Consumer Description

HERE IS A 2021 MODEL Y IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/39198554?TENANT=US&ROWNUMBER=18 IN COMMON WITH MANY OTHER TESLA JUNKYARD CARS IT HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH BUT HAS SIMPLY HAD THE SUSPENSION FALL TO BITS. THE STEM OF THE BALL JOINT ON THE STEERING ARM HAS SNAPPED. THE LOWER BALL-JOINT IS HALFWAY FALLEN OFF. THE UNDAMAGED WHEEL IS LYING ON THE GROUND BESIDE THE CAR. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MAJOR FORCE TO BE APPLIED TO THE SUSPENSION WITHOUT THE WHEEL BEING DAMAGED. THIS IS ONCE AGAIN THE FAULT OF CHAOTIC DISORGANIZED MANUFACTURING AND WIDESPREAD DRUG USE AT TESLA. WATCH THIS VIDEO TO SEE GOOD REASON WHY DRUGS ARE BAD. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=HF_ORMIY9TK M'KAY? PLEASE DO YOUR JOB. THANK YOU. KEEF
