This whole article feels like it was written by a dealership garage publication. You must bring your car in for a 200 point inspection every 6 months so we can look at it and charge you $299.00. I not a Tesla fan boy or will every be a customer but I am sure their cars are more reliable than an ICE vehicle. Jay Leno speaks about how he has driven his Tesla for like 6 years and done absolutely nothing to it, not even brakes Electric Motors last a very long time and are extremely dependable, I have seen with my own eyes, electric motors that have been working for decades reliably with no breakdowns, 10's of 1000's of hours of service powering heavy conveyor belts. No ice engine could do that.
The inspections are legally mandated every two years. The car must satisfy the requirements to pass or it won't be allowed on the roads. If the car is obviously not compliant, then you can be sent to extraordinary inspection even if you just passed.
What a guy resident in California says could not be more irrelevant to vehicle inspections performed in Germany where the car is subjected to much worse weather + salt on the roads.
