Consumer Description

THIS ABOUT THE 400TH TIME THAT I HAVE HAD TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT DEFECTIVE TESLA SUSPENSIONS. I DON'T GIVE UP EASILY. HERE IS A TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/35537692/22 IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH. NO AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED. NO DAMAGE TO THE BODYWORK. THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS FALLEN TO BITS. THE WHEEL AND TIRE APPEAR UNDAMAGED SO IT CAN NOT HAVE RUN OVER A BOULDER. EVERY SINGLE COMPONENT OF THE SUSPENSION HAS SNAPPED INTO PIECES. THE CAST MONKEY METAL STEERING KNUCKLE HAS CRACKED INTO SEVERAL PIECES. ALL THE BALL JOINT STEMS HAVE SNAPPED. THE ENTIRE SHEMOZZLE IS TOTALLY FUBAR!!! ELON MUSK CLAIMS THAT ALL MY COMPLAINTS ARE FRAUDULENT AND THAT I AM UNHINGED. THUS FAR I HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED WITH FRAUD OR COMMITTED TO A MENTAL INSTITUTION. I AM SOOOO DISAPPOINTED. HAVE A GREAT DAY. YOUR FRIEND KEEF
