Consumer Description
ANOTHER CASE OF SUSPENSION FAILURE IDENTICAL TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS LODGED. TESLA MOTORS CLUB FORUM HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/MODEL-X-FRONT-SUSPENSION-FAILURE.77534/PAGE-4 SREDDY642 SAID: ↑ I POSTED THIS ARTICLE ORIGINALLY AND UPLOADED THESE PICTURES OF MY CAR WHEN IT FAILED IN OUR PARKING LOT WHERE MY CAR IS THE ONLY TESLA. I DO HAVE THE TESLA INVOICE WITH $0.0 CHARGED THAT CLEARLY ACKNOWLEDGES THIS FAILURE AND SHOWS WHICH PARTS WERE REPLACED. I THINK THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO OUR EARLY PRODUCTION MODEL X. THIS ARM WAS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE CAR. TESLA FIXED IT FOR FREE TOO. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPHS. ALSO NOTE HOW THE ORIGINAL POSTER ON THIS THREAD HAS BEEN CALLED A LIAR AND WORSE. MANY OWNERS WOULD BE AFRAID TO REPORT THESE FAILURES DUE TO PEER PRESSURE AND FEAR THAT TESLA MIGHT WITHDRAW THEIR SUPPORT.
