I'm far from a fan of Tesla and this is just clickbait. Yes they have the most "recalls", but as quite a few have already said, those are software updates that can be handled without taking the car in, or a tech will come to the car wherever it is.

On the other hand, my Toyota RAV4 Prime had a recall where the car might shut off while driving in EV mode in cold weather! I had to take it to the dealer to get that fixed, which was a software update and probably could have been done OTA. Further to note, Toyota sends out messages to each car on the 1st of each month stating they need to perform certain recalls. Sometimes even AFTER they're been done, simply because Toyota pulls data from dealers' databases instead it up so the dealers' network pushes the completed service information.

So yeah, Tesla doing a series of software patches to address....whatever it is they're addressing isn't bad at all. At least the owners don't need to take it in for a patch that takes all day, then continue to receive messages for months after the patch has been applied that they need the patch.
