Tesla recalls nearly half a million Model 3 and Model S cars
Just a reminder that cars are recalled all the time and the only reason you are seeing this article is because it is Tesla. Any other manufacturer and this would be a non-story especially on HN.<p>Did Ford recalling 185k vehicles a couple days ago make the front page of HN?<p>How about Toyota recalling 200k vehicles also a couple days ago?[2]<p>Maybe Honda recalling 725k vehicles a month ago?[3]<p>EDIT: Lots of people are taking this as a defense of Tesla.  That isn't my intention here.  I am providing context to this issue.  Someone who isn't familiar with the frequency that cars are voluntarily recalled is going to conclude that this is a bigger deal than if viewed in the context of the auto industry as a whole.<p>[1] - <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2021/12/28/ford-recalls-nearly-185-000-f-150-trucks-over-driveshaft-issue/9033644002/" rel="nofollow">https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2021/1...</a><p>[2] - <a href="https://www.justicepays.com/news/toyota-recalls-over-200000-vehicles-due-to-power-assist-braking-failure" rel="nofollow">https://www.justicepays.com/news/toyota-recalls-over-200000-...</a><p>[3] - <a href="https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a38425033/honda-passport-pilot-ridgeline-hood-recall/" rel="nofollow">https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a38425033/honda-passport-p...</a>
