Silicon Valley’s favorite car company, the maker of seriously overpriced electric cars Tesla has issued a safety recall for all its vehicles.
The recall effects all Tesla vehicles manufactured before April 22, 2009 (all 345 of them), and relate to a manufacturing default of a part that causes the Tesla’s to experience “uncharacteristic handling,” what ever that means.
Tesla owner Jason Calacanis noted proudly that Tesla is offering to come to the homes of Tesla owners to fix the problem, and so they should given how much owners pay for them, something upwards of $101,000. Calacanis claims that other cars also experience recalls, and that’s true, however it would appear that the likelihood of a recall may be relative to the price, that is, the more your spend, the more likely you’re going to get a recall.
Jason has the full notice of the Tesla recall available here.

“…manufacturing default of a part…”
Default?

Of course, the fact that Lotus the original designer of the car has a recall going for their analog models, just does not enter into Mr Riley's article. And no parts are to be replaced. A torquing of a nut will be tightened, nothing more.
And BTW, this car is FAR less pricey compared to the cars that it compares to.
