HERE IS A MANGLED AND PARTIALLY BURNED MODEL X IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://EREPAIRABLES.COM/SALVAGE-CARS-AUCTION/TESLA/MODEL+X/VID-46135539 THE BACK WHEEL HAS FALLEN OFF AND IS STASHED IN THE FRUNK. ALL THE SUSPENSION LINKS ON THE BACK ARE STRETCHED AND SNAPPED, BUT THE WHEEL IS ALMOST UNDAMAGED. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THOSE STRETCHED LINKS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE CRASH. THE REAR OF THE CAR IS ALMOST UNDAMAGED. IT IS IDIOTIC TO USE EXTRUDED ALUMINUM FOR CRITICAL SUSPENSION LINKS, THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE WEIGHT AND POWER OF THE CAR. THE DANGER ONLY INCREASES AS THE CARS GETS OLDER NOT JUST BECAUSE OF WEAR AND TEAR BUT ALSO BECAUSE CHEAPER SECONDHAND TESLAS ARE AFFORDABLE FOR YOUNG INEXPERIENCED AND OFTEN RECKLESS YOUNGER OWNERS. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. THAN YOU. KEEF

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Tesla Model X 60d verdict →
