I bought my 2023 EV6 GT in Feb 2023, and I monitor all the things. The brake fluid was at <1% water, and perfect in appearance. The dealer still demanded to change it during the 40K mile service yesterday, and I let them because why not. It only cost $120 or something, so whatever.

No there isn't. I have a 2023 EV6 GT, and and its eGMP siblings are some of the only EV's that can actually do extended track time all-out. Further, it charges quicker both peak and total time than Tesla. It stays a TON cooler, as well, monitoring battery temps. Much better system.
So tell me...how do you adjust camber on Tesla MY/M3 rear suspension...
Nah. Wouldn't that be a drink?
I can guarantee most of it is from driving too hard. Every independent suspension RWD/AWD car I've owned driven hard will shred the inside of the rear tires. Same thing said about the MYP and how mine are wearing with mostly highway miles. Torque is the issue combined with a heavy foot.
And what are they going to do about it?
Its because the cars (some) are not perfectly assembled. So you get absurd wear patterns. Some of the guys on the Tesla forums are seeing over 3* negative camber in new Teslas right off the lot, so its not structure damage.
Assuming that Tesla's coolant loop is like the hybrid Toyota's. I would think that it can probably live up to 15 years as it has no combustion byproduct. If Tesla say forever I would just leave it alone for 15 years and then see what happen to the rest of the world doing by then.
Brake fluid, etc I would just follow typical things out there. It is not like it is a lot of money and I'm not convinced Tesla discovered something that other regular car companies don't already know outside of battery and electric motor.
My gut instinct tells me someone else would have found problems if Tesla did something wrong, and other companies would have copied form Tesla if Tesla did something they didn't know or do already too.

Fluid is fluid, the coolant is a precaution every 120K miles or 10 years in an HmG product, and brake fluid is treated like normal vehicle fluid, because while water contamination is less of a performance issue, it can still cause corrosion, and the fluid is the same as any other, it absorbs water.
So gasoline and diesel cooling systems have combustion byproducts? LOL
In theory no gasket is perfectly sealing and small amount of gas will leak through over the 10 years of life.
I am quoting what I read from my owners manual: 10 years for engine coolant, 15 years for electric motor coolant system. You don't think Toyota know what they are doing?
No. Toyota is coasting on their 90s reputation. Nothing they've done recently has been awesome.
If that is the case how does this fit in?
With modern head gaskets there should be no weeping or leaking of head gaskets unless there is a design or manufacturing issue or some other mitigating factor like high boost. It sounds to me like Toyota is covering their backsides for potential future weeping issues.
When you read things like this it sure seems that way.

It is hard to bash Tesla about declining quality when the company never had any in the first place. LOL
They've actually graduated to using automotive grade parts, and by all accounts their panel misalignment and structural leaks have been reduced.
Ummm....no?
Porsche and BMW are now absurdly reliable. The -58 series engine is so good Toyota begged bmw for it for their cars since they cant built a sports car engine as well, for example.
