    Article is paywalled. Is this an OTA update or a true recall where you have to take the vehicle in?

    There really needs to be a differentiation. I’ve had a Tesla for years and seen about a dozen articles about recalls, but have never had a hardware issue. All of the software issues are updated automatically when I’m on a Wi-Fi network and are usually done way before I hear about the “recall”.

    If I need to take my car in for a hardware issue, I want to know as soon as possible.

      Wtf? They honestly shouldn’t be able to call a software update a “recall.” They’re literally two different things. Is this just a Tesla thing, or is this some sort of new trend?
