Recalls were bound to happen for Tesla. They are part of life for any car maker. What is different for Tesla is the growing pains. They have an expanding fleet of cars. Some, like my Model 3 from 2019 are moving out of warranty and will need maintenance. Tesla built manufacturing, now they have build out to provide service. That is not happening fast enough. My experience is that there are delays in scheduling appointments, issues obtaining repair parts, inconvenience of long drives to a service center if you live away from a metro area, difficulty getting a human on the phone, and lastly, no independent mechanics who are able to do work under warranty. Car has been otherwise great.
The other thing I would add is that I do not understand the intensity of hatred for Elon expressed in some posts. He has vision, and what he has done has been amazing. Also, he's investing in new technology and in NA. Why not aim some of the ire you feel where is is really deserved like toward GM or AT&T? Neither has done anything remarkable in the last 20 years.
