Just to note, when I read the title, it sounded like Tesla was recalling the entire car. So at least one person was confused over the term "recall".
That's just because you don't know what a vehicle recall is. I don't believe "the entire car" has ever been recalled...
False. @elonmusk "There was an over-the-air software update (done last month) and an upgraded US 14-50 adapter will be mailed to customers." @elonmusk "Some confusion in media reports today. No Tesla vehicles are being physically recalled by Tesla." https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/423145289310953473 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/423144357873479680
How is this different from a recall? I've had a number of recalls on various vehicles and it usually just involves the dealer replacing some part or another. The fact that Tesla is mailing the part to customers in this case makes it not a recall...?
My verdict is split between sloppy journalism, and a quick hatchet job.
"over-the-air software update (done last month) "
So, there's pretty much no way to guarantee that Teslas respect a user's freedom?
EDIT: Downvote all you want...just don't forget to pick up that can.

Now we hear otherwise. This is yet another example of how Musk is chewing on a wad of crazy--and every so often he'll spit some at you. Take what they say with a grain of salt. They will do anything, say anything to protect the company and the vision.

This isn't a recall because you're not taking your vehicle anywhere. They're sending you something. I don't really know what to actually call it, though.

If TSLA stocks fall because of this, it's probably a great time to buy.
Agreed... but strangely enough, it's shot up more than 10% and made me smile. When it corrects, it will be time to buy again.
While this one is a natural fit, he's been absolutely amazing at keeping Tesla in the news. His PR storm for Tesla has been opportunistic, brilliant, and incredibly successful.
