    I disagree, because they can come apart when hitting a pothole. I know there are a ton of potholes in western Pa and central New Youk.

    No I didn't.


    No it's not. And Hybridcars has had an ongoing anti-Tesla bias. But there is a very interesting statement in that article from our old buddy "Keef"

    Even your buddy Keef has stated that your failure has NO relation to the other "failures" he thinks he has seen. Which means even in Keefs pretend world of suspension failures yours is completely unrelated to the others. You seem to be under the delusion that any "suspension failure" is related, but unless the exact same specific component, i.e. ball joint, fails in the exact same way, i.e. excessive ball corrosion leading to a ball and socket separation there is no relation at all. Do you understand that fact?

    Certainly not in CA where those two people drove off cliffs. I saw photos of at least one of those roads and it's quite smooth. Also it's unlikely to pull a ball joint out unless you are driving slowly over a very deep pothole and the suspension has the time to drop to full extension, something unlikely to happen at speed.
