Read the recall link:

Watch the YT video.

Telsa made bad engineering choices on this vehicle. There's no point defending it.

I know what happened.

And also, Wired is trying to lie by omission and imply that this actually happened (while "merrily driving along"), when no such failure occurred.

The YT video is not from a Tesla hater, but shows real, structural failures with the CT and the engineering (using cast aluminum instead of steel).

I don't trust any singular source, but looking at evidence in aggregate across many sources, there are clear problems with the CT from material selection to parts engineering to overall capability vs what was sold.
