Another massive recall... to increase the font size on some icons on their UI. That's it. That's all there is to the recall.

Yeah, I can’t believe so many words are spilled in an article over such a nothing burger… well I can believe it but it’s sad.

I’m just as much of a Tesla critic as anyone I’d say but this is really a reach.

At this point I swear publishing stories on Tesla "recalls" are hit pieces. God forbid your car gets an update that takes 15 minutes OTA

>The agency says that the brake, park and anti-lock brake warning lights have a smaller font size than required by federal safety standards.

How is it a hit piece? Tesla did not implement the federal safety standards correctly.

We have safety standards for a reason. Details are important, especially in dangerous equipment like cars and airplanes.

We need a term other than "recall" for minor software changes. The headline makes it sound like 2.2mm vehicles are going to be scheduling service appointments to fix this.

Good thing we are capable of reading beyond the headline. Recall once again is the correct word here. Every single time Tesla gets a recall (kinda often aint it?) there are people in HN comments who just want to fight over a word. There are federal safety standards and Tesla is not implementing them correctly, NHTSA issues a recall, full stop.

Because the articles don't make it super obvious in the headline that it's a software update.
