- nickthegreek 3y agoYa there is a bunch of missing information from the headline... thats why there is an article, to talk about it.
- xeromal 3y agoWe both know most people don't hence the journalistic integrity required to write a headline properly conveying the severity which is "It ain't shit."
- nickthegreek 3y agoAhhh, so the company is required to put all the juice in the headline, to save you a click, so they don't get your view. The current headline provides factual information and is in no way clickbait. As far as NYT Post headlines go... this has got the be the least egregious. If you want to be informed, RTFA. Why should we reorganize society for the laziest individual? That is the path to Idiocracy.
- bemusedthrow75 3y agoFWIW, journalists literally don’t write their own headlines. That’s an editor or sub-editor’s domain.
- chrisco255 3y agoNo there is an article to grab your attention, to sell advertisements to you.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoOh c'mon, you know damn well that most people only read headlines and not the article. Even people on HN are guilty of this.
- falcolas 3y agoThe solution for many recalls these days is quite often a software update. No, what's notable is Tesla was forced to issue the update. This probably has consequences for Tesla beyond some bandwidth.
- peterisza 3y agoTesla wasn't actually being forced. In the past, other automakers like Ford, GM, Porsche and Kia/Hyundai ran into the exact same problem. They just filed an inconsequential non-compliance petition to NHTSA because this issue is so minor and it would have been too expensive to fix --- for them.

- xeromal 3y agoI'm glad our regulators have teeth. I'm just annoyed with these headlines "Largest auto recall of 2.2 million cars" which gives images of piles of teslas being sent to service centers to be retrofitted when you can pay a single software engineer a few weeks of salary to solve the problem.
