Almost all car recalls are voluntary because once it becomes a mandatory recall the government can require them to provide a buyback option to the vehicle owner.

oh, that would be amazeballs to have Tesla reimburse the cost of the FSD purchase. i never drank the Tesla kool-aid, so it would be good karma to see them get dinged for the snake-oil they've sold as FSD
Oh no, it wouldn't be a FSD buyback, it would be a car buyback at damn near purchase price... which is why manufactures avoid it at all costs.

ยง 30120(a)(1)(A)(iii) by refunding the purchase price, less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.
