I just can't get into these EV cars. Seems like a big scam.

“windows that can pinch a driver or passenger and cause injury when closing”

The batteries explode, the autodriving can crash your car, and now even the windows are trying to hurt you. Sounds like “Maximum Overdrive”.

Keep your dick out of the window track.

I miss power windows that only work when you hold the button. I am constantly fighting the actions of those automatic ones. Not everyone always wants the windows all the way up or all the way down.

It’s an over the air software update. It will be all over in a few days. It shouldn’t really be called a “recall” because nobody has to bring their car to a service center.

When Teslas get recalled, do they automatically drive themselves back to the factory?

My daughter had ordered a Tesla SUV, then, she saw that it just didn’t make sense to get one, other than it being a status symbol. She then went and got an Explorer instead. She’s happy with the change. She also has a VW Atlas, which is nice too.

Me? I got the RX 350, although I’m thinking of trading it in for something with a better MPG rating: it gets around 18 mpg, which is horrible. Toyota has to make big improvements in that area.

I would think hand cranked windows would be better for the environment!

Fortunately, not even one ICE car in the entire history of the automobile industry has ever experienced any issue whatsoever. LOL. Even so, the entire global auto industry continues persistently transitioning from antiquated ICE to technologically rapidly-advancing EV. Go figure.

I don’t like EVs either but all ICE builders have recalls too, and windows have nothing to do with propulsion.

I would have a new (https://www.crosleyautoclub.com/AfricaCrosley/brutal_test.html) over a Tesla, if it was still made!

I’d like to be able to find a nice, comfortable, powerful, good handling, reliable and simple car with less junk on it than more. No video, no computer, no auto park, no cameras and such. Anything beyond power door locks and windows is too much.

I wish someone made a glider version of the Buick LuCerne with a Northstar V8. Reasonably priced, I’d buy one in a heartbeat and drive it another 150,000 miles or more.
