but it's all in an attempt to capture SEO for 'recalls for <year make model>' and thus low-visibility; but any time the 'Apple of Cars' issues a recall, it turns into a reuters article and thus 10 other publications publish a story on it, where it continues to spread like wildfire. All recalls are warranted, even when done voluntarily for small manufacturing issues, but you can't deny that articles about Teslas having issues are guaranteed to generate more clicks and thus more ad revenue than one about some years-old Ford or GM vehicle. 0: https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/2020_nhtsa_recall_annual_report_021021-tag.pdf https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/2020_n...
