Several, including recently Toyota and Subaru who have been making cars for more than half a century.

You just don't hear about them because negative news about Tesla is heavily amplified on HN, Reddit and in the media, and bad news about other carmakers is buried.

In fairness, it wasn’t the wheels falling off that attracted coverage so much as the systemic attempt to dodge responsibility for the problem.

If it was widespread, the NHTSA would have forced Tesla to recall the cars. Tesla sold 1.8 million cars just in 2023. It's hard to impossible to hide accidents, injuries and fatalities resulting from wheels falling off.

No, not "negative news about Tesla", but all news about Tesla. They put themselves on the pedestal by choice, it's not exactly a conspiracy.

I generally don't see any news about other car makers at all unless there's a major issue.
