A user alias @preneh24 says he bought a new Tesla Model Y on January 24, but on the 30th, he stayed behind the wheel of the electric car as he drove right on the highway. It fell from the assembly hanging on the wires. Perhaps, during the assembly of the car, the craftsmen forgot to install the steering wheel, so it simply turned out.

What about the passengers?

Patel said no one was injured in the incident.

“When they received the Tesla Y on 24.01.2023, the family was very excited. While driving on the highway, the steering wheel suddenly fell off. Fortunately, there was no car behind me and I was able to pull over.”

The driver called the tow truck and took the electric car to the official service center where he had it repaired. A $103 bill to replace the steering wheel. The victim had to argue with the service personnel, after which the steering wheel was screwed into place, still for free.

In his post, Prerak calls out to Elon Musk and says he has lost his trust in Tesla. He wants to buy the car back and return the purchase price to himself because he no longer feels safe in it.

Am I responsible for a manufacturing defect? Less than a week later I received an invoice for the defective steering wheel. Does the company have to fix this? I would appreciate it if you would take delivery of the car and refund me the money. [його вартість]because we lost our trust and the family didn’t feel safe getting their trust back,
