A report from Finland's Transport and Communications Agency on October 17, 2025, indicated a high failure rate for Tesla Model 3 vehicles during their first mandatory inspection in 2024, with nearly half (49%) not passing. The primary cause for the failures was identified as suspension problems, which inspectors suggest could be linked to the substantial weight of the EV batteries placing stress on the vehicle's structure. The report also noted failure rates of 16% for the Tesla Model S and 14% for the Model X.
