Tesla Identified As Most Recalled Car Brand, Mercedes & Toyota Least - Lemmy.world

They really should disaggregate recalls fixed with OTA from recalls that need a physical intervention. Obviously Teslas almost always need an OTA

100%, this number is skewed by the fact that tesla will basically “recall” for any minor issue because it’s a simple software update, I imagine a lot of companies try to avoid recalls as aggressively and for as long as possible because it’s a significantly bigger burden on them

It should also be pointed out that the numbers in the articles are just projections covering the next 30 years.

I don’t know their methodology but I’m curious if they just took the current age and recall number and multiplied it out to 30 years. I don’t think this would be a fair assessment because a car would likely have all the kinks worked out long before it his 30 years old. Furthermore, I find it odd they projected out 30 years when the average age of a car on the road is 12.5 years.
