In the eyes of the consumer it feels much less obtrusive.
Hearing that 30,000 Model S owners have to take their car back to the shop to get a problem fixed feels much worse than receiving a part in the mail.
The latter makes me feel like it's a simple fix since I don't have to have a mechanic do it and that it must not be that serious if they trust me to do it myself.
Semantics aside, as far as PR goes there's a huge difference.
- bostonpete 13y agoThe NHTSA considers it a recall. This "not a recall" claim seems to just be PR spin by Tesla: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/UCM448672/RCAK-14V006-6094.pdf http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/UCM4... Also, Tesla calls it "a voluntary recall" in this document (at the end of the Chronology of Principal Events): http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/UCM448668/RCDNN-14V006-9349.pdf http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/UCM4...
