Wheels falling off cars at speed. Suspensions collapsing on brand-new vehicles. Axles breaking under acceleration. Tens of thousands of customers told Tesla about a host of part failures on low-mileage cars. The automaker sought to blame drivers for vehicle ‘abuse,’ but Tesla documents show it had tracked the chronic ‘flaws’ and ‘failures’ for years.

There are electric cars that aren't made by grifters and that don't lose their wheels though.
Like none of these failures are inherent to electric cars, just to cheaply made cars with no quality control.
