It's not just a question of the long haul. About 25% of new model 3's failed their first inspection in 2024 in denmark. That means they aren't road legal without repairs. That's compared to 9% of other electric cars. And yeah, they run a 4 year warrenty, so when the first inspection is due after 4 years, it also conviniently out of warrenty.

It's even worse with the Y where 50% (yes, HALF) of 2021 models failed their first inspection.

I was under the impression EV's are relatively maintenance free, especially compared to ICE. What are the typical failures of those teslas?
