Consumer Description
HERE IS ANOTHER TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD. THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED ON BOTH SIDES. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DAMAGE LOOKS TO BE ENTIRELY SELF INFLICTED DUE TO THE SUSPENSION FAILURE. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT TESLA HAS A CULTURE THAT REFUSES TO RECOGNISE THESE REPEATED SUSPENSION FAILURES AND BY THEIR USE OF NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS DISCOURAGES OWNERS FROM REPORTING TO THE AUTHORITIES. I BELIEVE IT IS LONG OVERDUE FOR NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THESE MATTERS. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN. DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION.
