Another day, another recall for Tesla. Over 2 million cars including the Model Cybertruck, Model X, Model Y, and Model S have been flagged to fix a serious safety defect.

Here’s an interesting perspective on this recall and the ongoing severe lack of quality with Tesla.

It’s a seemingly never ending list at this point. I’ve lost count of Tesla’s recalls, and I just can’t be bothered to keep hitting the ‘next page’ on this website. From the start, Musk seemed to make arbitrary design and manufacturing decisions, like sourcing consumer-grade screens and electronics that couldn’t survive the extreme environmental conditions that automobiles go through (those screens, of course, failed, which prompted a real recall program that reached all the way to China and an investigation by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority).

Perhaps we should just call them “yet another nail in Tesla’s reputation,” or “yet another sign of what happens when you offer overpriced cars with bland design and crappy construction standards”…

Without fraud there would be no Tesla.

If we aren’t supposed to use the word recall to describe an exploding number of serious defects and symptoms of fraud, we might as well start talking about them as nails in the Tesla coffin.

I wrote about the new Minnesota pedestrian death, and then the new California pedestrian death, so now here’s the news from NY to bring it all together for 2024.

A Tesla taxi mowed down a pedestrian while “on autopilot” in a busy New York City street Thursday night, the driver has claimed.

This crash is literally what I have been describing in my conference presentations and writing since 2016 as the logical outcome to Tesla fraud. More Tesla means more death.

It’s notable not only because Tesla deaths continue to get worse and worse, but because it’s a matter of national security when millions of these low-quality easily-hacked road robots can be directed/tampered like cheap Chinese missiles to murder Americans.

Sacramento police say the Tesla ran over a woman crossing the street.

A CHP spokesperson said a Tesla was going westbound on Marconi Avenue when the driver hit the woman, who was crossing the street from north to south.

Notably, standing out on California roads even with police flashing warning lights, the reporter is wearing a bright yellow safety vest to reduce her likelihood of being killed by a Tesla.

Chilling details are emerging from a case in Minnesota, where a Tesla apparently killed a woman walking her dogs.

Apart from spelling out the evidence the BCA has in hand so far, the affidavit also disclosed that two women told investigators they saw Donovan’s body on the hood of a smaller SUV heading north on the highway, with her head near the windshield.

Her body was lodged onto the hood until she fell off and was run over and left behind.

The story indicates the Tesla owner slept or otherwise ignored his road robot while it was killing someone.

State investigators have seized an SUV and questioned the owner of the vehicle they suspect was involved in a hit-and-run crash that killed a longtime family doctor as she walked her dogs near Lake Mille Lacs last fall.

The seizure of the gray 2022 Tesla X is among several pieces of evidence detailed in a court document filed Tuesday afternoon that point to an Edina man as the person who hit 56-year-old Cathy Ann Donovan around sunset on Nov. 13 along northbound Hwy. 169 near the southern shore of Lake Mille Lacs.

The man claiming to have no knowledge of any crash, and never stopping despite a pedestrian being flung onto his windshield and then run over, to me says negligent homicide by Autopilot.

Update March 13: Police say they don’t think it was that Tesla.
