Are there standards for touch screen UI elements?
From the article: "The agency [NHTSA] says that the brake, park and anti-lock brake warning lights have a smaller font size than required by federal safety standards."
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.

Because the articles don't make it super obvious in the headline that it's a software update.
The solution for many recalls these days is quite often a software update. No, what's notable is Tesla was forced to issue the update. This probably has consequences for Tesla beyond some bandwidth.
That other manufacturers force owners to bring their car to the dealer for.
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.
There's a huge gulf between people that keep up with tech news and people that don't. Millions of people are likely unaware that Tesla cars get software updates at all, let alone over the air.
So when they see an article with a headline of "Latest recall at Elon Musk’s Tesla affecting 2.2M vehicles", they assume Tesla owners all over the country are having to take their cars to a service center to get fixed. Many will probably assume the cars are fundamentally broken or unsafe until the car gets taken in.

Ya there is a bunch of missing information from the headline... thats why there is an article, to talk about it.
Even people on HN are guilty of this.

Normally I would agree, but this is the NYPost which is pretty friendly to conservatives(1). Maybe they attack Tesla because it's "green" tech but defend Elon in the context of Tesla/SpaceX? Just a guess as I'm not a regular reader.

I've had updates take damn near 2 hours. >.I make sure to only update at home and when I don't expect to be driving the rest of the day. If something came up, I could always take my wife's car.

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.
