It's worth pointing this out.
Not sure that Tesla should be opening the "what do words mean" can of worms right now.
I disagree with your point here, but whether correct or not you should be consistent: if words conjuring things is important, then the previous commenter's point is valid.
This recall only happened because, god forbid, the NHTSA got off its ass and actually tested something.
Where did you find this info? The article says it was Tesla that did a voluntary recall. The NHTSA was not the one who did any testing and was not involved in the decision. The report, which is linked in the article is authored by Tesla with no involvement from NHTSA.
If I am misinterpreting something I thank you in advance for pointing it out.
- On January 25, 2023 [..] NHTSA advised Tesla that it had identified potential concerns related to certain operational characteristics of FSD Beta in four specific roadway environments [..] NHTSA requested that Tesla address these concerns by filing a recall notice.
- In the following days, NHTSA and Tesla met numerous times to discuss the Agency’s concerns and Tesla’s proposed over-the-air (“OTA”) improvements in response.
- On February 7, 2023, while not concurring with the agency’s analysis, Tesla decided to administer a voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution
So yes, it was voluntary in the sense of "you don't want us to force you to do it" and it was indeed the NHTSA testing.
And that is before we get into whether it is appropriate to update something that can move with enough kinetic force to have various security agencies freaking out over possible scenarios in the future ( and likely cause for some of the recent safety additions like remote stop ).
In other words, just because he may be a hater does not make the argument not valid.
There are clearly far FAR better entrepreneurs in history but if you keep fellating him I'm sure Daddy Elon will love you one day. You got this, don't give up!
Carnegie was incredible as well.
I'm not saying Elon isn't impressive, he is. He's just not the MOST impressive.
One tiny space sailing company and a shoddy carriage company compare poorly to the empires of Standard Oil, Carnegie steel, Ford, and the side projects of these people (multiple high impact philanthropic enterprises). They're the literal hands that built America.
He's still young though, there's some hope for him.
So average poor Joe looks at Musk and instead of seeing him for what he is, he cheers him up, thinking "one day I will be like him [that rich], so I would want people to cherish me the way I cherish him now". I think we see that on every front, sadly including politics. I mean people like Boebert or MTG should have never had any power even to decide what mix to use to clean a dirty floor, yet alone deciding on millions of American's fate, but yet here we are...
If anything, this numbness and ignorance will grow.
