> Good thing we are capable of reading beyond the headline People don't read articles on tech forums like this so frequently that RTFA is a common meme. > Every single time Tesla gets a recall (kinda often aint it?) there are people in HN comments who just want to fight over a word You only think it's often because the other ones don't get reported on HN, creating the false impression. > According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ford issued 55 safety recalls in 2023, down from 67 last year. The repair campaigns affected 5.9 million vehicles, down from 8.6 million in 2022, which put the automaker in second place for the total number of vehicles recalled. Honda’s 19 recalls affected 6.3 million cars. > Chrysler issued the second-highest number of recalls, at 45. Kia came in third for the total number of recalled cars, with more than 3 million affected by its 20 repair campaigns. https://www.kbb.com/car-news/in-2023-ford-again-led-nation-in-recalls/ https://www.kbb.com/car-news/in-2023-ford-again-led-nation-i... Anti EV publications like the NYP should definitely be called out for writing misleading headlines.

> You only think it's often because the other ones don't get reported on HN, creating the false impression. Tesla & Other car companies have way too many recalls. Someone else also failing does not negate the amount of recalls Tesla is doing or change the frequency at which they occur. I do agree that Tesla recalls gain wider internet spotlight. I believe that is largely due to Musk himself is attracted to the spotlight. I couldn’t name you the name of ceo of another car company, and tbh I think that is a good thing. It is widely known that scrutiny increases the more you of a public figure you are. Especially so if you are a divisive one. The headline is not misleading, it is accurate.
