"Catastrophic Failure" sounds a bit dramatic.
yeah, they got the 2020 equivalent of a blinking engine check light, but !on a Tesla! so it's a blog post and on the front page nonetheless
That alone is worthy of a blog post on the front page if it were true (it's not).
Recently my bothers Ford Focus had service engine light that had come on and vehicle was shut down. He had it towed to ford. which let him know that they recently had a recall on the model and they knew the exact issue. He was neither given rental nor Uber or loaner etc. he had to talk to his insurance company which also did not include recall as a clause so he had to rent. This sort of shit happens to all cars.

It's definitely not the only time an expensive car has failed in the first 6,000 miles of use. Also, the author's assumption that ICE cars don't fail while parked is a bit of hairsplitting.
