Every time there’s a recall, I remember the equation from Fight Club and how the company has to make a decision to recall or absorb the costs. Tesla has had A LOT of recalls mostly with the cyber truck. Musk doesn’t seem like the kind of person to be cautious and recall to be on the safe side.
For this kind of recall, the expense can be insanely low. It’s just a software update that can be done over the air. Something that would warrant a recall is the type of thing they would fix for future builds. So they already put money into it to update the software for future builds. Just pushing it to older builds is simple. Ergo the part of the formula for “the cost of doing the recall” is, as previously mentioned, insanely low. This makes it very easy to have that cost be lower than the amount to settle out of court.
Tesla may have figured out how SpaceX deals with the muskrat. They basically have a team of people that run interference with tons of busywork they shove in his face when he visits, so that he can’t actually do anything.
If Trump’s people have half a brain, they will talk to the people that give the British rich and powerful the run around.
You think a billionaire that spends most of his “very busy” schedule tweeting nonsense cares to read the news?
There’s probably a dedicated intern that gives him daily briefings while Musk scrolls twitter for a new Nazi to retweet. The intern knows better than to upset the Muskrat, and keeps news about Tesla issues to a minimum.

So… What AREN’T they recalling?

How is it possible for the Muskrat to not be aware of all this, if we in the public are?
