Based on member surveys reads like bullshit. Different maintenance schedules may work customer experience. Allegedly, due to longer maintenance windows and lack of preventative checkup Tesla cars do fail the TÜV a lot. ICE cars get a regular inspection before visiting them for most manufacturers so there are way fewer fails.
I don’t doubt the message too much, but the data may be bad.
My neighborhood is full of Teslas. Most lease, and almost all of them have had their lease cars replaced by Tesla because they simply couldn’t fix a major problem, usually related to motor drive bearing wear.
Fun fact: North America does not safety inspect vehicles after they are purchased.
Some parts of North America do. In the US, it’s a state by state thing. The states that require it generally do it annually. I can’t speak for the rest of NA, but I assume at least some parts of Canada might also require safety inspections.
I used to live in a Canadian province where you have to get a mechanical inspection if your vehicle is older than x years, I forget. Where I live now you have to get any vehicle that you took position of to pass a mechanical inspection and the after so many years again.
