Consumer Description

HERE IS A TESLA 3 WHEELER FRESHLY ARRIVED IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/36462892?ROWNUMBER=17 THE TREAD ON THE BACK WHEEL HAS BEEN COMPLETELY STRIPPED AWAY AFTER THE WHEEL WENT WHOMPY. FINALLY, WHEN THE SUSPENSION GIBLETS COULD TAKE NO MORE THE ENTIRE WHEEL AND SUSPENSION FLEW OFF. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE STRETCHED AND BROKEN GIBLETS.... IT'S NOT PRETTY. THIS OWNER WAS LUCKY TO SURVIVE. MANY MORE OWNERS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THESE LETHAL FAILURES. DOES ELON MUSK HAVE A LICENSE TO KILL OR WHAT? PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. THESE THINGS ARE KILLERS ON THE ROADS. SEE PHOTOS ATTACHED. *TR
