Update your Tesla now before the windows put your fingers in a pinch
Tesla owners ought to check for firmware updates, or risk their windows proving to be less than armless.] by America's National Highway and and Traffic Safety Administration earlier this week, windows on affected vehicles may fail to detect obstructions and put customers at risk of a “pinching injury.”
The notice estimates the issue affects roughly 1,100,000 US customers who have bought Muskmobiles in the past five years. That includes Model S and X vehicles manufactured between 2021 and 2022, Model 3s manufactured between 2017 and 2022, and Model Ys manufactured between 2020 and 2022. Specifically, the software fix, we're told, will recalibrate the vehicle’s automatic window reversal system to avoid potential injuries. Meanwhile, vehicles delivered to customers after September 13 have already been patched to mitigate the issue.
While supplies of some chips may be improving, shortages of other components continue to dog the auto industry. Reuters reports that Toyota now expects to produce roughly 800,000 vehicles globally in October, around 100,000 fewer than expected.
