It occurs to me that 1972 is now 50 years ago

  Yes, am a Tesla owner, this incident is inexcusable and the fact that it happened 50 years ago (or even 10 years ago in the case of the Sonic incident) does not matter. This is a 2022 model! None of this should have happened!

  My daily driver is that old. It was also built by GM. In the last four weeks a lot that holds about 2,000 cars has often been filled with Vegas that had to be taken back into the plant for repair work before they could be shipped to dealers. That sentence from the article alone demonstrates the huge difference between that and Tesla's response. GM actually cared about these problems and tried to fix them, instead of just letting faulty products reach customers and attempting to deny responsibility. It also wasn't "GM forgetting pads on 4000 cars". They acted on one report, recalled ~4000, and only ~20-30 were actually affected: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29951540 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29951540
