Consumer Description
HERE IS A 2020 TESLA MODEL S IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/39339176?TENANT=US&ROWNUMBER=11 EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO SEE THAT THE STEERING KNUCKLE ON THE FRONT RH SIDE HAS CRACKED IN HALF. THE TIRE FROM THAT SIDE IS STASHED BENEATH THE CAR AND IT HAS A HOLE GOUGED IN IT. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY FATAL TESLA CRASHES IN WHICH MECHANICAL FAILURE IS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF THE CRASH. THERE HAS BEEN ANOTHER FATAL CRASH IN THE LAST FEW DAYS IN WHICH A TESLA SUDDENLY VEERED OF THE ROAD, CRASHED AND BURNED AND INCINERATED THE DRIVER. MECHANICAL FAILURE CAN NOT BE RULED OUT AS THE CAUSE OF THIS CRASH. IT IS NOT JUST ONE COMPONENT THAT IS FAILING. TESLA CHOOSES THE CHEAPEST COMPONENT SUPPLIERS NOT THE BEST ONES. THIS COMPANY IS SLAUGHTERING PEOPLE. PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. THANK YOU KEEF
