Consumer Description

HERE IS A VIDEO OF A TESLA ON THE DRAG STRIP HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=5RFDDIMYDP4&T=589S THE COMMENTATOR NOTES THAT THE TESLA LOOKS AS THOUGH ITS AXLE IS ABOUT TO SNAP. BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS ARE WHOMPING AROUND SO AS TO BE IN DANGER OF JAMMING UP IN THE WHEEL WELLS. THIS IS NOT JUST THE COMPRESSION OF RUBBER BUSHINGS IN THE SUSPENSION. IT IS THE RESULT OF STRAIN IN THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. TESLAS THAT ARE DRIVEN "ENTHUSIASTICALLY" ARE CERTAIN TO STRESS THE CAST AND EXTRUDED ALUMINUM COMPONENTS WELL BEYOND THEIR ELASTIC LIMITS. TESLA OWNERS OFTEN ENJOY THE LUDICROUS AND INSANE ACCELERATION. TESLAS ALSO OFTEN ENJOY SPONTANEOUS LUNATIC ACCELERATION AKA UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. I PETION YOU TO INVESTIGATE THESE DEADLY CONTRAPTIONS. THANK YOU UNHINGED CITIZEN
