Tesla recalling 1.1M vehicles over automatic windows
The Hill ^ | 09/22/2022 | Brad Dress

Tesla is recalling more than 1 million vehicles over concerns with automatic systems for car windows that can pinch a driver or passenger and cause injury when closing.

In a letter to Tesla, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirmed the company’s notice that it is recalling the Tesla Model 3 for the years 2017 to 2022, the Tesla Model Y for 2020-2021 and the 2021-2022 Model S and Model X vehicles.

In those models, the automatic reversal system for windows does not adequately detect an obstruction, such as a person’s arm or hand, and can continue to roll up and injure a driver or passenger.

“I get 89 miles per gallon at 65mph.”

Have you ever run it at 65 long enough to determine if those published specs are accurate?

How are things down at the used EV lot? Making any sales today?

"No sir, the drop cord does not come with the car. But, if you sign right now, we'll include a complimentary fire extinguisher!"

All cars should have fire extinguishers.

RX 450h is much higher, but has a serious price tag.

Yeah, I considered the 450h, but, it was just a consideration and no real interest. The RX 350 is nice looking, which is why my wife liked it, but in reality, I wanted the Hyundai Palisade, which was not so good on MPG, but, was nicer internally and more roomy, withe even nicer tech features. I may opt for the Palisade hybrid.

According to iSeeCars.com, the average vehicle depreciates 35 percent after three years, but not all vehicles have the same depreciation. In fact, the highest-depreciating vehicles lose between 46 and 52 percent of their value within three years, making them great cars to buy on the used car market.

Tesla guarantees that you can get 75% back after 3 years.

- Appears to be online a lot.
- Gives multiple replies regularly to a poster that are not even necessarily in order of context.
- Has trouble following a chain of replies it is not part of

I’m guessing it is a bot.

My 07 Toyota truck window not only stops for an obstruction, it rolls back down.

Just freeking wonderful if you’re being carjacked.

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

“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.”

Is that a high performance vehicle? My ancient 2008 Nissan Frontier pickup with 4WD and 140k miles gets 19.5 in town and 23 on the highway, with a V6, 261 horses.

“As backwards as it may sound, these people feel better about themselves by making others feel worse.

They will typically have low self-esteem, and their misguided way of boosting it is to take aim at another person.

Even though they, themselves, are insecure, a common technique they’ll use is to pinpoint the insecurities of others.

Their ego will get temporary relief from its own pain by inflicting hurt upon someone else.”

You could also apply that statement to the economic doomers/wailers around here that are complete experts on the FED, stock market, etc. but don’t have 2 cents to rub together.

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

The next new model will be called "The Christina". If the buyer prefers a male name, "Hal".

So says the clown that posted I just did not drive as spiffy a car as you and your Hot Wheels toy and was jealous.

You chose to be a fluffer for liberal virtue signaling trinkets.

Own it, and your persona as a liberal fanbois.

I think we have reached a point where our tools, that should be under the total control of the physical user, can now do things that user doesn’t want them to do.

Yes. Within ten days, Elon Musk will be introducing the latest Tesla Bot robot, which is said to be going into production by end of this year.

In past interviews, Elon Musk has warned about the perils of AI becoming sentient. Imagine having the Tesla Bot giving you a massage, and going rogue.
