I was under the impression EV's are relatively maintenance free, especially compared to ICE. What are the typical failures of those teslas?

They have had problems with the suspension arms, but word on the street is that it’s just the brake discs.

Denmark is significantly more moist than California, and EVs regenerative braking doesn’t wear the braking discs, so they rust, thus failing inspection.

The solution is trivial (periodically disable regenerative braking), but many people didn’t know.

That is certainly one of the issues, but 22% of the model Y's had loose suspension arms. So the brakes (which I agree is a more minor yet still inexcusable issue) aren't the only issue.

The EV is usually not the problem. The suspensions don’t age well.

The headlights also often need adjusting.
