Consumer Description

HERE IS A 2020 MODEL S TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/37268222?ROWNUMBER=4 IT HAS DONE JUST 1000 MILES SINCE BEING FACTORY GATED. IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH ( BUT THAT IS ONLY BECAUSE THE OWNER GOT LUCKY). THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED AND THE WHEEL IS JAMMED UP IN THE WELL CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE BODYWORK. THE STUPIDITY OF NOT HAVING LIMIT STOPS ON THE AIR SUSPENSION IS MIND BOGGLING. THIS COULD EASILY HAVE LEAD TO ANOTHER WHOMPY WHEEL SUDDEN SWERVE CAUSING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. I'M SORRY IF I AM UPSETTING YOUR BUREAUCRATIC SYSTEM BUT WOULD YOU MIND ISSUING AN IMMEDIATE RECALL ON THESE INSANE AND LUDICROUS CONTRAPTIONS. THANK YOU. KEEF.
