Consumer Description

HERE IS A MODEL S IN THE SALVAGE YARD. SOMEBODY RAN INTO THE BACK OF IT. MOST LIKELY BECAUSE THE FRONT WHEEL AND SUSPENSION FELL OFF CAUSING IT TO SLOW DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/58905699/PHOTOS EVEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE INTACT. THE AIR-BAGS HAVE NOT DEPLOYED. SO WHY DID THE SUSPENSION FALL TO BITS? I THINK WE KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. THE SUSPENSION PARTS ARE AS FRAGILE AS A SPARROWS LEG. TESLAS ARE STUCK IN LUDICROUS/INSANE MODE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. KEEF
