NHTSA complaint #11400003

Owner complaint summary

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ISSUE OF POPPED BALL-JOINTS WHICH IS AFFECTING ALL MODELS OF TESLA CARS. HERE IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF A BALL-JOINT THAT HAS POPPED APART FOR NO GOOD REASON. HTTPS://WWW.IAAI.COM/VEHICLEDETAILS/39240789?TENANT=US&ROWNUMBER=3 IT IS EASY TO FIND OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS SAME FAILURE IN OTHER TESLA AT THE JUNKYARD. I WILL ATTACH A FEW PHOTOGRAPHS TO SHOW YOU. THES BALL JOINTS ARE OF LOW QUALITY, UNDERSIZED, PRONE TO CREAKING AND GROANING DUE TO LACK OF GREASE WHICH CAUSES THE BALL TO WEAR DOWN AND POP OUT. THE TESLA FORUMS ARE FILLED WITH REPORTS ABOUT THIS. ELON MUSK HAS ADDRESSED THIS BY NERFING THE FORUMS. DEFINITELY A GENIUS.
