What's not to understand? Physical recall. Killer airbag. Turn it in.
It simply means, your car will not roll this feature back itself because it's not a software recall. Go turn it in.
Turns out it's confusing to overload the term "recall", and downright dangerous when it comes to overloading safety terms.
We're always going on about how misleading AutoPilot is as a term to the hypothetically confused consumer. But overloading recall isn't confusing?
I cannot help that the government for some reason chose to overload this term.
- hot_gril 3y agoRecall is what the government called the autopilot thing, right? It's a legal term.
- theultdev 3y agoYes I'm pointing out the difference that their legal term overlooks because it's overloaded. Illegal alien is also a legal term that sometimes requires distinction.
- hot_gril 3y agoYou said anti-Tesla articles are conditioning people to think there were recalls. But there were in fact recalls, which Tesla responded to with OTA fixes.
- theultdev 3y agoI'm simply saying don't expect this to be rolled back in software. It's a PHYSICAL recall. Normally the articles cover that important detail up, so all you see is recall.
- spookie 3y agoIt's a recall, just one that you don't need to go to a dealer for. I understand your point, but it is still a recall.
- theultdev 3y agoYes, if you're used to "recalls" that happen automatically this is not one of those.
