Tesla Recalls 1.1 Million Cars in China Over Safety Concerns

Reports of a "massive recall" of over 1.1 million Tesla cars in China due to regenerative braking issues are not a recall at all. The issue is the lack of an option for drivers to choose the regenerative braking strategy, which could increase the risk of mistakenly stepping on the accelerator pedal for a long time. The "recall" will be solved with an Over-the-Air update, which is the same as the reintroduction of the "Low" regenerative braking mode in the US. Tesla has been dealing with outdated terminology in terms of recalls, and OTA updates are still technically considered a recall by some agencies.
