Consumer Description
HERE IS A MODEL X IN A JUNKYARD IN UNITED KINGDOM: HTTPS://WWW.COPART.CO.UK/LOT/47617487/PHOTOS THE AUCTION LISTS THE CAR AS HAVING SUSPENSION DAMAGE. THE SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED ON ALL 4 WHEELS. AIR-BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED AND THERE IS SOME DAMAGE TO THE BODYWORK. IT IS EXTREMELY LIKELY THAT THE CAUSE OF ALL THE DAMAGE WAS A CASE OF TESLA SUSPENSION COLLAPSE. OWNERS HAVE BEEN DECEIVED INTO THINKING THEY ARE DRIVING ONE OF THE SAFEST CARS IN THE WORLD. REALITY IS THAT THESE CARS ARE INVOLVED IN VERY MANY CRASHES CAUSED BY MECHANICAL FAILURES AND THAT THE CAR SHATTERS LIKE AN EGGSHELL IN A SERIOUS CRASH. PLEASE TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT MORE DEATHS AND INJURIES. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN
