Consumer Description

2018 MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH, COMPLETELY UNDAMAGED EXCEPT FOR THE BACK WHEEL JAMMED UP IN THE WHEEL-WELL AND GONE WHOMPY. TESLA TSB ADVISES THAT CERTAIN EARLY MODEL YEARS MAY HAVE WEAK SUSPENSION LINKS THAT MAY FAIL AND CAUSE "EXCESSIVE CAMBER" BUT THEY CLAIM THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE! THIS IS A LATE MODEL CAR WHICH SHOULD HAVE THE NEW STRONGER LINKS. HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THEY POSSIBLY CLAIM THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? PLEASE ISSUE A MANDATORY RECALL BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. THANK YOU. KEEF WIVANEFF
