Consumer Description
HERE IS A 2021 TESLA MODEL Y IN THE JUNKYARD HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/39612087?TENANT=US&ROWNUMBER=3 IT HAS BEEN IN A ROLLOVER AND IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE OCCUPANTS WERE INJURED. THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS SNAPPED OFF AND IT IS MOST PROBABLE THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ROLLOVER RATHER THAN DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE CRASH. MOST ALARMINGLY THE BASE OF THE STEERING KNUCKLE HAS CRACKED APART LEAVING HALF OF THE MOUNTING POINT STILL ATTACHED TO THE LOWER BALL JOINT. AN EXPANDED IMAGE OF THIS COMPONENT IS PROVIDED WITH THIS SUBMISSION. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT TESLA IS USING LOW QUALITY AND UNSAFE COMPONENTS ON THE CRITICAL SUSPENSION AND STEERING ASSEMBLIES. THE JUNKYARDS ARE FILLING UP WITH LATE MODEL TESLAS THAT STILL HAVE ABSURDLY WEAK SUSPENSION GIBLETS. PLEASE ASK THEM NICELY TO FIX THIS OR BETTER YET BAN THE WRETCHED THINGS FROM LEAVING THE TENT FACTORY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. KEEF
