The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) noted the fix is an OTA update, some of which have already been deployed. Musk and Tesla argue that using 'recall' for such updates is outdated, suggesting 'Software Recall' as a more accurate term.

PETA proposes replacing Punxsutawney Phil with a coin for Groundhog Day predictions, citing the groundhog's low accuracy. The tradition, dating back to the 1800s, attracts thousands annually. Despite Phil's predictions, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) showed positive returns on Groundhog Day for the last five years, with no significant impact from the event. Groundhog Day 2024 may see increased stock market volatility due to major company reports from Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), and Meta Platforms (META), coinciding with the release of Apple Vision Pro headsets.
