Narrative

The contact owned a 2018 Tesla Model X. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at approximately 17 MPH, the vehicle suddenly made a right turn and crashed into a bridge. No warning lights illuminated. The contact's wife did seek medical attention; however, she sustained minor whiplash. A police report was not filed, but a Police Department did report on scene. Upon further inspection, the contact arrived on scene and noticed that the Rear passenger-side tire had detached, possibly due to the axle. The vehicle was towed to a local Collision shop, where it was deemed a total loss. In addition, prior to the accident, the vehicle was taken to a local independent tire shop, where the front two Tire and Brake pads were replaced. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,726.
