Agreed. The concept of judging vehicle quality by number of recalls is severely flawed for this very reason. My Subaru Impreza has had a number of recalls for a variety of trivial things, but I’ve had only one actual issue with it in 65k miles and have spent relatively little on maintenance. Comparing that to the Audi A4 I had before this car which required maybe one recall in similar mileage but I was constantly fixing major items from leaks, broken drive related components, etc.
Neither had any motor related issues so far, aside from burning oil in the Audi. But by number of recalls? That Audi was great! But they also had a number of lawsuits filed in attempt to get them to actually recall the multitude of problems. The one that it actually had was the result of them losing such a suit, but so many years later it really didn’t matter.
So yeah, terrible metric to track. At this point, I’d rather see that the company has a dozen recalls on their vehicles than zero.
Edit: I should clarify. That being said, I do believe Toyota actually makes a solid car the first time. Boring, but quality is a huge focus for them. I’m still hesitant to trust recall counts though and I don’t think I’d trust Mercedes number as a valid quality metric.
I wanted my last name.com but that was parked by someone asking for “upwards of 6 figures” so I got it .org and use it as my email on my resume.
But depends on what you’re doing with it. Com, net, org are generally all the most recognized and most well perceived. But if you’re looking to run a business, I’d say it depends on the business. A lot of modern and smaller tech companies are going for relevance rather than recognition, but if you put “burgershopname.food” on a billboard, it won’t be clear that it’s the website. On the flip side, if your target market is online ads, it’d be easier to link users via a clickable link or focus on SEO to get your link to come up that the domain name won’t even matter.
