How does this work in germany?

In a neighboring country I take my car to the service to do a quick maintenance + the official yearly thing.

This means break pads and any issues are fixed before and car would never fail an official check.

Is that not a thing for tesla?, is the driver supposed to know when to replace everything?, are sensors that good?

Isn't the "no services" one of the things that all Tesla owners advertise?

No experience with Tesla specifically , but usually the manufacturer has recommended checks at certain amounts driven or a certain time elapsed. Some people follow those and have their cars checked at those points, others don't. But according to this article Tesla has no such system.

Then there is the TÜV, which is a mandatory check for all cars usually every 2 years. So this seems pretty similar to your country, just with different intervals.

Tesla's roll out of the factory with things out of limits all the time. Headlights being a big thing, not adjusted within the rules for the TUV (or Dutch APK) even when the car is brand new.

As a Model Y owner, the lack of a service interval is really annoying. I want to pay Tesla to make sure my car stays safe and reliable, but I can't.

did they remove the service plan? My Model S came with a 4 year service plan where every quarter they would flush the coolant, filters, etc
