Technically its a recall, but it's really a software update that all owners will receive without doing anything special. I'm not a fan of Tesla by any means, but let's not sharpen the pitchforks just yet.
Even ignoring bizarre stuff like this, it's priced like a Jaguar and has the build quality of a Yugo. I say keep sharpening.
And the 0-60 of a Koenigsegg at 1/20 the price, but also electric and potentially economical to drive.
0-60 of race car is the last thing a normal driver needs from a car. If you'll come up with a made up scenario where you have to floor it to save your life I will scream.
A Koeniggsegg handles much better and is well-built, though. It's meant for the track and it does that well.
In contrast, a Tesla Model S is an unnecessarily quick and overpriced family car with a dubious safety record due in part to having the build quality of a Yugo.
