I just cited a statistic that not having a backup camera kills and injures tens of thousands of people/year. If you want to present evidence to the contrary, please feel free.
Just because you have a misunderstanding of how recalls work doesn't make it misleading.
I don't misunderstand how recalls work. I'm simply saying this one is completely unimportant. Tesla stated no accidents or injuries were caused by this defect, but that's really irrelevant just like the rest of this "news".
No, what you said was that it was misleading, meaning the author implied something that was untrue, which is not the case.
I will concede it is fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of "news" or even "automotive news" and probably not worthy of reporting, and that Tesla is reported on at an absolute landslide compared to other OEMs, but I wouldn't say it's "misleading" in any way.
For fucks sake it's not that hard. This isn't news. Click a button and problem goes away. It's misleading because it gets you to click on a completely unimportant story. I get gotcha winning is an internet thing, but the context of the conversation is important and ignoring it for a quick gotcha isn't a win.
You're right it's not. I don't understand why you're having so much trouble.
I'm not. I foolishly stuck my nose in to agree with someone who I thought had the right of things.
