Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't both of these links about proactive recalls to address something that may happen, whereas the Tesla news is more about pictures of wheels having already fallen off resulting in NHTSA investigation? [1] > Tesla quoted the vehicle owner $103.96 to repair the defect before removing the charge. These seem like different classes of problems to me. There's also I think a large difference between "the bolts meant to keep the steering wheel to the column in the car get loose" and "the brand-new vehicles were delivered without a necessary retaining bolt to attach the steering wheel to the column" [1]: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/8/23630358/tesla-steering-wheel-bolt-nhtsa-model-y https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/8/23630358/tesla-steering-wh...
