Alarming Model 3 Numbers: 49% Fail Initial Vehicle Inspection in Finland

And in Korea half had battery failure

Who is surprised by this?

But Tesla’s burgers are 100% delicious 😋

It is Tesla. Users are expected to just buy another one after it is a couple of years old. And most are doing that, replacing their 2 year old Model Y with a slightly updated Model Y. This is mainly a problem for the second hand market.

obligatory TSLA up 5% on the news

I find this very difficult to believe. Are you really suggesting that 51% actually pass?

All I'm seeing is 51% pass!!!! Stonk to the moon.

I present to you milk and frozen food left out in the heat: [https://bsky.app/profile/melissastetten.bsky.social/post/3lusgzxb4tk2u](https://bsky.app/profile/melissastetten.bsky.social/post/3lusgzxb4tk2u)

Dump it every 2 years, for the mission of saving the planet obviously.

Model 3 is also the most deadly model per mile driven in the iseecars study that used proprietary data to estimate milage and determine that Tesla was the deadliest auto brand per mile driven.

Hard to estimate how long it was left out. The truck that delivers it has to unload it somewhere before it gets carted inside.

Elon fixed that with the cybertruck: When parts fall off they can't fail inspection.

I am so shocked /s

Chuckle...that's exactly my point. If this food has been left out unattended, nobody *really knows* how long it was left out...and this is TSLA we're talking about - my default assumption is worst case.

If someone is inside carrying the case off the top of the pile they wouldn't be in the photo, but would know exactly how long the cases had been pallets had been sitting there. I don't know their SOP but in general I think most places allow food to be out on the dock for two hours unless it's especially hot then it gets reduced to one hour. One employee could pack the food in in that time but the deliveries out on the pallets would be unattended most of that time.

I read that Elon saved every nickel and dime in manufacturing. He was pondering in the factories to reduce all the materials to the minimum. So sad what Tesla became.

Made me lol. Painful but true.

My ID.4 turns 3 in late November and has done 178000 kilometers and has passed 3 inspections. Sadly it's made by a company that did the Emissiongate. /cryQQQQQQQQQ /s

Aren’t teslas statistically the most crashed vehicles or something?

Same in Norway. First inspection is after 4 years and then every 2 years. A lot of Teslas fail this first inspection, usually because of rusty brake lines. Depending on the type of fault, then the car can be banned from driving until you've fixed it.

Built for California

Yup, here is a video where you can see how bad it is: https://youtu.be/uyl1TA8sqH8?si=hjMC_rzwF2pSMIVq Remember, these are cars that are as young as 3 years in some cases. Also, Tesla usually don't honor their corrosion warranty, always finding a way to blame the customer.

From the headline, I thought they meant the initial inspection toward the end of the assembly line, which wouldn't be bad at all. I worked at a US Ford plant where after a major model makeover, while they were working out the kinks from the changes, they'd average 12 defects per vehicle entering the final repair stretch. They could fix around ten on average before it reached the end of the line, at which point it was 50-50 whether a car would go to the shipping yard or rework yard. But Finland does ongoing inspections after vehicles are sold, including safety and structural checks. They start after the first year, and inspect every one or two years after that depending on its age.

Happened to my Model Y in Norway. Failed first inspection. To add insult to injury, the local service centre can’t keep up so I have to drive 2 hours to get to one to fix the faults so I can keep it on the road. Cheap cars.

My was brake discs, front and rear bushings, and front ball joint in the control arm. After only 40k km.

Yeah in Sweden it's after 36 months, then after 24 months, and then every 14 months after that. My 2002 Toyota passed inspection earlier this year...

Meme stock Corruption at the highest level

That's par for the course. Tesla=Junk.

At least those burst into flames in a useful way, during cooking

They fail in Spain too haha

No, they're the most deadly. Plenty crash more. But people don't die in them when they do.

My 1998 Skoda is still good (no rust) even though it's been on salted roads for 6-8 months per year since day 1. Just passed inspection in Sweden last month.

Just saw your nickname 🤣 well hello there

Actually, Tesla was always this way.

This tesla stock better crash down the void it has hidden behind the veil.

Keep in mind that Tesla has been exporting Shanghai built cars to Europe since 2021, so whenever someone tells you that the Chinese built cars are "better" this is what that means.

It got worse after the model 3.  Smaller volume with only model S and very limiter number of Roadsters meant better QC and customer service before.  Now, it’s just terrible customer service and churn out janky builds with 40% profit margin.  You also have a lot more employees who fall into the category of not giving a shit with the political situation I’m sure and many trying to leave/vest their stock when they can.  Not a company where people stay, they get burned out with insane hours

For new cars it is before fourth year after first regisration, then every two years until the car is 10 years old, after which it is annual inspection. It has been toned down a bit over the years. New cars get more leeway nowadays, as in theory cars are nowadays better built than in the past, but i guess we have to reconsider the schedule again if half the cars fail the first inspection. As you can tell from the frequency of the inspections, the expection is that new cars shouldn't almost ever fail it. There is a fundamental problem in the system if the first inspection has the absolutely highest failure rate.

Leon now applying this same quality control mentality and pursuit of profits to outer space.  Lol.

My 2010 Toyota corolla with over 300,000 km on it has never failed an inspection. That's because there is no inspection in my Australian state.

Me cause our three yr old MY is doing great

Teslas are failing at a high rate because they have no yearly or biyearly dealer maintenance. If you read the article it’s mostly suspension or brushing issues, because new owners especially like to drive them like they are stolen
