On April 29, the State Administration of Market Regulation reported that Tesla had filed a recall plan with the State Administration. With effect, the company will recall some imported and domestically produced Model 3 high-performance vehicles with production dates from January 12, 2019 to March 25, 2022, of which 1,850 are imported models and 12,834 are domestic models, for a total of 14,684 vehicles.
According to reports, the cars within the scope of this recall, in the case of opening the track mode, the speed area in the central touch display only displays the value, and will not display the speed unit (KM/H). This situation may affect the driver's correct understanding of the speed information, interfere with the driver's normal driving, and increase the risk of collision accidents in extreme cases, and have certain safety hazards.
Tesla will upgrade the affected vehicles to 2022.12 or a later version of the software for free through the remote upgrade (OTA) technology to solve the above problems, and users do not need to go to the store. For vehicles that cannot be upgraded remotely, Tesla will take the initiative to contact relevant users and complete the upgrade for the vehicle free of charge to eliminate hidden dangers.
Although this time is not a more serious bug, it will not have much impact on the driving of the car, Tesla does not mention that many car owners may not have noticed this detail. However, in extreme cases, this small problem may also have an impact on the owner. Tesla's recall announcement can also be regarded as a precaution, and there is no small matter in front of safety issues.
Friends who have used mobile phones and computers are well aware that in the process of daily use, they will occasionally encounter some inexplicable bugs, many of which will not have much impact on daily use, but there are a few bugs that may directly lead to mobile phone/computer stuttering, crashing, etc. Therefore, in order to ensure system stability, many manufacturers will not frequently update the system or add new features, the purpose is to reduce unknown bugs.
However, today's cars are basically equipped with intelligent car machine systems, with more and more functions, and the system has gradually become bloated. This series of features can indeed significantly improve the car experience of car owners, but the probability of bugs is also correspondingly increased. Especially Tesla FSD autopilot system, the pace of updates is still particularly fast, the function is more and more abundant, once there is a little bug, it may really lead to disaster.
The previous degree of intelligence of fuel vehicles was not high, and there were few problems in the driving of cars for more than ten years. Today's electric vehicles pay special attention to intelligence, the owner experience has gone up, and the safety hazards have also increased. Although the assisted driving function of many cars is very useful, everyone still needs to pay attention to it when driving.
