    More Than 2 Million Teslas Are Recalled Due to Autopilot Errors

      This recall spans from the 2012 Model S to all current Teslas  with Autosteer.

    The National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received a recall from Tesla covering 2,031,220 vehicles. Products affected span from the 2012-2023 Model S, 2016-2023 Model X, 2020-2023 Model Y, and 2017-2023 Model 3. These recalls are for those vehicles with Autosteer. Tesla's Autosteer system, in certain scenarios, would fail to consider driver awareness or emergency driver intervention. This leads to potential misuse or cancellation issues. 

    After testing the Autosteer technology, the NHTSA stated, "In certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, the prominence and scope of the feature's controls may not be sufficient to prevent driver misuse of the SAE Level 2 advanced driver-assistance feature." 

    Tesla's response to the problems will be to send out an over-the-air (OTA) software update to address these issues. This update will include additional alerts and control beyond what the current system has. When Autosteer is activated, there will be more checks on the driver outside controlled-access highways. There is a possibility that Tesla will suspend Autosteer for those driving irresponsibly. 

    As of midday on December 7th, 2023, Tesla's fleet has received a soft release to incorporate the necessary updates and enhancements.

    • You have the Ford CEO stating how superior their software and driving dynamics are compared to their own EVs. Clearly the rest of the world is happy with driving them even if China is spying on them via the auto. Hard to deny he feelings / thoughts on the Chinese EV. Ford CEO Farley Praises His Chinese EV, Says 'I Don't Want To Give It Up'
    • Yes, VW EVs do not have a well-regulated battery pack. I feel they rushed it and did not do the R&D to test the build a proper battery pack that would have minimal degradation.
    • I could justify it for under 30k. I'm sure it's still a "good" vehicle, just nothing worthy of full MSRP in the 60-70k range. But, even at 29k, I still wouldn't be too thrilled about 230 miles of range, because in the winter it'll be nearly cut in half. 
    • There is one thing that Im most worried about.  A desperate, down on his luck, meth addict will resort to violence when his cash is low. The usa is this eventual desperate, down on his luck, meth addict.  Already, the usa has threatened Canada's sovereignty a year ago before when the usa still had strong economic power. That economic power is fading away real fast.   1. trump relied on his 51st state rhetoric again and called Carney governor when he and his idiot cabinet realized the big words Carney used against the usa at Davos. Blames the China deal though as to disguise the fact that when Carney was speaking, he and his posse did not understand one spoken word.  2. Scott Bessent, born in south carolina, goes to show you HIS intelligence level regardless if he is a Yale grad, also flaps his lips in bravado...a full phoquing week  past by when he realized what that speech from Carney meant.  Still though...words of full of fight from Bessent to Canada though.   3. Pete Hoekstra talks tough of sending the us airforce into Canada if Canada does not follow through with the F35 purchases. 4. trump verbally attacking not only Greenland's sovereignty, but Denmark's and even Europe as a whole... 5. trump kidnaps Venezuelan's leader along with his wife stealing or trying to steal Venezuela's oil.  Bet you though that trump's friends are reaping from that operation... 6. innocent americans are losing their life murdered by trump's gestapo army called ice.   And all that when the usa is not suffering yet. When it comes to that, the usa is still a powerful military force, what WILL this administration do?     This situation is very alarming more so than the Cuban missile crisis.   And that is why news leaked out that Canada is preparing for a usa invasion and how Canada is to deal with it...
