How many probes/investigations are we at now with Tesla because of shoddy build quality or false claims?

Another classic video game UX like Mario Kart should help everybody forgot about these issues!

Software update: If your steering wheel falls off, you can plug in your xbox controller to drive the car.

That is scary. So 2 reports caused the investigation from NHTSA. Some ID.4 owners while driving are having issues with door opening and reported it. Did that also trigger investigation?

Probably similar number to FSD crashing into emergency responder vehicles...

The number is insignificant compared to issues with other cars (for example iD4s stalling), but it is a scarier scenario with steering wheel in your hand.

If your steering wheel falls off, one will appear on the touchscreen and you can steer from there.

To save on costs, they made the steering wheel bolts optional.

So, I'm really confused here guys... is this a catching problem, like herpes? Should I not park next to a Tesla or a Nissan? Because forgetting steering wheel bolts seems to be spreading...

2023 Nissan Ariya Recalled Over Steering Wheel That Might Fall Off

Nissan said the cause is a steering wheel bolt that "may have been tightened incorrectly or not installed;" dealers will replace it free of charge.

IIRC, Elon said that "All user input equals error," so this is a feature, not a bug. The car is rejecting the error sitting behind the wheel because it knows better.

Obligatory:

Some of them are built so the steering wheel doesn't fall off at all.
