Consumer Description

HERE IS A TESLA MODEL 3 IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/38603577?ROWNUMBER=11 IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE BODYWORK AND NO AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. THE FRONT SUSPENSION APPEARS TO HAVE COMMITTED SEPPUKU. ALL ITS GIBLETS HAVE FALLEN OUT. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE SUSPENSION HAS BEEN UNABLE TO WITHSTAND THE INSANE AND LUDICROUS POWER OF THE MOTOR AND HAS HAD ITS NUTS WRENCHED OFF. I THINK THE SAME THING SHOULD HAPPEN TO THE NHTSA OFFICIALS THAT ALLOW THESE LETHAL CONTRAPTIONS TO BE ON THE ROADS. HAVE A GREAT DAY. REGARDS KEEF
