  SUSPENSION

  HERE IS A TESLA MODEL Y IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/37390387?ROWNUMBER=4 THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS FALLEN OFF. IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE REASON IT FELL TO BITS IS THAT THE NUTS CAME LOOSE. HERE IS THE FORUM THREAD THAT PROVES THIS BOLT FALLS OFF FAR TOO EASILY. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/BE-AWARE-TIE-ROD-SAFETY-LIFE-AND-DEATH-ISSUE.205014/ NATURALLY THE TESLA FANBOYS RUSH TO THE DEFENSE OF THE SACRED TESLA. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS AND ASK TESLA TO GLUE THE SUSPENSIONS ON A BIT BETTER. THANK YOU KEEF

  SUSPENSION

  HERE IS A LOVELY TESLA MODEL Y IN THE JUNKYARD. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/37278352?ROWNUMBER=0 AND GUESS WHAT? THE BACK WHEEL FELL OFF! ALL THE SUSPENSION GIBLETS HAVE SNAPPED LIKE A PRETZEL. IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THIS IS THE RESULT OF COLLISION DAMAGE UNLESS IT WAS CHARGED BY A PYGMY HIPPOPOTAMUS. WOULD YOU KINDLY HAVE A WORD TO TESLA AND ASK THEM TO DO A BETTER JOB OF MANUFACTURING THE SUSPENSION GIBLETS. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN. KEEF

  STEERING, SUSPENSION

  PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE USED THE VIN OF A JUNKYARD MODEL Y TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. THIS COMPLAINT AFFECTS EVERY MODEL Y ON THE ROADS. HERE IS A DISCUSSION THREAD IN WHICH SEVERAL OWNERS REPORT THAT VITAL NUTS ON THE SUSPENSIONS ARE VIBRATING LOOSE AND FALLING OFF. HTTPS://TESLAMOTORSCLUB.COM/TMC/THREADS/BE-AWARE-TIE-ROD-SAFETY-LIFE-AND-DEATH-ISSUE.205014/ SEVERAL OF THE POSTERS INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD BE REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO NHTSA BUT THEY WILL PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE "SUPPORTING THE MISSION! THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE LOCK-WASHER HAVE EXCELLENT VIDEOS THAT EXPLAIN WHY THE NORD-LOCK WASHER IS LIABLE TO FAIL IN THIS APPLICATION AND THAT A MUCH BETTER CHOICE WOULD BE THE NORD-WEDGE. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=VINYUXFTNW0&FEATURE=EMB_LOGO HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=CDLMBMV9ICU&FEATURE=EMB_LOGO THIS WOULD BE A VERY LOW COST IMPROVEMENT AND WOULD SAVE LIVES. THE PHOTOGRAPHS ON THE THREAD PROVE THAT THE NUTS ARE VIBRATING LOOSE AND FALLING OFF. TESLA DEFENDERS ON THE THREAD ACCUSE THE ORIGINAL POSTER OF FUD! PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. THANK YOU

  UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  SINCE MY WIFE AND I TOOK DELIVERY OF OUR NEW MODEL Y, WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WHICH HAVE REQUIRED SERVICING. THESE ISSUES RANGE FROM WIRES HANGING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE TO WINDOW ALIGNMENTS TO OUR TURN SIGNAL NOTE WORKING AND MANY OTHER ISSUES. LATELY THE ISSUES HAVE BECOME A HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE TESLA AND TO THE PUBLIC. THIS VERY SERIOUS HAZARD HAS TO DO WITH THE VEHICLES CONTROL DISPLAY. THE DISPLAY HAS FROZEN IN PLACE NOT ALLOWING US TO KNOW WHAT GEAR WE ARE IN, HOW FAST WE ARE GOING AND WHETHER THE SIGNALS ARE OPERATING. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE AND WEEK AND NOW IS HAPPENING EVERY OTHER TIME WE GET IN THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH A FROZEN OR BLANK OR MALFUNCTIONING SCREEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN IH-10 ENDANGERING US AND THE DRIVERS AROUND US. WE ARE ESSENTIALLY DRIVING BLIND. IT IS A FRIGHTENING FEELING HAVING THE DISPLAY FREEZING AND THEN REBOOTING WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY. WE THOUGH THIS WAS A ONE OFF, THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES THIS HAPPENED; NOW IT IS HAPPENING EVERY OTHER TIME WE GET IN THE VEHICLE. TODAY, THE SCREEN REBOOTED TWICE AND EVEN AFTER THAT, THE SOUND NEVER CAME BACK ON. WE HAD NO ACCESS TO THE RADIO NAVIGATION GUIDANCE OR AUDIBLE SIGNALS. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN SUDDENLY WENT FROM HIGH TO LOW ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANYWAY TO CONTROL IT. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY ALERTS US THAT THE FRONT HOOD IS OPEN WHILE WE ARE DRIVING; THIS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN ALONG WITH THE OTHER ISSUES. THE SCREEN RANDOMLY DISPLAYS HAZRDS WHILE DRIVING AND THE SPEED AND GEAR SELECT DISAPPEAR RANDOMLY, REBOOTING OVER AND OVER WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR ALSO BRAKED VERY HARD ON THE HIGHWAY RECENTLY FOR NO REASON. MY WIFE AND I WERE BOTH IN THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE MANY VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF THESE OCCURENCES. MANY MORE RANDOM SAFETY ISSUES, TOO MANY TO LIST WHILE DRIVING. VERY HIGH SAFETY ISSUES.
