Yes, this is a valid point - Tesla has recalls, but I have no idea how their per vehicle rate compares with IC cars - and they perform over the air software updates that in IC cars might need a dealer trip. When all cars have similar degrees of software dependency they will probably act similarly. I wonder if greater software use will reduce recalls? The fact remains that a large structure will be needed for recall maintenance. Logically recall specialists will emerge with the ability to recall any makers cars for a fee in the same shop as dealers become more and more marginalised with time?
