I just saw a headline claiming that 200,000 Jeep/Dodge vehicles are to be recalled.

I loathe Musk as much as anyone but this doesn’t seem to be that unusual.

Except this is the 6th recall this year

How many recalls usually happen for new model vehicles?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

On average that number is below 1

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Anything other than Ford and Tesla? Somewhere between 1 and 0 per year. With the entire lifetime of the car typically being less than 5

Ford hands out recalls like candy which I'm actually OK with because it means they want to fix their stuff. Mopar also has a lot, but that's because their cars are shit.

Proportions and context. 200K of Jeep is nowhere close to the percentage of the total Cyber trucks produced.

The fact that it is less and less unusual is the problem. All manufacturers are making crap, and people are still buying it... That makes no sense to me.

It makes perfectly sense if your choice is crap or another crap.

You don't have to buy the last shinny thing every couple years. Too much consumption everywhere. Overconsuming is like cancer.
