Tesla suspensions breaking and a wheel falling off is reaching epidemic proportions and is now not if but when it will happen as the suspension is so fragile it just cannot handle the weight of the heavy battery.

A passenger who survived tells his story.

I am no longer a Tesla owner as I sold my model 3 after a year. The interior was a bit too plain for me. I’m not sure I would call it a frustrating problem but I feel the only interaction a driver has with a car is what he sees and feels when sitting in the driving position. You don’t get the point of view of sitting anywhere else in the car and you don’t get the point of view of an onlooker when the car drives by. For me I just felt like I was driving a no frills car with a dash that looked like every cost had been cut to reduce price.

The only other frustrating time I had with a Tesla was in 2015 when I was with a friend driving his 2013 model S from Los Angeles to San Francisco on a deserted stretch of freeway.

We changed lanes and as the front driver side tire rolled over the small warning bumps between lanes we heard a pop followed by almost total loss of steering control.

Luckily there were no other cars near us or we would have definitely been in a major collision.

We managed to pull over to the side of the road and the wheel was totally out of position with what looked like pieces of hardware stuck near the brake caliper(see attached images).

After waiting hours for a tow truck we eventually got a tow to the nearest city.

The tow truck driver said it looked like a broken front axle and that he had seen the same issue on at least half a dozen Teslas in the last year.

My friend has since gotten the car fixed and whenever I ask him about it he says it was nothing as he is a big Tesla fan. As for me it was probably the scariest car incident I’ve had in my 30+ years of driving.

If you get into an unsafe death robot Tesla you take your life into your hands!!!!!!!

Global Warming has overheated poor Tweedledee's mind and made it seize up just like an overheated Tesla battery.

My Goodness Tweedledee's "mind" seized up by overheating by Global Warming is having palpitations!!! What a sad case.
And her Tweedle Twin Tweedledumb is just as badly affected. And they both vote for the Greenies!!!


Tesla is basically an unsafe pile of junk.

Other than acceleration they’re not much fun to drive. And even the acceleration gets boring. Too much torque means that as a driver you don’t have to work for speed. This would be a criticism of any high powered car. You’ll rarely get any sense of pushing a Model S for more than a few seconds

The handling is meh at best. Yes, the big tires will hold the road but the steering is numb like a video game.

It’s not luxurious in traditional terms of materials and craftsmanship. The S was designed as a $49k car with a much smaller battery. The interior materials are poor in the $50k segment and many Teslas are optioned over $100k.

Still not ideal for road trips. The charger network is growing but it’s not always easy to go from A to B and even if you can get to B you may not have charging options once you’re there.

They don’t tow much of anything or for any distance so if you want take a travel trailer or boat they’re not an option.

Daily or every other day charging is a pain for some.

Tweedledee, try drinking some WD40 - it might loosen up your seized up rusted "mind".

The dimwit can't even read as the article clearly says Teslas are useless at towing.

The village idiot troll VIRUS is annoyed at being repeatedly shown to be nothing more than a dumb dill. This exacerbates her neurotic inferiority complex. And she certainly is an inferior individual.

It is fun psycho analyzing the neurotic confusion of such specimens.

The penalty of mental inadequacy and poor education and low IQ. Should not have mucked up so much while at school.

Perhaps the specimen being analyzed should follow her own advice and stay away ?
