    This is a bad take. Software updates that fix life threatening defects are as serious as any recall.

    It’s motivated reasoning. Either the people making this argument are Tesla owners, simps, or shareholders and are trying to protect the phantasmagorical value of the company.

    Saying “my car’s drive-by-wire software gets more firmware updates than my printer” is not a flex.

      Right, because the recall for the icons on the screen needing to be a tad bigger is as serious as uncontrolled acceleration of a giant hunk of metal.

      They need a new name for software update recalls and physical recalls. They both need to be serious, but a distinction is needed.
