[The Morning After]( Now available on your smart speaker and wherever you get your podcasts [Apple Podcasts]( | [Spotify]( | [Google Play]( | [iHeart Radio]( It's Wednesday, November 09, 2022. Less than two months after it admitted a million vehicles had faulty window sensors, Tesla is issuing another large-scale recall. This time, the company is [flagging more than 40,000 cars]( after a software defect cut power steering when driving over potholes. A software fix is rolling out, and Tesla said over 97 percent of affected vehicles already have the new code. This is, however, the 17th recall Tesla has issued in 2022, with issues affecting more than 3.4 million vehicles. It adds weight to Tesla’s critics, too, who say the company’s poor build quality hurts its ability to recruit would-be EV buyers. But despite the number of post-purchase issues, the company hasn’t seen any harm to its bottom line, which saw profits double in the last year. – Dan Cooper The biggest stories you might have missed - [Zoom is adding email and calendar features to take on other workspace platforms]( - [MediaTek's latest Dimensity chip supports WiFi 7 and ray tracing]( - [LG's latest display can stretch by 20 percent]( - ['God of War: Ragnarok' is bigger but not massively better]( - [The best gifts for coffee lovers in 2022]( - [Google and Renault are developing a 'software-defined vehicle' together]( - [GoPro's Hero 11 Black is now $50 off with a one-year subscription]( [Crypto giant Binance is buying its rival FTX following a very public dispute]( FTX was once valued at $32 billion.
