Most of the Tesla recalls are just software updates that are done from home over the air

      But is the difference that it's just a software update or that it's OTA?

  “Most” is pulling a lot of undeserved weight there. Some recalls have been software updates. There have been plenty (like rear camera harnesses failing, the media CPU overheating, rear seatbelts being incorrectly attached, faulty MMC modules, and the incident being talked about here) that have required hardware fixes.

    >“Most” is pulling a lot of undeserved weight there. So were most OTA updates or not? That is either objectively true or objectively false, not "pulling a lot of undeserved weight".

      This is a good point. As long as Tesla continuously churns out software that breaks the car the percentage of “woops the accelerator stuck because they mixed soap with the pedal glue” issues gets smaller and thus less relevant

        Then there wouldn't be 20 recalls in total. But there were 20 in total in that year.

          Exactly

    I've had several recalls done on my Model Y. 100% of them were OTA software updates. It seems like that most of them are software, regardless of the metric chosen (number of units recalled or number of recalls).

  How many of the others are software updates but without the possibility of OTA?
