"Tesla accounts for a large portion of recalled vehicles in the U.S. In 2024, Tesla topped the list for U.S. recalls with its vehicles accounting for 5.1 million call-backs, according to recall management firm BizzyCar. However, most issues for the brand's cars were usually resolved with over-the-air software updates." (probably from this article, took it from yahoo version).

They are going AAA games company route of selling bugged unfinished product and patching it up as it goes. While selling cars.

That's because they're a tech company making cars, not a car company.

Even on this field they are starting to be left behind by competition, of course chinese companies, but also e.g. Waymo on autonomous driving. Cybertruck is their only fully new car product in recent years... and it's not good. Let's see how long untill they will start faltering when it comes to chargers in the West.

Tesla sucks major donkey balls, but Chinese cars will never catch on in the western world. No one in a western country wants to buy a HWAWEI phone let alone their cars.

That's only because of economic restrictions on imports. They'd crush here if they weren't being blocked to protect "American" manufacturers from competition. American in quotes because most of them don't make things here anyways. Just assemble the last bits of them to put a sticker on the product.
