Perhaps, but it's still important to draw attention to mistakes, for transparency and accountability.

Additionally, other "recalls" for other car companies may similarly be minor software changes. The only distinguishing factor with Tesla is OTA deployment.

Sure.

When was the last time that a software mistake for Windows or Mac OSX or their Phone made people think they had to take their computer to the computer shop for a session with a technician?

When was the last time those things weighted over 2tons and were barreling down public roads? How is that even slightly relevant.

A Tesla is a car, not a piece of personal electronics. Different safety standards.

Yet that's the most important factor when calling it a "recall".

Tesla themselves calls defects which can be fixed via OTA updates recalls.
