Consumer Description
The airbags of the vehicle did not inflate when the car was hit by a concrete stone when the car was running at 70 miles per hour on a freeway. The stone came flying on to the windshield and completely smashed the Tesla Model 3 windshield and created a hole in the windshield. This is a grave safety failure of the vehicle where the driver or front passenger did not get any protection or safety from the broken glass of the windshield that hit the passenger and the driver when it was hit by the stone. The vehicle should have been equipped with enough failsafe, warnings, protection against windshield glass so that the safety of passengers is not compromised. As a Tesla owner, I feel unsafe to be driving the vehicle any more and would expect the company to take urgent action on this dangerous and unsafe vehicle that could potentially lead to more injuries and trauma for Tesla owners driving on the roads.
