Tesla is very busy after the Spring Festival. On Feb. 3, Tesla conducted a safety recall of more than 817,000 vehicles due to a vehicle software issue that resulted in no sound of seatbelts not being alerted. Although some fans bought the Times Square ad to speak out for Tesla, saying that this is a wireless upgrade, not a recall. But in the face of facts, no matter how loud the voice of the advocates is, it will not help. At a time when the large-scale recall is still lingering, Tesla will recall 26,681 vehicles in the United States due to the problem that "software errors may lead to the degradation of the windshield defrost performance and potential safety hazards".
Faced with frequent quality problems, Tesla said that some of the problems can be solved by software updates, without the need to send the car back, which not only saves a lot of time and effort, but also greatly protects the brand equity. Therefore, despite the continuous recalls, Tesla's stock price is still very strong, and the No. 9 stock price rose 1.08% to close at $932, with a total market value of $936 billion.
Tesla, which smoothly survived the recall storm, has not yet come to catch its breath, and it has been exposed that there is a problem of reduced allocation of domestic models. It was learned from relevant sources that due to the shortage of chip supply chains, the Model 3 and Model Y cars produced in the Shanghai Gigafactory were both reduced, and one of the two electronic control units in the bogie was removed.
In this regard, Tesla officials said that every vehicle leaving the factory must be in line with national regulations. The reason why the user was not informed of this news is because the part is a redundant backup, which has no impact on the L2 assisted driving of the current vehicle, because only the future L3 needs a dual electronic control unit system, and when it is really needed, it can be modified and added.
In the case of tight resources, it is not a particularly out-of-the-ordinary thing to reduce the spare accessories prepared in advance for the future, after all, it is not shameful. But as a well-known global car company, I think tesla any product adjustment, has the responsibility to clearly inform consumers, this is the minimum respect, not to tell the public, although can not be put on the arrogant top hat, but at least a lack of polite performance.
