You drive your Tesla to the MFK, step out calmly and think:
\u201cElectric car, low wear, this should be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then you get the report: defects found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many Tesla drivers, this comes as a real surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 Regular inspections, for example every two years, can help prevent unnecessary issues such as increased tyre wear early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Tesla does not have a traditional combustion engine.
However, that does not mean the vehicle is maintenance-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the contrary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Components such as suspension, brakes and chassis parts are often exposed to higher loads than in conventional vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that is exactly where the MFK focuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking at Germany helps to better understand the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The T\u00dcV, comparable to the Swiss MFK, shows in its latest report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 The Tesla Model Y has a defect rate of 17.3%
\ud83d\udc49 This places it last out of 110 vehicles<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Model 3 performs slightly better but is still in the lower part of the ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not an exception, but a clear pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And these are exactly the issues we see daily at
H\u00fcsser and Palkoska AG, your independent Tesla specialist in the canton of Zug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Tesla is heavy. The battery adds significant weight to the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This leads to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 A clear reason for inspection failure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many Tesla drivers rely mainly on regenerative braking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is efficient, but it has a downside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mechanical brakes are used less frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 This is immediately noticed during inspection<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A simple contact with a curb or a pothole can be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly, the geometry is off:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 A classic inspection issue<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another commonly overlooked point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 Sounds simple, but regularly leads to inspection problems<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The inspection processes in Germany (T\u00dcV) and Switzerland (MFK) are very similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 In practice, this means:
What fails in Germany will usually also fail in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vehicle inspection (MFK) in the canton of Zug is carried out by the Road Traffic Office in Steinhausen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If defects are found, you will receive a report listing all issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 Important to know:
You will be given a deadline to fix the problems and present the vehicle for reinspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is exactly where a specialist makes a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At H\u00fcsser and Palkoska AG in Baar, we provide a targeted analysis of the inspection report and prepare your vehicle properly for reinspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We approach the MFK in a structured way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We check your Tesla exactly as it will be checked during inspection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 This way you know in advance what to expect and avoid unnecessary rechecks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even then, it is not a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At H\u00fcsser and Palkoska AG in Baar, your independent Tesla specialist, you receive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 So you can return to the MFK with confidence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Tesla rarely fails due to its modern technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 The causes are usually classic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If these points are in good condition, passing the MFK becomes straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are in the Zug region and want to avoid unpleasant surprises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udc49 Have your Tesla checked before the MFK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mostly due to suspension, brakes or alignment \u2013 not because of the drivetrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. The drivetrain requires less maintenance, but other components wear out normally. Tesla recommends an inspection every 2 years or 40,000 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes. It saves time, reduces costs and avoids unnecessary rechecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
