Consumer Description
HERE IS ANOTHER TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD: HTTPS://EREPAIRABLES.COM/SALVAGE-CARS-AUCTION/TESLA/MODEL+S/VID-44567577 THE AIR SUSPENSION HAS COLLAPSED WHILST THE CAR WAS IN MOTION CAUSING THE WHEELS TO JAM UP IN THE WELLS AND DAMAGE THE LINER AND BODYWORK. FAILURE OF THE AIR SUSPENSION IS A COMMON DEFECT IN TESLAS AND MANY OF THESE CASES HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IN THE TESLA FORUMS AND HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA. ANY NORMAL CAR MANUFACTURER WOULD HAVE FIXED THIS PROBLEM BY FITTING LIMIT STOPS ON THE SUSPENSION. BUT THIS COMPANY IS RUN UNDER THE RULE OF LORD ELON MUSK WHO MUST NEVER BE QUESTIONED. THERE IS NO NEED TO PRESS THE INSANE BUTTON. IT COMES AS STANDARD WITH EVERY TESLA. YOURS WHOMPILY. KEEF
