Description of the problem | Here is a tesla model 3 in the junkyard. Https://www. Iaai. Com/vehicledetails/35467844/15 the top suspension ball joint has simply popped apart. This ball joint is only connected to a steering knuckle made from monkey metal and to a suspension arm made from plastic. How in the name of beelzebub does a suspension ball joint simply pop apart like this ? (and there are plenty more tesla examples to be found ) nntsb has opined that you have been letting tesla get away with murder (autopilot) just wait till they start investigating the whompy wheels. Tell you what. I'll give them a heads up myself. Have a great day. Keef |
