| Description of the problem | Here is a model 3 in the junkyard. Https://www. Copart. Com/lot/25836110/photos the cast metal hub assembly on the front rh side has shattered causing the wheel to fall off. This was not the result of a crash, no air-bags have deployed and there is almost no damage to the bodywork. This cracked hub is indicative of bad quality casting and quality control. It is unlikely to be the only such case. The culture of intimidation at tesla in which it is reported that daring to make eye contact with lord elon will result in immediate dismissal means that these failures are never reported. Please investigate. Keef wivaneff |
