Consumer Description

HERE IS A LOVELY TESLA MODEL Y IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/37278352?ROWNUMBER=0 AND GUESS WHAT? THE BACK WHEEL FELL OFF! ALL THE SUSPENSION GIBLETS HAVE SNAPPED LIKE A PRETZEL. IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THIS IS THE RESULT OF COLLISION DAMAGE UNLESS IT WAS CHARGED BY A PYGMY HIPPOPOTAMUS. WOULD YOU KINDLY HAVE A WORD TO TESLA AND ASK THEM TO DO A BETTER JOB OF MANUFACTURING THE SUSPENSION GIBLETS. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN. KEEF
