Consumer Description
HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTP://WWW.COPART.COM/US/EN/LOT/27679726?SEARCHID=1165323215 THE SUSPENSION SEEMS TO HAVE COLLAPSED. THE FRONT RH WHEEL IS JAMMED BACK INTO THE FIREWALL AND THE TREAD IS WORN WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE TIRE BEING DAMAGED BY BROKEN SUSPENSION PARTS WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL ROLLING FORWARD. HERE IS ANOTHER MODEL X IN A DIFFERENT JUNKYARD HTTPS://M.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETENC.ASPX?AUCTIONID=0&ITEMID=22497170&ROWID=31&PAGESOURCE=VEHICLERESULTS SAME THING. SUSPENSION COLLAPSED, WHEEL JAMMED BACK INTO THE FIREWALL, TIRE GOUGED WHILE STILL IN MOTION. I BELIEVE THAT THE ALLOY SUSPENSION PARTS ARE TOO WEAK FOR SUCH A HEAVY HIGH POWERED VEHICLE AND THAT THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR FAILURES IT CAN NOT BE JUST THAT THE DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE COLLISION.
