Consumer Description
HERE IS ANOTHER TESLA IN THE SALVAGE YARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=24302646&ROWNUMBER=34&LOADRECENT=TRUE IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH. THE AIR-BAGS HAVE NOT DEPLOYED. THE SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED ON ALL FOUR WHEELS CAUSING THE WHEELS TO JAM UP INTO THE WHEEL WELLS AND DAMAGING THE BODY OF THE CAR. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED AT A HIGH SPEED IT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE CAUSED DEATH OR INJURY. ONCE AGAIN IT SEEMS THAT A SIMPLE AIR LEAK IN THE SUSPENSION CAN CAUSE DISASTER BECAUSE THE TESLA IS NOT FITTED WITH BUMP STOPS TO LIMIT SUSPENSION TRAVEL. PLEASE LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION. THE NUMBER OF WRITTEN OFF TESLAS IN THE JUNKYARDS IS FAR TOO HIGH FOR THE SMALL NUMBER OF CARS THAT ARE ON THE ROADS. NOTE: I AM NOT THE OWNER, JUST A CONCERNED CITIZEN. DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION.
