Back in June,
a story about an alleged defect in Tesla’s suspension prompted a probe by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and ended up making international news. As we reported at the time,
the story ended up originating from NHTSA complaints filed by an Australian man based on his own interpretation of pictures of salvaged Tesla Model S cars from websites.
Despite NHTSA looking into the alleged issue and reportedly not finding anything, the Australian in question, Keef Wivaneff, is still filing his bogus NHTSA complaints about Tesla.
Since we published our story on Wivaneff, also known Keef Leech,
15 more complaints have been filed about the Model S with NHTSA. The vast majority of the complaints follow Leech’s pattern of linking to pictures of a Model S accident or salvaged vehicle for sales without any VIN if it’s not available on the website.
