| Description of the problem | Here is another tesla in the junkyard. Https://www. Iaai. Com/vehicledetails/38425126? Rownumber=2 it has not been in a collision. The only damage is to the front drivers side wheel well. The tread on the tire is completely worn away because the suspension giblets snapped whilst the car was in motion and the wheel then moved back and rubbed against the bodywork. Driver got lucky this time. He could easily have been killed or injured. Would you please get these tent built deathtraps off the roads right now. Thank you. Keef |
