| Description of the problem | Here is another model 3 in the junkyard with the same old snapped sparrow leg suspension. Https://www. Iaai. Com/vehicle? Itemid=29342528&rownumber=85&loadrecent=true all of the air-bags have gone off but there is no significant damage except for the snapped suspension. It is quite likely that after the wheel went whompy the car spun around and decelerated rapidly setting off the airbags. There are now four reported instances of model 3 snapped suspensions and yet not a single owner has filed a complaint. I wonder why.... Perhaps tesla has them sign an nda? Please investigate. Please please investigate. Thank you. Perplexed citizen. |
