So is there a link somewhere? There are many here that can read Chinese (and there is also the good old Google translate). Never heard of this being an issue in the US (or any other country). Road conditions may be bad there, but there are plenty of places in the US that have lots of potholes also.The author of this thread took this story and pictures from another website which was never disclosed.

What has happened here is someone has done something to damage the car and they're trying to scam compensation from Tesla. That's why it's posted here. There is a culture of this in China.
One of the first ModelS owners in China just had one of the cardan joints cracked completely during stall parking. It is unthinkable if this happens when the vehicle is moving at high speed. Tesla service center then replaced all 4 cardan joints and responded that 'the cardan joints were improved in 2015'.
In China a couple of owners (delivered in 2014) experienced similar issue. Some owners claim that if the steering wheel is pushed to extreme, they will hear loud noise coming from wheels and the car would be bumping up and down like a boat in waves.
I see you are a new TMC member. It sounds like you are not a Tesla owner, and you are passing on stories you have heard. At this point I do not believe what you describe has happened. It is not plausible that a steering joint could break while the vehicle was being parked. There are no reports of this happening in other countries.
