Massive Recall of 700,000 Tesla Vehicles! A Routine Procedure…

Tesla has launched a massive recall again. What would be a nightmare for a traditional manufacturer is commonplace for the American brand.

For years, Tesla fans have complained that the car manufacturer makes headlines for “recalls” that are not really recalls. You might say that a recall is a recall, but in Tesla’s case, they are mostly just “software recalls” that only require a simple software update. And for that, there’s no need to visit the garage, thankfully because Tesla doesn’t have garages! It’s as simple as pressing an icon that appears on the digital screen, and everything is done OTA, meaning Over the Air or directly remotely. As simple as updating your Smartphone, and for good reason because it’s precisely the same process.

Although it is a genuine recall related to a hardware failure, there’s no need to physically bring your vehicle to a service center. Tesla is not the only brand in this situation, as the vast majority of modern vehicles are equipped with this OTA update technology.

The latest recall affecting the Model 3 2017-2025, Model Y 2020-2025, and Cybertruck 2024, totaling around 700,000 vehicles, is related to a small malfunction in the tire pressure monitoring system. Nothing dramatic considering the number of vehicles involved, but imagine if it were necessary to go to the garage for work on the electric powertrain. You can better understand why some manufacturers have long preferred to hide small bugs from their customers. Most of the time, it went unnoticed, but in the worst cases, it led to a worldwide scandal like with the recent Takata airbags incident… Now, you can stop mocking Tesla’s calls and even appreciate for once the transparency of a brand linked to Elon Musk.
