Warning lights on the Tesla vehicles are hard to read, raising the risk of a crash, according to traffic safety regulators.
Tesla recalls 2.2 million cars — nearly all of its vehicles sold in the U.S. — over warning light issue::Warning lights on the Tesla vehicles are hard to read, raising the risk of a crash, according to traffic safety regulators.
I realize most of you, dear Lemmings, are distraught in fear over this news. Fear not! “Tesla is fixing the vehicles by releasing a free, over-the-air software update.”
It’s almost like this “news article” was deliberately trying to mislead you to gain ad revenue! Fortunately for you, I have dispelled the misinformation!
The word “recall” in the context of a product clearly means the product had to go back to where it came from. Do Microsoft, Apple, and Google recall devices running their software every time there’s an update? No, it’s called an update.
There 100% needs to be better phrasing for this, and for all manufacturers. I don’t give a shit about Elon Musk.
Elon Musk clearly intended for the warning lights on Teslas worldwide to not operate according to the RULES. He is clearly a scoundrel, and NTSHA should GET HIM. Why do billionaires even control our car’s turn signals?! Surely there is some kind of review process for … like … selling cars!

We need a new term to separate physical and virtual recalls. It’s not like 2.2M vehicles have to go to the dealer to have a faulty brake line replace.
Musk is a utter cunt though, don’t get me wrong. But this is not about him.

We also need a new term to clarify we’re still calling musk a cunt without having to do it in so many words.
Muskycunt?
