its not a malicious term its the NHTSA legal term, and what tesla will call it too when they mail out owner notification letters about the problem in February to anyone with a :
model y (20-23) model x (16-23) model s (12-23) model 3 (17-23)
model y (20-23) model x (16-23) model s (12-23) model 3 (17-23)
NVM the fact that customers will get them months after the work has automatically been done. :facepalm
Here’s what they’re required to do:
> In the case of a notification required to be sent by a motor vehicle manufacturer, by certified mail, verifiable electronic means such as receipts or logs from electronic mail or satellite distribution system, or other more expeditious and verifiable means to all dealers and distributors of the vehicles that contain the defect or noncompliance.
