The star of 'Aladdin' says a defect in his Tesla Model 3 led to his car wreck, and it comes from a problem area the company has known about for years

Nah....that's just FUD.

It's top secret.

Raven mad?

Why are RMS values considered DC equivalent?

A retired engineer you say? Have you always been retired?

You sure you are from Huntsville? I think you must be from *untsville

I'd be asking why you were not called in for an urgent free replacement of these defective parts. Excessive negative camber? I should freaking coco!

Some confusion here. There are TSBs out for front fore-links and for rear suspension control arms. There is some uncertainty about which model years are affected. Rear control arms https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10153421-9999.pdf Forelinks below

I see you've done an advanced driving course :(

Yeah....that sounds really safe ......... :eek:

Do you think one hand at the bottom of the wheel will let you quickly regain control if things go wrong?
