NHTSA Complaint #10897007 — 2015 TESLA MODEL S

HERE IS ANOTHER TESLA IN THE SALVAGE YARD. HTTP://WWW.COPART.COM/US/LOT/30997056?SEARCHID=1887217407 THERE IS LITTLE SIGN OF COLLISION DAMAGE BUT THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS FALLEN APART AND THE WHEEL HAS BEEN TORN INTO PIECES WHILST IT WAS STILL ROTATING. THE STEEL BUMPER BAR FORWARD OF THE WHEEL IS COMPLETELY UNDAMAGED WHICH MAKES IT UNLIKELY THAT THE WHEEL WAS STRUCK FROM THE FRONT. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT ALL OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE FRONT END IS SIMPLY THE RESULT OF THE SUSPENSION FAILURE. THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY OF THESE FAILURES IN PROPORTION TO THE SMALL NUMBER OF TESLAS THAT HAVE BEEN SOLD. IMAGE SEARCHES ON OTHER BRANDS OF CAR DO NOT SHOW UP ANY OTHER INSTANCES OF WHEELS GETTING SLICED INTO PIECES SIMILAR TO WHAT IS HAPPENING REPEATEDLY ON THE TESLAS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. NOTE: DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION.
