    Its a recall not in the refund way but in the "we will send you a fix" kinda way. Apparently they can software-update it away, but the fact that it happened not only on basically every Tesla built in China but also the imports would mean that Tesla already has been selling the same cars to americans

      Yep, once again people will confuse China's more stringent heath and safety policies for them being less healthy and safe.

      The Australian show Rake literally had a whole season about a bunch of Austrian politicians doing sinophobia about a Chinese company buying their beloved "Aus Ripple" ice cream bar company. Then being told that they needed to sell because it turns out that the food coloring that had been used for 70 years was based on DDT and the Chinese wouldn't allow import unless it was produced domestically lol.
