Consumer Description
HERE IS ANOTHER TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/38280127 IT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY FIRE. DESPITE THE EXTREME FIRE DAMAGE IT IS CLEAR FROM THE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPH THAT THE SUSPENSION LINKS ON THE RH BACK WHEEL ARE CLEANLY SNAPPED OFF. THIS IS NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE MELTED IN THE FIRE BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO CLEAR FRACTURES AND THE WHEEL HAS GONE WHOMPY. ANOTHER CASE OF FRAGILE ALLOY SUSPENSION PARTS CAUSING A CRASH FOLLOWED BY A FIRE MOST LIKELY TO TO LEAKING HOT GLYCOL FOLLOWED BY IGNITION OF THE BATTERY PACK. THESE CARS ARE WORSE THAN THE OLD PINTO AND CORVAIR. THEY ARE UNSAFE AT ANY VOLTAGE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. SEETHING CITIZEN ETC. ETC. DATE OF INCIDENT IS AN APPROXIMATION.
