Yes, I wonder how many of the buyers died and will die waiting for delivery.

Let's do a ballpark estimation…
With over 2 million pre-orders, mostly in the USA, and the death rate in the 25-64 age group at 529 deaths per year per 100,000 population in the US, assuming an average waiting time of 4 years, and assuming the majority of buyers are in the age 25-64 group and evenly distributed by age, the number of people who paid a $250 refundable deposit but would die waiting for the delivery is on the order of magnitude of 42,000.

2 million Tesla vehicles have been RECALLED. Google it.
EVs are just a pipe dream.

"Recall" = OTA firmware update to monitor drivers more strictly to prevent an abuse of autopilot. Also it has nothing to do with EV as such. :palm:. BTW how many ICE cars were recalled due to potential airbag explosion? Last number I've seen was 67 million. But I doubt manufacturers/dealerships and vehicle owners in Russia really bothered to replace them. But I would not call ICE to be a dead due to that, especially because it actually has nothing to do with ICE.
EDIT: just googled that Russian АвтоВАЗ and УАЗ didn't even announce a recall despite using them too.
Psi:
Hm.. A "recall" that's just an OTA update to add extra annoyances to the cars interface just to account for a small percentage of the population that's too stupid to use autopilot correctly without it.
Can't say I agree with this nanny state BS.
If a person cannot understand the simple concept that they are fully responsible for everything the car does while on autopilot then they probably shouldn't be on the road in the first place.
