Seriously, why can't the headline just say "Tesla to issue Autopilot software update for 2M vehicles"?
As if the purpose of the headline is just to make people think this is a massive product recall.
- trogdor 3y agoBecause it is a recall, and your suggested headline would be misleading. Tesla routinely pushes software updates. This one, however, is different. It’s the result of a multi-year NHTSA investigation, and it’s legally a recall. The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act gives NHTSA the authority to require manufacturers to recall vehicles that have safety-related defects. Just because this recall is being addressed through an OTA software update doesn’t make it not a recall.
- mikrotikker 3y agoBecause "they" are pissed at Elon and his antics. He destroyed their propaganda platform and exposed the propaganda pushers. Now he's shitting on advertisers for extorting the platform. A story like this has an effect on stock prices. It's all they can do to try to hurt him since he has so much "fuck you" money.
