This is most likely a legislative issue with NHTSA, I don't think they have a mechanism by which they can enforce a software update since the concept didn't exist when recalls were first implemented.
- reilly3000 4y agoThis is the correct answer. The question is, how do we get better at regulating reality faster?
- connicpu 4y agoElecting congresspeople who actually stay on top of the expert consensus in various regulated fields is the only way the frameworks themselves can be improved.
- mrguyorama 4y agoRecalls about car software, and about updating car software, have existed since shortly after OBDII was a thing.
- tsgagnon 4y agoThis is the correct answer. The question is, how do we get better at regulating reality faster? I don't think "Use words that put a more positive spin for Tesla PR" is something regulators should be working faster on.
- jjk166 4y agoInaccuracy is inaccuracy no matter in which direction. If an outdated law made it easier for Tesla PR to spin something in a positive light, would you consider that an issue?
- outworlder 4y agoThere's no inaccuracy here. You are arguing about an implementation detail.
- asdff 4y agoWhy not? At the end of the day its a binary check box on the paper that you had the fix. Whether that fix was a software update or a new piece of hardware should be irrelevant.
- sentientslug 4y agoI agree with you, I'm just responding to another commenter who questioned the use of the word "recall" in relation to software updates.
