It doesn’t seem to happen in other companies…
- bryanlarsen 3y agoYes it does, it just doesn't make the news.
- scott_w 3y agoI’m specifically referring to introducing steps into the manufacturing process with no oversight, which the (now flagged) post was saying Musk couldn’t foresee.
- brandonagr2 3y agoNot clear if you are being sarcastic or not, recalls are way more common in other brands, with Ford leading the charts on number of recalls. https://www.powernationtv.com/post/auto-brands-with-the-most-recalls-2023 https://www.powernationtv.com/post/auto-brands-with-the-most...
- seventytwo 3y agoThis is an area where recalls is a bad metric. It could be that a company with high rates of recalls is actually very good and just issues recalls for smaller things while other companies don’t.
- numpad0 3y agoRecalls are automotive equivalent of security updates. Testing catch bugs but not all of it, and while a bug-free software won't ever get a patch release in theory, in reality it means the software is not maintained.
- scott_w 3y agoI’m specifically referring to introducing steps into the manufacturing process with no oversight, which the (now flagged) post was saying Musk couldn’t foresee. I’m not talking about recalls, which obviously do happen.
- marricks 3y agoThere was a major airbag flaw which affected most cars from Japan for like a decade, and it just kept growing. I always kind of assumed that was if there was a recall of that magnitude out of the blue it would rock a lot of boats so it was trickled out. *Takata I believe. This one does seem a lot more stupid though.
- toxic72 3y agoTakata is the airbag company, Takeda is a pharma corp.
- nradov 3y agoThe faulty airbag manufacturer was Takata. It wasn't just Japanese brands affected: Ford and BMW also used those airbags. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle-safety/takata-recall-spotlight https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle-safety/takata-recall-spotlight

- mhb 3y agoYou might have missed some recent news about Boeing...
- ripjaygn 3y agoOther companies like Toyota, with their reputation of legendary quality? Toyota's wheels have been literally falling off. https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/24/cars/toyota-bz4x-tundra-recall/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/24/cars/toyota-bz4x-tundra-recal... You just don't hear about things like that because every single Tesla recall makes the HN front page and is all over the media, even if it's just a software update, a details that omitted on purpose in the headlines.
