Consumer Description
HERE IS A TESLA MODEL 3 IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/35210670/PHOTOS/2020-TESLA-MODEL-3-NJ-SOMERVILLE IT HAS TRAVELLED JUST 200 MILES SINCE LEAVING THE TESLA TENT. IT IS LISTED AS HAVING SUSPENSION DAMAGE. THE FRONT OF THE CAR HAS DROPPED SO FAR THAT THE WHEELS ARE JAMMED UP IN THE WELLS. IT IS INSANE AND LUDICROUS THAT THESE CARS DO NOT HAVE LIMIT STOPS ON THE AIR SUSPENSION SO THAT A SIMPLE AIR-LEAK DOES NOT LEAD TO A DISASTROUS COLLAPSE. IN THIS INSTANCE THERE WAS NOT A MAJOR CRASH BUT THAT IS ENTIRELY DOWN TO LUCK. I HOW MANY DEAD AND MANGLED PEOPLE DO YOU NEED BEFORE YOU GROUND THESE DEATH-TRAPS? YOURS IN DISGUST KEEF
