What data are you using?

How many of Ford Motor's 58 recalls in 2023 made HN's front page?

Meanwhile Tesla updates the car UIs icon sizes via a software update, and there are headlines all over the media including HN stating that Tesla recalled millions of cars, omitting that it was a software update.

That makes people like the GP think Teslas have disproportionately worse issues, which appears to be the objective.
