Surely Tesla owners accept the recalls @Stonehedge because they want to be at the bleeding edge?
That's got to be a large part of it. Kind of reminds me of the long period of my life I insisted on having smartphones before the iphone was invented or Android was a thing. They were ropey as fuck and not very practical but I still "needed" one because they were bleeding edge.
Tesla are Palm and Blackberry AICMFP. Would be particularly amusing if the iphone of electric vehicles turned out to be the iCar :D They've had about 5,000 people working on it for years in relative secrecy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_electric_car_project

There's an argument that recalls are a sign of a manufacturer that cares about quality. Also, nearly all of these are in the U.S. and we all know that U.S. car manufacturing quality is awful.
Toyota make 10 million vehicles a year, how many have they made in total?
There's no way that 40% of Toyota purchases have needed warranty repairs.
