The issue in Denmark while true, is exacerbated by the brakes not being used due to regen braking which can cause rust to appear on the pads. You fail if there’s rust.
You need to use the brakes more often to avoid the rust and or do some intentional hard braking to clear it if it builds up.
That wasn’t the only problem, but it was a significant factor.
Edit: another one that I don’t know if it impacts the test, is the model 3s front control arms were prone to getting water in them. There was a service bulletin to seal them, but even that wasn’t always enough. So that’s a pretty common repair item on older models 3s, the result of which is squeaking while driving, but not saftey impact to the vehicle or driver.
