NHTSA Complaint #10966715 — 2016 TESLA MODEL X

HERE IS ANOTHER TESLA MODEL S IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/24527147/PHOTOS IT HAS ONLY DONE 4500 MILES. IT HAS A CA SALVAGE CERTIFICATE. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE BODYWORK TO SUGGEST THAT IT HAS BEEN IN A COLLISION BUT THE SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED AND THE FRONT RH WHEEL HAS JAMMED UP INTO THE WHEEL WELL CAUSING SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL ARCH. THE AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED WHICH SHOWS THAT CAR STOPPED VERY RAPIDLY DUE TO THE WHEELS LOCKING UP. THE FACT THAT THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD AS A SALVAGE WRECK SUGGESTS THAT IT CANNOT BE RESTORED TO A SAFE CONDITION AT A REASONABLE COST. THERE ARE ENOUGH SIMILAR CASES TO PROVE THAT THERE IS A DANGEROUS WEAKNESS IN THE TESLA SUSPENSION. IT IS ONLY THROUGH GOOD FORTUNE THAT ANOTHER CAR HAS NOT RAMMED INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR AND SLAUGHTERED A CHILD IN THE REARWARD FACING TRUNK SEATS. IN PROPORTION TO THE SMALL NUMBER OF THESE TESLA CARS ON THE ROADS THE NUMBER OF WRITTEN OFF CARS IN THE JUNKYARDS IS ASTRONOMICAL. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THE ALLEGED GREEN CREDENTIALS OF THESE CARS TO OVERRIDE THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT ARE PLACING LIVES AT RISK. NOT AN OWNER. CONCERNED CITIZEN ETC. ETC.
