NHTSA Complaint #11298872 — 2015 TESLA MODEL S

PLEASE NOTE, VIN OF A RANDOM TESLA USED TO MAKE THIS COMPLAINT. THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE BROKEN FORE-LINKS WHICH AFFECTS ALL TESLA CARS. THE TESLA FORUMS HAVE DOZENS OF REPORTS OF FORELINKS BREAKING. GO TO HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/FIND-NEW/10309935/POSTS AND ENTER "BROKEN FORELINK" "SUSPENSION FAILURE" OR SIMILAR. AN EXPERT HAS NOW GIVEN HIS OPINION. SNIP **ELECTRICDAVE, YOU HAVE PROVIDED THE PROOF OF THE PRIMARY FAILURE MODE THESE ARE EXPERIENCING! THEIR CASTING IS PROBABLY COOLING TOO QUICKLY AT THAT END AS THE BREAK APPEARS AT THE END WHERE THE LIQUID METAL IS POURED IN. YOU SEE HOW JAGGED THAT BREAK IS? THAT IS THE BOUNDARY WHERE THE TWO SIDES OF THE MOLD TRIED TO JOIN, AND DIDN'T QUITE FULLY JOIN BEFORE STARTING TO COOL AND CRYSTALLIZE. I AM NOT A CASTING EXPERT, BUT MY LIMITED EXPERIENCE WOULD SUGGEST THEY NEED NEED TO INCREASE THE POOL OF METAL ABOVE THE PART SO THIS SECTION CAN FULLY JOIN TOGETHER, OR POUR THAT END AS A SOLID, AND THEN DRILL THE HOLE OUT DURING MACHINING. PROBABLY DOING BOTH SHOULD YIELD THE PROPERTIES THAT THEY NEED. IF THIS WERE AN AIRPLANE AND THAT WAS A DEVICE CONTROLLING A FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACE, IT WOULD BE RECALLED. ** SOURCE: HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/ANOTHER-FRONT-SUSPENSION-CONTROL-ARM-FAILURE.114967/PAGE-10 TO MAKE THINGS EVEN WORSE MUSK HAS NOW UNLEASHED GAMES TO PLAY IN THE TESLA THAT USE THE STEERING WHEEL AS A GAME CONTROLLER AND PUT HUGE FORCES ON THE LINKAGES BY "DRY STEERING" PHOTOGRAPH OF BROKEN LINKS SHOWING BAD CASTING IS ATTACHED.
