Tesla’s recalls are almost entirely software updates, and for trivial stuff like the seat belt warning chime might not alert the driver in some corner case. Another “recall” I got was a software update that disabled the boombox feature while the car is moving. The NHSTSA banned that because it could override the government mandated pedestrian warning sound. The only physical fix I’ve gotten was replacing a cable for the backup camera. Apparently some models had a cable that could wear out, causing the camera to fail. If we used the same standard for iPhones, then 100% have been recalled. The NHTSA really needs to have more levels of severity, because current recall stats are obfuscating the actual reliability and safety of different models and manufacturers.
