Consumer Description

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD:HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=26559880&ROWNUMBER=38&LOADRECENT=TRUE IT HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A MAJOR FRONT END COLLISION AND IS LISTED AS BIO-HAZARD WHICH MEANS THAT OCCUPANTS HAVE BEEN INJURED. THE FRONT END IS BADLY DAMAGED BUT THE REAR END OF THE CAR IS COMPLETELY UNDAMAGED EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE LH BACK WHEEL HAS GONE TOTALLY WHOMPY. IT IS EXTREMELY LIKELY THAT THE WHOMPY WHEEL WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH AND NOT SIMPLY A RESULT OF IMPACT DAMAGE. THE WHEEL AND TIRE ARE COMPLETELY UNDAMAGED AS IS THE REAR OF THE CAR. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE THAT THE WHOMPY WHEEL WAS CAUSED BY AN IMPACT SINCE THE WHEEL WOULD BE EXPECTED TO BREAK BEFORE THE SUSPENSION FELL APART IF THE SUSPENSION WAS BUILT TO NORMAL AUTOMOTIVE STANDARDS. PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE TO GIVE TESLA THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. A RECALL FOR THESE FRAGILE AND DEFECTIVE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS IS LONG OVERDUE. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN. DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION. SPEED AND INJURIES ARE AN APPROXIMATION BASED UPON THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE. VEHICLE IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE JUNKYARD.
