Title: Tesla recalling....
Post by: ronnyd on 13 December 2023, 16:31:31

....two million cars in the States due to auto pilot issues. Anyone else think that auto pilot is a bad idea? It's bad enough now with the standard of some driving.

Two million... :-X

That won't be cheap.

Luckily Elon isn't short of a bob (billion) or two.

It's an OTA firmware upgrade, so probably not too expensive in the scheme of things.

Its not really a story TBH...   ...although they have form for shagging ECUs when doing updates.

They have done several "recalls" over their Autopilot software, mostly to show the American authorities that they pretend to take the issues with it seriously.

So good old fashioned 'spannering and feeler gauges' not required then. ;D

My 15 year old Ford Mondeo has been recalled for an airbag issue.  :)
