美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）上周五表示，由于轮胎压力监测系统警示灯的一个问题，特斯拉将召回694304辆Cybertruck、Model 3和Model Y。为了解决这个问题，特斯拉发布了一款无线软件更新。On Sunday local time, Tesla's Vice President of Finance Sendil Palani expressed regret over the USA regulatory agencies' policy requiring automakers to send written notifications to affected owners for recalls, believing that this is a waste of time and money.
Palani stated in court on the X platform: "OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) must cover printing costs, postage (now up to $0.73 per letter), and administrative expenses."
He also mentioned: "In Tesla's case, the issues are usually resolved before the mail is delivered," as many problems are addressed through wireless Software updates.
The USA National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced last Friday that Tesla will recall 694,304 units of Cybertruck, Model 3, and Model Y due to an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system warning light. To address this issue, Tesla released a wireless Software update.
According to Palani's estimates, sending written notifications to customers in this recall alone could potentially cost Tesla up to $0.506 million.
Palani also stated on Sunday that with regard to Tesla's recalls, problems are "usually" resolved before owners receive the mail because many issues are fixed through wireless Software updates.
In July this year, Tesla recalled over 1.8 million Autos due to concerns that an unlatched hood might fully open while driving, obstructing the driver's view and increasing the risk of accidents. The company also resolved this issue through a wireless update at that time.
