This spin on things is hilarious. It wasn’t the “Tesla haters” screaming “don’t mention our precious software! It’s just a recall!”, it was the Tesla fans. “How can it be a recall if it can be fixed without my car going anywhere? The media just wants to make Tesla look bad! This isn’t a recall because Tesla can update it OTA, something the dinosaurs can’t!”
(Which ignores that while Tesla can update more than most other manufacturers, my car gets regular OTA updates too.)
Meanwhile Lincoln sent me a “fix” for a recall that involved neither software or my car moving an inch.
“We identified an issue in your vehicles user guide that could lead to improper seat operation. Please place this piece of paper between pages 168 and 169 of your guide.”

That was a recall, too.
