It seems they do pretty badly in Germany too. TÜV data showed 14.2% Model 3 cars had "significant defects" at inspections after 2-3 years. This was the highest defect rate of any car model.

Edit: Previously stated "at 12-13 years it was a little over 40%.", but this is incompatible with how long the Model 3 has been on the market, so assume this was a caption mistake by the site posting the stats.
- hda111 2y agoHow is it possible to measure for 12 years when the first Model 3 ever produced is just 7.5 years old?
- croes 2y agoSeems like fussmattenprofi just copied the values but did't change the car models. These are the correct numbers: 2 – 3 years Tesla Model 3 14.2% Ford Mondeo 13.2% Skoda Scala 11.8% 4 – 5 years Tesla Model 3 19.7% VW Sharan 17.7% BMW 5er/6er 17.7% 6 – 7 years Dacia Dokker 26.5% Dacia Duster 24.3% BMW 5er/6er 23.6% 8 – 9 years Dacia Dokker 30,9% Dacia Duster 29.7% Dacia Sandero 28.6% 10 – 11 years Dacia Logan 39.6% Dacia Duster 34.1% Renault Twingo 33.0% 12 – 13 years Renault Twingo 41.5% Dacia Logan 41.0% Renault Clio 39.8%
- rsynnott 2y ago> Skoda Scala 11.8% Clearly the German car testing people simply do not know how to use sbt :)
- nexus6 2y agoThey didn’t so was propably misread. Reading the article it doesn’t mention Tesla in the 12 year graph. But it is mentioned in the 5 year category.
- bschne 2y agoapologies, this gave me pause for a split second but I didn't double check — see sibling comment, I think the captions weren't properly updated by the site reporting the stats.
- karamanolev 2y agoI checked the report and it indeed quotes a 12-13 year old class for the Model 3, despite the car not existing that long ago. I don't know how. It's this figure: https://cdn-kbpln.nitrocdn.com/vfTHZFrdylLFvVWvxVDzeEsXgobSWzlr/assets/images/optimized/rev-ccec4bf/fussmattenprofi.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/tuev-4-2048x1360.jpg https://cdn-kbpln.nitrocdn.com/vfTHZFrdylLFvVWvxVDzeEsXgobSW...
