Narrative

I have the Foundation Cyberbeast, the model which has an OEM light bar on windshield. While driving on 2-22-2026 at approximately 3:30 pm on the 5 freeway near Santa Ana, the appx 4 ft long light bar flew off and ricocheted violently on vehicle, while still attached by the power cord. This damaged many parts of my vehicle, specifically the glass roof, front windshield, and various body components which were shattered or scratched. I cut my hands. Your database says there are 0 open recalls and that is a lie by Tesla, because they sent me a notice months ago saying they are awaiting mechanical attachment methods. So they know they need to change the attachment method from epoxy to mechanical, but are falsely reporting to the government that they already did so.
