Consumer Description

HERE IS A MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=27618876&ROWNUMBER=11&LOADRECENT=TRUE THE BACK LH WHEEL HAS GONE TOTALLY WHOMPY. THE TREAD APPEARS TO BE WORN DOWN SUGGESTING THAT THE CAR DROVE FOR SOME DISTANCE WITH A DAMAGED SUSPENSION CAUSING THE TIRE TO RUB AGAINST THE BODYWORK UNTIL THE SUSPENSION FINALLY FELL TO BITS. I HAVE SEARCHED THE JUNKYARDS FOR OTHER BRANDS OF CARS THAT ARE AFFLICTED BY AS MUCH WHOMPINESS AS TESLAS BUT I CANNOT FIND ANY EXAMPLES. PLEASE BE SO KIND AS TO INVESTIGATE THIS PHENOMENON. THANK YOU. CONCERNED CITIZEN.
