That's interesting with the pre-inspection. I haven't heard about a systematic pre-inspection here. I also don't think it really matters, the most important metric I'm quoting is 7% failure rate across _all_ electric cars, and no way that's caused by every non-Tesla owner going to a pre-inspection.
(inspection costs around 80 euros in Denmark, so there's no financial reason to go to a pre-inspection anyways, just do the inspection and have it redone if the car fails).
Tesla wouldn't even recognize the problem at first, and refused repair of customer cars. Of course there's issues with every brand of car. It's just that the numbers show that Teslas are much, much worse with regards to safety critical components.
You bring your car in for yearly maintenance. They do a 50 point inspection, fix what is worn and replace fluids where necessary. After that they bring it to a shop next door where they do the (government required) yearly technical inspection. Nearly all brands do this as it's easy money and because you can persuade the customer to buy a new model of car while they are already in the shop.
Tesla does not have this. People just bring it straight to the yearly technical inspection.
Teslas doesn't fail because of fluids or worn brakes. They failed due to causes that Tesla didn't even recognize, as I already told you, because they thought wobbly wheels were ok, and other structural issues.
Stop making up excuses for Tesla, it's tiresome.
