【Tesla criticizes the requirement for written notification of vehicle recalls: a waste of time and money】Jin10 Data, December 23 - On Sunday local time, Tesla's Vice President of Finance, Sandhir Palani, expressed regret over the policy by U.S. regulators requiring automakers to send written notifications to owners affected by recalls, stating that it is a waste of time and money. He also said, "In Tesla's case, the issues are often resolved before the mail is delivered." This is because many problems are addressed through wireless software updates. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated last Friday that Tesla would recall nearly 700,000 vehicles due to issues with the tire pressure monitoring system warning lights. Palani estimated that just for this recall, sending written notifications to customers could cost Tesla up to $506,000. (Source: Jin10 Data)
