Tesla To Push Software Update To Over 1 Million Cars Per China Regulator via insideevs.com
The article was never updated with more details, though, more recently,published a second article about the same topic. The second article claims Tesla will push a software update to over 1.1 million EVs, according to a Chinese regulator. While the US automaker is using a free software update to address an issue, it's still considered a recall if the regulator believes it involves a safety issue.
The Chinese regulator is concerned that drivers don't have the option to turn off regenerative braking in Tesla's EVs. Moreover, the regulator believes Tesla's cars should issue more warnings when drivers step hard on the accelerator, since stomping on the accelerator can result in a crash. The Tesla software update will restore a setting that allows the driver to turn off regenerative braking. It will also add new warnings that alert a driver when they step hard on the accelerator pedal.Tesla's vehicles, along with many other EVs, are capable of being driven with one pedal. This means you push the accelerator pedal to progress forward or in reverse, and lift off to slow down and eventually stop.
Chinese regulators believe this may not happen as often if the drivers were using both pedals as we do in gas-powered cars. The request for the recall was issued after a Tesla Model Y driver in China lost control and killed two people. Tesla data showed that the driver never applied the brakes during the crash.
