Consumer Description

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT A 2017 TESLA MODEL X WITH 3 WHEELS THAT HAS JUST SHOWN UP IN THE SALVAGE YARD. HERE IS THE CAR. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/35678369/1 BECAUSE THE LISTING DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FULL VIN DETAIL I HAVE USED THE VIN OF ANOTHER WRECKED TESLA SO AS TO BE ABLE TO FILE THE REPORT. PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS OR BETTER YET INSPECT THE CAR AND SPEAK TO THE OWNER. THIS IS NOT THE RESULT OF A CRASH. THE CAR IS UNDAMAGED APART FROM THE SUSPENSION LINKS HAVE STRETCHED BEYOND BREAKING POINT AND THE WHEEL HAS COME OFF AND WHOMPED DOWN THE HIGHWAY PUTTING LIVES IN DANGER. THESE SUSPENSION PARTS FAIL IN THIS MANNER OVER AND OVER. TESLA IS COVERING UP THIS DEFECT. WHY ARE YOU ALLOWING THEM TO GET AWAY WITH IT? I HUMBLY BESEECH, PETION, BEG, PRAY, AND URGE YOU TO RECALL THESE LETHAL CONTRAPTIONS. YOURS RESPECTFULLY. [XXX] CONCERNED AND FULLY HINGED CITIZEN. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
