In Denmark when a car reaches 6 years, it needs to be safety checked to be used on the roads. After that it's every 2nd years.

Tesla model 3 managed these safety checks extremely poorly, with 3 times the average failure rate.

In total, 1,392 errors were found on the Tesla model, which is three times as many compared to the other electric cars.

If you don't have a translate page button (to your own language), You may want to switch to Firefox. I'm showing the original page in danish, because danish is delicious.

"Dump"? Is that a literal translation of the Danish word for failure?

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Du dumpede = You failed the exam.

It's very specific to failing an exam/inspection etc.

God I love how Dutch is essentially just how I talk after I've had a pint too many. If I can ever get a hand on German, Dutch is the next language on my list.

While as a Dutchman i find your statement hilarious, they're talking about Danish here ;)

[–] Irremarkable@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

Yknow here's the thing.

I distinctly remember telling myself "don't type Dutch" because I always say one when I mean the other.

Maybe that's not a good translation, I just went with the auto translation, and didn't really think about it, because we have the word "dumpe" for failing.
Maybe it doesn't work in English.

I would correct it, but I already tried to correct 6 years to 4, and it doesn't take for some reason?

In English, to dump is (usually) to unload or discard, so its use here is a bit strange. I thought I understood what was meant anyway, but I wasn't sure.

I've tried to correct it and save 3 times now, but my changes don't show: 🙁
