As I understand it, a car "recall" is a regulated action in the US, and that manufacturers must issue recalls in certain circumstances and that they bring with them various requirements. How that recall actually takes place, and whether it's just an OTA update, is an implementation detail that doesn't matter as much. I realise that does go against the customer perception of what a product recall entails in general. The Verge therefore is technically correct in stating that it was a recall.

#22I find the timing of this release interesting to say the least.
Re: Tesla Robotaxi
#23Really wish they had shared more details. It was so high-level that we didn't really learn anything substantive.
Hmm it's almost like there might not be anything of substance to share...

Re: Tesla Robotaxi
#26The RoboTaxi looks neat, but I don't get why it only seats 2 rather than just updating the Model 3? What's the utility of an entirely new production line for a car that is less flexible than the existing model that's built at scale?

They did post about the Robovan. While I agree regarding the tendency of media to use the word "recall" in a misleading fashion, I ctrl-f'ed and couldn't find it in the Verge live blog page that was linked to.
Re: Tesla Robotaxi
#30They haven’t even gotten self driving working with driver still at the wheel, how are they supposed to convince us that they can do fully autonomous?
I mean, people have been gullible for this long already...
