Consumer Description
HERE IS A TESLA JUST ARRIVED IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/36891270?ROWNUMBER=8 IT HAS BEEN IN A MAJOR COLLISION AND IT IS A NEAR CERTAINTY THAT OCCUPANTS HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE PART OF THE CAR THAT HAS SUFFERED THE LEAST DAMAGE IS THE BACK RH SIDE AND IT CAN BE SEEN THAT THE COMPLETE WHEEL AND SUSPENSION HAS BEEN TORN OFF. THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN PLACED IN THE FRUNK OF THE CAR. THE TORQUE LINK ON THE SUSPENSION IS SNAPPED ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER GIBLETS. SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY OTHER CASES OF TESLA WHEELS RANDOMLY SNAPPING OFF FOR NO GOOD REASON IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THE BACK WHEEL FALLING OFF WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH RATHER THAN THE RESULT OF IT. YOU CAN PREVENT FURTHER LOSS OF LIFE BY DOING YOUR JOB AND LAUNCHING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DANGEROUSLY FRAGILE TESLA SUSPENSIONS. THANK YOU KEEF PLEASE NOTE THAT DATE OF CRASH ETC. ARE ONLY ESTIMATES
