“Even behind” 🍿
I love it when consumer journalism gets catty 😁
IIRC here in Finland they keep failing yearly inspections constantly because the balljoints and bushings etc are always completely shot as they can’t handle the extra weight of the batteries and massive torque from the motors.
[EDIT] Here’s the (in Finnish) news article about it. The list of most failed electric cars for their first inspection (4 years old) in 2024 were:
- Tesla Model 3, 49% fail, most common issue: rear axle.
- Renault Zoe, 19% fail, front axle.
- Tesla Model S, 16% fail, front axle.
- Tesla Model X, 14%, N/A
- Porsche Taycan, 12%, manufacturer’s compliance plate (it’s placed so that it gets damaged really easily :p)
And if you are working on one, you might call a loose suspension component and be told it’s “within spec” as a bushing fucking bounces
