Perhaps driving 155mph or up to 200mph (max speeds of the various Model S) as it is possible in Germany puts another level of stress on the suspension and they start to fail prematurely. Maintenance is not the same as reliability. So not laughable at all.

As far as I know, no one has driven anywhere close to 200 mph in a Tesla.

Thank you for the information, I was just looking up the max speeds in Wikipedia.

Fun bit of history: When Buell started selling their motorbikes in Germany, the motorcycles didn’t survive being driven large stretches on the autobahn - which lead to the famous recall party in Oschersleben where some of the factory team flew in from the US to fix and upgrade Buell motorcycles.
