Power Steering Recall: Overblown or Ominous Precursor?
Nearly 400,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles recalled for a power steering software glitch. Only 1% estimated to be actually affected. A non-US regulatory agency initiated the investigation over a year ago. Almost all US vehicles already updated. So, are we overreacting? Or is this a canary in the coal mine, hinting at deeper reliability issues with Teslas reliance on software for critical systems? What are the implications for the longevity and safety of these vehicles long-term? This recall originated outside the US. What does this say about Teslas responsiveness to issues in different markets? Are international owners getting the same level of attention and support? Lets discuss the potential ramifications of this recall, both for current owners and for the future of Tesla. Is this a simple software fix, or a sign of more complex problems to come?
