Has anyone had a problem with the wheel well liner on the Model S? I have 2017 with 32k miles. Had not hit any obstacles. Had driven it home after service for computer display freezing 4 weeks ago where it sat in my garage until I attempted to back it out of the garage when there was a terrible crunching sound from the left front wheel. The lining inside the well had buckled and crunched against the tire making the car undrivable. Mobile Tesla technician arrived and found the left front control arm had broken off. Car is being towed to Tesla service center. Car only has 32.8K miles. Anyone else have this happen without an accident or pothole injury?

Yes. You can see the bit that broke off there on the floor in your second image. There is a fairly long thread about this issue. I'll hunt for it if someone doesn't beat me to it.
Edit: here it is: Cracked forelink?
Pictures on second page of this thread - the broken pieces will look like that piece on your floor.

Another front suspension control arm failure
After the warranty was "looked into" further, the control arms are now being replaced under warranty. The front driver's coil spring I will pay for (even though my sketchy meter is still going off)... Was told it was leaking and the suspension could not be fixed without it being replaced...

I guess there are multiple threads about the issue... There was a recall in China for this very issue.
