In Denmark when a car reaches 6 years, it needs to be safety checked to be used on the roads. After that it's every 2nd years.

Tesla model 3 managed these safety checks extremely poorly, with 3 times the average failure rate.

In total, 1,392 errors were found on the Tesla model, which is three times as many compared to the other electric cars.

Anecdotally heard from a tow truck operator that im 2024, he alone towed ~40 Teslas. Make of that what you will.

Why didn't he use the tow truck?

C'mon man. There were 40 of them! He only had 1 tow truck! What was he supposed to do?

Sounds like a lot for a brand of cars that on average aren't very old!

Yup, and they're not even very common here. I'm in Malaysia, and it's branded above the byds, of which there are much more.
