NHTSA Complaint #10903176 — 2016 TESLA MODEL S

HERE IS A DISCUSSION ON THE TESLA MOTORS CLUB FORUM: HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/HIT-CURB-AND-NOW-ITS-THE-START-OF-MONTH-4-WAITING-FOR-REPAIR.72674/ SADOWNER, JUN 28, 2016 HELLO ALL, I THINK I'M ON MY WAY TO A WORLD RECORD FOR LONGEST WAIT TIME TO FIX A CAR WITH ZERO BODY DAMAGE. IN MARCH 2016 I HIT A CURB WITH MY BRAND NEW TESLA P85D. I BLEW THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE AND DAMAGED THE RIM BUT THERE WAS ZERO BODY DAMAGE. NOW WE'RE THREE DAYS FROM JULY AND I'M STILL GETTING THE WHOLE "WE FOUND SOMETHING ELSE LINE". YESTERDAY THEY SAID THEY FOUND A SUSPENSION KNUCKLE THAT NEEDED REPLACING!!! HOW THEY CAN HAVE A CAR FOR MONTHS ON END AND NOT REALIZE THAT SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS SO OBVIOUS AS A SUSPENSION KNUCKLE NEEDS REPLACING IS BEYOND ME. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY PATIENT UP UNTIL THIS POINT BUT MAN, WHERE DOES ONE DRAW THE LINE? TOWARDS THE END OF THAT THREAD OWNER REPORTS THAT THE TOTAL REPAIR BILL IS $30,000 THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS OF THE TESLA ARE RIDICULOUSLY FRAGILE. THE WHEEL DOES NOT EVEN HAVE ANY BROKEN SPOKES. WHY HAS THE STEERING KNUCKLE BEEN DAMAGED BY A MINOR CURB BUMP INCIDENT? PLEASE INVESTIGATE.
