Other manufacturers have recalls too, for equally dangerous conditions, but only Tesla ever makes the news (I'm not defending Tesla, just proving a point). CT has been out for ~4 months, 4k units delivered, platform engineered from scratch, new low voltage system, steer by wire, ...... inevitably something will slip.

Compare a brand-new everything to minor updates to existing cars:

- https://www.cbsnews.com/news/toyota-recall-50000-corolla-rav...

- https://www.cbsnews.com/news/toyota-recall-rav4-suv-2023/

- https://www.cbsnews.com/news/toyota-recall-tundra-fire-risk/

And this is just Toyota, which as far as I can gather is considered reliable and trustworthy.

This bald-faced lie is revealed by the very news you share further down your comment.

> (I'm not defending Tesla, just proving a point)

Your argument takes the form of a whataboutism, which does not actually prove anything.
