EACH TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES OR SLOWS DOWN/STOPS, IT MAKES A LOUD THUMP NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, USUALLY AUDIBLE AT BACK RIGHT PORTION OF VEHICLE. TESLA HAS DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE AS A CRACKED REAR SUBFRAME. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE, MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND EVEN RECALLS/CLASS ACTION SUITS HAVE BEEN FILED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. IN CHINA, FOR INSTANCE, THERE ARE MULTIPLE RECALLS SET UP TO ADDRESS THIS KNOWN ISSUE. HOWEVER, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SUCCESSFUL FILING IN THE US AS FAR AS I CAN FIND. ULTIMATELY TESLA SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR SINCE ITS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL, BUT THEY ARE FORCING US TO PAY ($2917.50, NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO STEM FROM WHAT TESLA CALLS A HARD POTHOLE OR SUSPENSION EVENT, ALTHOUGH THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE ON THE VEHICLE SINCE WE PURCHASED...
