While I agree that this is a serious error in the design or tuning of the vehicle, a modern car is an extremely complex piece of kit and it would be miraculous if any new design didn’t incorporate several similar flaws.

Engineering to factory is a very complex path fraught with noise from the process, and very subtle and seemingly insignificant tweaks often add up to significant problems in complex designs.

That there was a flaw in the process is not the least bit surprising or even disappointing, every single new vehicle design brought to market will have numerous tweaks and modifications or recalls over the first few years of fielding the design.

That the flaw was safety critical is unfortunate, but that a major automaker that typically handles things responsibly (with some notable historical exceptions) responded in an appropriate way is the system functioning nominally as it should.

That new companies with a more “tech” oriented approach would probably have silently pushed a performance degrading software update instead of fixing the problem is a harsh indictment of a deeply flawed engineering culture.
