Tesla recalls are up to over half a million cars in the last month. That's over 55% of every car they sold last year. In a genius move, Tesla intentionally programmed its self-driving feature to roll through stop signs instead of stopping at them because they thought people would want to use the self-driving feature, but also not have to stop at signs if it didn't seem like anyone else was crossing the intersection at the same time. The entire logic seems to have been "it's illegal to not stop at stop signs, but people do it all the time and this will simulate how they really drive and not annoy people by stopping at every stop sign" and they were surprised that this got flagged by the NHSTA. https://twitter.com/cnni/status/1488678635628285959 quote:Tesla will recall all 53,822 vehicles with its "full self-driving" driver-assist feature after it was intentionally programmed to slowly roll through stop signs in some scenarios.

But, the "Tesla Model S Hood can fly up while driving," the "Tesla Heat Pump stops working when it is below 15 degrees," the "Tesla charging cable can break off and prevent you from ever charging the car again," and the "Tesla rear-view camera will break if you open the trunk too many times" recalls all require they service or replace your car and those combined are about 425k out of the total 550k recalled.

For the Tesla thing, I am pretty sure the "recall" involves simply sending the cars an over-the-air software update, not taking the vehicles in for service. It's more a "mandatory urgent patch" than a classic recall. It remains entirely hosed, however, that apparently Tesla deliberately programmed the cars to break the law and in all likelihood nobody will face any real consequences for it.

They just gave the title to an already existing NSC employee. The person is supposed to just oversee who the State Department, Defense Department, and CIA are giving waivers to get reimbursed for medical care or paid medical leave and collect information to see if it there are any commonalities. The CIA said they can rule out any coordinated energy weapon attack, but there are several people who had brain damage that showed up on CT scans and people who complained about all the other symptoms and they still want to collect information on all of the incidents to see if they can find anything because they said that a few of them are likely related to foreign governments, but they aren't coordinated and the rest of them don't have definitive answers for what caused them. This person is just in charge of putting all the information from different agencies in one place.

"brain damage" that showed up on scans doesn't prove anything unless they have baseline imaging from before onset of symptoms. Even if they could show it was a new presentation, it doesn't prove anything. It being the work of foreign governments is just about the least likely explanation.

Even worse, she shamelessly claims this is done in the pursuit of equitable care. It's just so insulting. Shaheen is dumb and most likely trying to save face, but that is what the designation is supposed to do. They just gave the assignment to someone who was already working at the NSC to be the point of contact who everyone emails their medical files to. The CIA agrees with your assessment. The gist of what they found was: - Roughly 12 out of the ~250 cases they looked at were "likely" the intentional result of a hostile entity. - Another 12 were "possible," intentional acts. - That means between 4.5% and 9% of people (most likely closer to 4.5%) who had symptoms were the result of some intentional act. - Somewhere between 91% and 95.5% were not. - There was no large-scale coordinated campaign. Some of the incidents were related, but nothing connected the vast majority of them. - About half of the incidents have "likely and plausible" alternative explanations. Another ~40% have "possible" alternative explanations or have causes that are completely unknown. Shaheen seems to realize that her information is out of date given that she follows up her tweet where she claims to know the source with this one that notes that they don't know: https://twitter.com/SenatorShaheen/status/1488657699915112448 Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Feb 2, 2022 |

For this specific recall of ~50k cars with the autodrive feature, yes. They say that in the article. This is just the latest in a string of Tesla recalls, though. The others did require them to replace, refund, or service the vehicle. Those represent about 3/4 of the total recalled cars in the last few months. Although, I doubt those hurt Tesla too much. I don't know how many people will bother to go take advantage of the recall if their rear-view camera hasn't already broken from opening the trunk too many times or if it rarely gets below 15 degrees where they lives. I don't know if Tesla has given any update on how many people actually took them up on the previous recalls.

Honestly, after spending over two years as "The Washington Football Team," they should have just stuck with that. It is a lot funnier and more memorable than "The Commanders," which is a super generic name and has nothing specific to do with Washington, D.C. Hard to believe they needed two years to come up with that. https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1488870383340204043 They should have renamed themselves the Washington Football Agency (WFA) or The D.C. Department of Touchdowns. Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Feb 2, 2022 |

Looks like there may be yet another Tesla recall on the horizon. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1488883203070955522 quote:Tesla drivers report a surge in ‘phantom braking’ quote:NHTSA spokeswoman Lucia Sanchez said the agency is engaging in a dialogue with Tesla over the phantom braking reports. “NHTSA is aware of complaints received about forward collision avoidance and is reviewing them through our risk-based evaluation process,” she said. “This process includes discussions with the manufacturer, as well as reviewing additional data sources, including Early Warning Reporting data. If the data show that a risk may exist, NHTSA will act immediately.” quote:NHTSA opened a safety investigation in August over about a dozen reports of crashes with parked emergency vehicles while Autopilot was activated. quote:Some drivers recalled instances of phantom braking even when they were not using Autopilot. Other owners said in complaints to NHTSA that they were shaken by the incidents and feared being rear-ended. quote:“My wife has requested that I don’t use cruise control or autopilot while she’s in the car, as we experienced an unwarranted, aggressive automatic braking episode which caused great pressure against her pregnant belly on a previous road trip,” one owner said in a report. quote:He recalled an instance when his wife was driving at highway speeds of 55 to 60 mph and “it slammed on the brakes hard, sending our children’s booster seats slamming into the front seats.”
