What owners wrote
This is a complaint about a burned out tesla model 3. I have used the VIN of a random wrecked tesla because the VIN of the car in question is unrecognisable due to fire. Here is the toasted tesla [link removed] it has been burned to a crisp but the front wheel has been wrenched off due to the usual broken suspension arms and popped ball joints. The wheel must have fallen by the wayside because it is not burned in the slightest and has been stashed inside the body of the car post-inferno.
The vehicle was parked. But wouldn't move to gear (drive or reverse). It was giving the message "cannot maintain vehicle power". Had I lost the power while driving, it would have been a clear safety issue.
