These numbers are pretty meaningless without more context, Ford manufactures ~3x more vehicles per year than Tesla

  Number of models would also be relevant.

    "Models" is a marketing distinction, which is subject to fudging. For instance Ford lumps their F-150 / F-250 / F-350 models together, calling them all "F Series." Many other manufacturers would have classified them as separate models sharing a platform, but that decision shouldn't influence the recall performance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law

  Also not all recalls are created equal. I have a VW that was recalled a few years ago for this: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2019/RIONL-19V615-0655.pdf https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2019/RIONL-19V615-0655.pdf > If the build-up happens, it may be possible to remove the key from the ignition switch without the shift lever being in the “P” park position because the system is unable to recognize that the vehicle is not in “P” park That's obviously not a good thing and I'm glad it was caught, but it's not quite as dangerous to the public as a 7000lb truck's accelerator getting stuck or a car catching on fire when it gets rear-ended. That's not to say those other automakers haven't had recent recalls just as bad as the Cybertruck's -- I have no idea.

    I had a vehicle recalled because it was missing a single sentence in the owners manual. It was resolved my mailing me a sticker with the sentence on it, and instructions on where it should be applied in the manual.

      I'm intensely curious: what was the sentence and did you actually do it? I would've.

        I forget what it was, some statement about a safety system or something. I put the sticker in there.
