European propaganda at its finest! > Report doesn't mention which defects were responsible for the Model Y's disappointing performance Because the only thing they really saw were rusty brake discs that aren’t heavily used, because Tesla tries to be really Eco and recovers energy instead of wasting.

> Mercedes will usually receive better care than a cheap Dacia that may never see an authorized repair shop Poor Mercedes. Authorized shops never recommend to replace transmission fluid or do care about engine roughness. Unauthorized shop and Dacia will replace engine oil every 10-15k km or 40-60k km for gearbox and the car can easily do 2-3x more distance than Mercedes. Audi TFSI engines require full rebuild after 120k km because of such servicing, Mercedes V8s break after 25-40k km (valve springs break, cylinders got scratched).

It’s great that for 2nd time in HN this propaganda without facts is spread again. And even if I’m defending Tesla here I love and drive petrol V8s. Not supporting diesel gate, simple maintenance and maybe some day (because they don’t break) easy repairs.
