Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Tesla has released a free OTA software update and owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 22. However, this does not necessarily mean the recall is legitimate or effective in addressing the issue at hand. Additionally, the article contains inflammatory rhetoric when it states that there have been no reports of crashes, injuries or deaths related to this condition. This statement may be seen as downplaying the severity of the issue and could potentially mislead readers. The author also uses a dichotomous depiction by stating that Tesla has not received any reports of camera feeds not displaying on certain affected vehicles, except for the rearview camera feed, on Dec 26. This implies that all other cameras are functioning properly which may be false.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article mentions a recall for a software bug that prevented rearview camera image display but does not mention anything about Tesla's latest financial outlook or aggressive price cuts. This creates an impression that the recall is solely related to safety concerns and ignores other important information about Tesla's business performance. Secondly, the article quotes Ryan Browne as its author without disclosing his affiliation with CNBC, which could be seen as a conflict of interest since CNBC has reported on Tesla in the past. Lastly, the article uses sensationalist language such as 'record one' and 'grim financial outlook' to create an emotional response from readers without providing any evidence or context for these claims.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has recalled nearly 200,000 vehicles due to a software bug in Tesla's full self-driving 4.0 system. However, this statement is not supported with any evidence or quotes from the NHTSA website. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that the recall follows a record one last month and that it came after a series of deadly crashes involving Tesla's Autopilot software that were investigated by the NHTSA. This statement is not accurate as there have been no fatalities directly linked to this specific recall. The author also uses an informal fallacy by stating that Tesla shares closed down 12% on Wednesday off the back of disappointing guidance, but fails to provide any context or evidence for this claim.
