Consumer Description

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA MODEL 3 I HAVE HAD TO FILE THIS UNDER MODEL S BECAUSE YOUR SITE DOES NOT YET ALLOW MODEL 3 COMPLAINTS TO BE FILED. THE FOLLOWING VIDEO SHOWS CLEARLY THAT THE MODEL 3 IS THE MOST DANGEROUS CAR ON THE ROAD. HTTPS://WWW.DAILYMOTION.COM/VIDEO/X6DWS5D THE REVIEWERS SHOW HOW ALMOST ALL OF THE IMPORTANT CONTROLS REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO TAKE HIS EYES OFF THE ROAD WHILE HE FIDDLES WITH TINY ICONS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS THE MOST BADLY DESIGNED CAR EVER MADE IN TERMS OF DRIVER DISTRACTION. ADD THE FACT THAT THIS CAR IS AIMED AT THE YOUTH MARKET AND YOU HAVE A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN.
