Even if we ignore the muskrat I'm worried about:

  • They fail the first MOT in Denmark.
  • The dash that forces you to look at a screen to operate.
  • The emergency door handles you have to practice finding.
  • The accidents caused by the large engine.

And then there's how they service their cars and the OTA updates.

    I'm gonna agree with you on the middle two points as I can't be arsed to look up the story about Denmark so I'll just ignore it, but what's that about the large motor(s) causing accidents? That sounds more like user error to me. To Tesla's credit, they even have a "chill mode" acceleration setting that makes it way less sensitive.

    I'll admit I've only ever driven one Model Y LR, but even on the full power setting, while it had impressive acceleration, it never felt like I was going to kill myself by looking at the accelerator pedal wrong.

    The issue in Denmark while true, is exacerbated by the brakes not being used due to regen braking which can cause rust to appear on the pads. You fail if there's rust.

    You need to use the brakes more often to avoid the rust and or do some intentional hard braking to clear it if it builds up.

    That wasn't the only problem, but it was a significant factor.

    Edit: another one that I don't know if it impacts the test, is the model 3s front control arms were prone to getting water in them. There was a service bulletin to seal them, but even that wasn't always enough. So that's a pretty common repair item on older models 3s, the result of which is squeaking while driving, but not saftey impact to the vehicle or driver.
