Ah yes, an article citing a well-renowned German regulatory body, a classic troll.
The article mentions nothing of the sort, and given that these are inspections of everyone’s cars, you’re saying that simply all Model 3 owners refuse to have their car serviced? And that 15% of them have failing brakes or suspension after only 2-3 years regardless?
Tesla does not do any inspections prior to the regulatory check. ALL other manufacturers do. Teslas failed primarily due to brake issues, and, in most cases, other manufacturer dealerships fix these issues so that they don’t flag on the regulatory inspection.
Those numbers are artificially inflated, and the fixes for Teslas are the same as all other manufacturers. The work is just done after the regulatory fail, as opposed to before, thereby making those numbers nonsensical to the point you’re trying to make.
I believe it’s that Tesla does nothing special for maintenance related to those inspections, whereas other carmakers offer periodic checkups timed to come just before the inspections so that their stats will look better than reality.
The other issue is that regen being set up for “1-pedal driving” means the brakes often get underused, and so rust etc can build up on the pads.
