Yes but not Teslas. They are usually placed 2nd on the list of cars that fail the first Mandatory Safety Inspection in Germany after getting registered (it’s after 3 years). And the first place is usually the cheapest Dacia PoS where it’s at least understandable why they fail often. (A whole new car for under <10k)
Back then the Sandero was available for 9k, now it’s 12,5k. But now the Model 3 is also the worst offender at TÜV
And they failed mostly because of Axle/Suspension Issues. Rusty Brakes too, but the other OEMs have solved this, by just using them occasionally via Software to keep them rust free.
Either way, it’s not a good look to have even worse quality than Dacia on a 3 year old car (14,2% Fail the Inspection)
