Tesla is recalling nearly 200,000 vehicles in the U.S. because the backup camera may not function while the car is in reverse.
The recall covers certain Models Y, S and X from the 2023 model year. All are equipped with “Full Self-Driving” computer 4.0 and run software version 2023.44.30 through 2023.44.30.6 or 2023.44.100.

The company says in documents posted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that software instability may prevent the camera image from showing images while the Teslas are in reverse. The safety agency says that can increase the risk of a crash.
Tesla says in documents that it is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Documents say the problem has been fixed with an online software update.
Owners will be notified by letter starting March 22.

Tesla said in documents that it is not aware of any crashes, injuries or deaths related to the issue.
Tesla began getting complaints about the problem in late December and decided to do a recall on Jan. 12, documents say. As of Jan. 22, the company had 81 warranty claims potentially related to the problem.
Teslas cannot drive themselves despite having a “Full Self-Driving” system, and human drivers have to be ready to intervene at all times.

It's been trending downward for years.

Literally nobody can explain why a car company has this high of a valuation, but produces nowhere near as many cars as any of the big 3. A lot of people were just sold on techno snake oil.



Mind you, a lot of the downsides to EV's that were discussed in online circles for years started making their way to the average EV owner in recent months.

Poor EV charging infrastructure,unreliable charging stations, inability to use your vehicle in/post extreme weather conditions etc.

The Hertz Lyft rental program been selling off their rent-a-Tesla fleet for the low. That tells you what you need to know. You’d be crazy to do Lyft full time driving a rented Tesla in Baltimore or DC. :whoa:Some project baby 10 year olds relieving you of that shyt real quick.
Bro they selling it off because those teslas are high mileage.. they selling them off before the battery warranty is up.. it’s the same thing with their regular gas cars.. They sell them off after 1 to 3 years to buy newer cars..

Stop falling down okey doke… If anything this your opportunity to get a Tesla on the cheap while dumb asses still upside town other loans from a few years ago

They have a high valuation because they are an AI company. The cars just fund their actual projects.
