Consumer Description

HERE IS YET ANOTHER TESLA THAT HAS ARRIVED IN THE JUNKYARD BECAUSE ITS WHEEL WENT WHOMPY. HTTPS://WWW.COPART.COM/LOT/55641240/PHOTOS/2017-TESLA-MODEL-S-NC-CHINA-GROVE THERE IS NO CRASH DAMAGE AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS IS A SELF INFLICTED INJURY CAUSED BY PITIFULLY WEAK EXTRUDED MONKEY-METAL SUSPENSION PARTS. TESLA ADMITS TO THE WEAKNESS BUT CLAIMS IT IS NOT DANGEROUS AND WILL NOT LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS IS BULLPLOP! CHINA HAS ORDERED A RECALL BECAUSE OF THESE SUSPENSION BREAKAGES. ALL THE TESLAS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR ORGANISATION THAT YOU ARE ALLOWING THIS SITUATION TO CONTINUE. YOU HAVE RECEIVED HUNDREDS OF VALID COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. CONTRARY TO WHAT MUSK HAS TWEETED OUT THESE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT FAKE OR FRAUDULENT. PLEASE GET ON WITH DOING YOUR JOB. THANK YOU. CITIZEN KEEF
