    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.
