    Tesla's Model S Seat Belt Recall Isn't Actually a Big Deal | WIRED

    If I were 100 miles from a service center, it'd be an easy DIY project ... maybe 35 seconds?

    More like one minute per side.
    I received an email yesterday with this notice.
    It had a link to schedule an appointment.
    So I stopped by today, the manager was in the parking lot as I pulled in. He came over, we chatted a bit and he showed me what they were checking.

    Very simple and straightforward.
    I heard Tesla's goal is to have all 90,000 cars checked in ten days.
    I also heard they suspect the one occurrence of this in Europe may have been due to some after market adjustments, but they want to be sure.

    I wish more companies would take safety issues so seriously and handle them so efficiently.

    Be glad it wasn't a VW, they blame everything on the customer, before the investigation. ;)

    Across the industry flaws happen. Everything from Major to Minor.
    For Tesla as well as everyone the key is reaction.

    Recent history surely has illustrated that an honest reaction to a discovered problem is the way to go.

    This is very, very minor, and Tesla is reacting exactly as they should.
