Consumer Description

Front Half shafts keep failing due to extreme angles of operation where bearing races are spalled as a result and could result in a high speed failure. Have had 3 replacements in 25K miles and will need a 4th replacement. Lowering car to bring halfshafts more geometrically in line improves halfshaft life, but in turn cause significant rear tire wear resulting in potential high speed blow outs. Adjustable suspension Front and rear links would significantly improve both issues and should be, in my opinion, offered by Tesla as a warranty service bulletin as soon as possible.
