Yes, you read that right, Tesla has started another recall. The December 31, 2021 recall due to defective rearview cameras recalled more than 470,000 vehicles in the United States and nearly 200,000 in China. Ah Guijun thought that it would be the largest recall event, but what everyone did not expect was that Tesla broke the record in just over a month.
A few days ago, according to foreign media reports, AGuijun learned that the highest car safety regulator in the United States issued an announcement that Tesla has launched the largest recall since the establishment of the brand. The recall includes four Models produced between 2021 and 2022, the Model 3 from 2017 to 2022, and the Model Y from 2020 to 2022, with more than 817,000 units recalled in the United States. You know, Tesla's delivery volume in 2021 is only more than 930,000 vehicles.
The reason for this recall is due to a software issue where the buzzer fails to activate after the vehicle has been started and the driver is not fastening the seat belt, resulting in no seat belt prompt ring. At present, Tesla has not officially issued a notice to all owners of the form of this recall, but if the fault cannot be solved through OTA, it means that Tesla owners need to drive to the after-sales outlets to deal with it. Such a huge scale of recall will be a big challenge for after-sales outlets.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced another recall notice at the same time, and Tesla will recall about 54,000 vehicles because Tesla's "Rolling Stop" feature allows cars to slow down through intersections with stop signs while ensuring safety.
In fact, whether it is for Tesla owners or friends who follow Tesla, it is not so surprising to hear the word recall. A Guijun has been unable to count the number of recall plans of Tesla, whether it is the vehicle quality control level or the software level, the airbag can not pop normally, the strength of the steering knuckle is insufficient or the central control black screen, easy to activate the active cruise function by mistake and so on. Each recall confirms that Tesla does not have enough experience in car manufacturing as traditional car companies, and it is also questioned by netizens.
Some netizens feel that Tesla uses a large size central control screen to replace most of the functional buttons, which seems to have a simple and avant-garde design, but in fact, when the car crashes and the central control black screen occurs, it is still a trivial matter to adjust the temperature and cannot pause the playback of songs, but if the intelligent driving assistance system cannot be controlled, it will become extremely dangerous.
GuiyanTang:
A Guijun believes that the arrival of Tesla has contributed to the rapid development of the domestic new energy market, which is certainly positive. However, at the time of Tesla's own boring development, the market value of nearly one trillion US dollars even exceeded many traditional car companies. But behind such decent data, it is to reduce the process standards in the construction of the car. Even Musk himself admits that "in the process of speeding up production, it takes an extra one to two minutes to dry the paint of the vehicle, but there is actually not enough time to dry the paint, which is an example." Yes, our production is like hell. ”
Tesla's production is like hell, and that's true for consumers. Countless recalls, subsidies for new energy vehicles have declined, and Tesla has raised prices again. What happens next? You are welcome to leave a message in the comments section.
