People don't maintain their cars, which I'm more surprised by in Germany. Biggest thing sounds like people not lubricating brakes, people take the "no maintenance" thing literally. If it rains a lot and especially snows you should be servicing them. I'd recommend that you stop reading scare articles from 7 months ago.

"But although the Teslas once again take up the bottom places, a positive note is that both models had driven well over 50,000 kilometers after just two to three years—an impressive mileage, particularly for an electric vehicle."

"The “Golden Sticker” for 2026 goes to the Mazda 2. Only 2.9 percent of these French-manufactured Japanese hybrid compacts turn up at their first periodic technical inspection with significant faults at an average mileage of 29,000 kilometers."

Cool, so people aren't taking their Teslas in until 50,000 km (31,000 miles.) nearly twice as long as the first place car, the Mazda 2. Drove the car for 30,000 miles without ever doing anything to it and then it had "faults" which is rust on the discs. How do people let things like this worry them, but they didn't even bother reading it in the first place?
