    This was so already so well known like 5+ years ago that people on Twitter gave it a name - #WhompyWheel

    There are a bunch of pictures of Teslas where the wheel just fell off (and that caused an accident) or was torn off by a mild accident or hitting a normal pothole. Crazy stuff. But hey, at least Tesla cars are heavy and have good acceleration, so what could go wrong!?

      i can only imagine what the change in face looks like when a smug twat has a wheel fall off while driving like a dipshit with an over priced piece of plastic and electric engines
