  • Yeah, it’s an extremely popular sentiment on the internet to scoff at software update related recalls as if they “don’t count.” 9 times out of 10 the person making the claim is a Muskrat, because this is a very common thing with Teslas and daddy Elon must be defended at all costs but every now and then they’re just a run of the mill moron unwittingly parroting Muskrat talking points.

    A recall is a recall whether the issue can be patched OTA or whether you have to drive to a dealership so they can spend 30mins swapping a random seemingly inconsequential part. The specific mechanics of the solution do not change the fact that a problem required a recall to be issued to consumers. Perpetuating the notion that these recalls should be considered “less important than a real recall” is dangerous to the point of stupidity.


  • But this seems like a failed attempt at blackmail where the blackmailer is trying to follow through after not being paid. Not someone bravely standing up against discrimination and bigotry.

    I think this is one of situations where everyone is an asshole.

    Yeah this didn’t come to light out of altruism or a “coming to god” moment where their conscience suddenly came into play. But I also don’t care how or why bigots get exposed. No sympathy for an asshole getting screwed over by another asshole. If these are the kinds of games you play and this is the company you keep you’re gonna get burned eventually.
