And no other car company has ever had recalls?Tesla recalls nearly half a million cars after issues increase risk of crashing
ELON MUSK’S Tesla needs to recall almost half a million cars due to safety issues. The car brand wants to recall 475,000 of its Model 3 and Model S electric vehicles in the US. Musk’s c…www.the-sun.com
The EV's will drive the ICE vehicles off the market by 2030. They will be less costly, have better performance, last longer, cost less in maintenance and fuel, and have longer range than ICE cars by 2025. The future batteries will be far more energy dense and last a minimum of 500,000 miles for most vehicles. Right now, Tesla's production for their vehicles is already sold out for most of 2022.Elon is a visionary in many ways. Being among the first to mass produce the stupid EVs was a big risk. His space launchers, global satellite internet and moving into power power production is amazing.
However, L-I battery technology for vehicles suck. It is fine for a lawn edger or power drill but does not upscale very well. An ecological disaster to produce, charge and dispose of.
Most people who buy those stupid things will regret it before the life cycle of the vehicle is completed.

Just think, you are one ignorant ass.You are confused Moon Bat.
Battery technology may be feasible in the future if there are some significant technological breakthroughs like maybe with solid state.
However that ain't this stupid L-I technology.
The batteries are costly, an ecological disaster to produce and dispose, have limited capacity, are a bitch to recharge, heavy as hell and limited longevity. Also, Lithium is actually more scarce than oil and it looks like Biden's Chinese buddies have cornered the world's supply.
Just think, China gets controls of most of the world's supply of rare earth medals, then they make the Biden family filthy rich and help him steal an election with the release of a bio weapon. Then Biden enacts stringent emission standards, which drives the forced use of terrible L-I batteries and then subsidies production and charging stations with our tax money. China prospers and we get stuck with the inefficient, uneconomical forced use of a failed technology.

The US has all the lithium it needs. The McDermitt Caldera straddles the Nevada-Oregon border. Just one deposit has enough lithium to supply 25% of the world's projected demand for the next 40 years. And there are several deposits.
Jindalee positive on McDermitt future
An initial scoping study into the McDermitt lithium project, in Oregon, has confirmed that the project could support a viable stand-alone lithium mining and processing operation. ASX-listed Jindalee Resources said on Thursday that the study had confirmed the potential to produce high quality...www.miningweekly.com

And there are several other places in Nevada and Oregon that have similar geology.
Well then you must have run out of oxygen, laughing at Toyota and Ford last year.I found the timing of your post and the headline... humorous.

Doubtful,because that would be a pretty stupid attempt at "gotcha!", given that recalls are pretty standard fare in the auto industry.Why? Did someone start a thread extolling the greatness of those automakers only to find the second post to be an article about their recalls?
How many do you feel should die before the madness is brought to a screeching halt?And while you are flapping your silly yap, Musk is on the way to another 300 billion with his very successful companies. And most of his vehicle production is sold out well into 2022.
Weren't millions of Model 3 Teslas just recalled AGAIN? This time the cabling is coming undone leaving the driver blind.
My son's $60K Model Y recently went dead in the middle of Atlanta rush hour traffic. Dead in one of the major commuter roads. Computer problem. Tied up traffic on a major highway for an hour and a half until they could get a tow truck. The Atlanta police that had to manage the massive traffic congestion were pissed.
Unfortunately for many of us that ship has sailed a long time ago. I kept my cars running myself in the 1960s but I am at a lost to work on cars nowadays.I still like a car that if something goes wrong, I can open the hood, see and understand everything there, test and diagnose the problem myself with my eyes and ears and maybe a meter, then fix it with a screwdriver, a piece of wire, or a few wraps of duct tape.
