NHTSA Complaint #11376653 — 2016 TESLA MODEL S

WE ORDERED AND BOUGHT OUR 2016 TESLA MODEL S BRAND NEW. WE KEEP OUR CARS AND TAKE CARE OF THEM - OUR 1996 FORD EXPLORER AND 2000 FORD F-250 STILL IN THE GARAGE RUNNING AS IF THEY WERE NEW. WE TAKE CARE OF OUT VEHICLES AND DRIVE THEM SO THEY LAST. OUR TESLA ONLY HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT AND IS ALWAYS STORED IN OUR ENCLOSED GARAGE. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN FOR THREE MONTHS AS WE GO BACK TO OUR COTTAGE IN THE MIDWEST FOR THE SUMMER. THIS YEAR (2020), BECAUSE OF COVID WE LEFT IN APRIL IN WHICH THE CAR SAT IN OUR GARAGE FOR FIVE MONTHS, NOT DRIVEN. AT OUR YEARLY CHECK UP, WE JUST DISCOVERED OUR REAR SHOCKS NEED REPLACING AT A COST OF $1,100.00 A SHOCK, 2,200 FOR THE PAIR. A CAR WITH 34,000 MILES, DRIVEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, WITH MANY OF THE MILES ON THE FREEWAY AND NEEDING REAR SHOCKS AFTER THREE YEARS? THE CAR MAYBE FOUR YEARS OLD BUT IT HAS SAT THREE MONTHS EACH YEAR, WHICH EQUATES TO SITTING ALMOST A YEAR NOT BEING DRIVEN AT ALL. IT JUST HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY? THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.
