What Happened: “Yeah, this needs to stop,” Musk said on X. The CEO was responding to an X user who posted pictures of letters sent by Tesla over a recall. However, the user noted that there was nothing for him to do about the recall given that it was fixed via an OTA update already and that the agency only wasted paper by sending him a notice on paper.
Why It Matters: Musk and several other Tesla executives have previously even condemned the use of the word ‘recall’ for vehicle issues that are fixed via an over-the-air (OTA) software update.
The CEO has previously also termed the use of recall for OTA updates "flat out wrong."
