2013 TESLA MODEL S Complaints

HERE IS ANOTHER TESLA IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=24260079&ROWNUMBER=47&LOADRECENT=TRUE THE SUSPENSION HAS TOTALLY COLLAPSED AND IT APPEARS THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE IS THAT WHICH WAS CAUSED BY THE WHEELS JAMMING UP IN THE WELLS. I AM REPORTING THESE INCIDENTS AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN AND I REQUEST THAT YOU LAUNCH AN URGENT INVESTIGATION INTO THE SUSPENSION DEFECTS IN THIS VEHICLE.

HERE IS A TESLA IN THE SALVAGE YARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLE?ITEMID=23837634&ROWNUMBER=43&LOADRECENT=TRUE THE FRONT END OF THE CAR IS COMPLETELY SMASHED UP. THE BACK RH WHEEL AND SUSPENSION WHEEL HAS FALLEN OFF COMPLETELY AND THERE IS NO IMPACT DAMAGE TO THAT AREA OF THE CAR. BEARING IN MIND THE LARGE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS OF SUSPENSION FAILURES ON TESLAS IT WOULD SEEM HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE CAUSE OF THIS SERIOUS CRASH WAS THAT THE BACK WHEEL FELL OFF. IN ADDITION TO PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE YOU HAVE PUBLISHED COMPLAINTS FROM ACTUAL OWNERS COMPLAINING OF WHEELS GOING WHOMPY OR FALLING OFF COMPLETELY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHETHER THESE CRASHES ARE BEING CAUSED BY SUSPENSIONS THAT HAVE DESIGN, MANUFACTURING OR MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS. NOTE THAT I AM NOT THE OWNER JUST A CONCERNED CITIZEN. DATE OF CRASH IS AN APPROXIMATION.
