Elon Musk Suggests Possible Conspiracy Behind Tesla Model S Suspension Claims - The Drive

Interestingly enough, electrek noted that most of the falsified reports of Tesla suspension failures were filed by one man, an Australian who goes by the names Keef Leech, a.k.a. "Keef Wivaneff." Leech, whose YouTube page describes him as a man who "blows the whistle on GREEN SCAMS," has been on a quxiotic campaign to bring down Tesla, crusading against the carmaker in various online forums and assembling a gallery of images of crashed Model Ss which he uses to make apparently unfounded claims that the cars are unsafe.

In at least one of the filings, Leech admitted he falsified his address in order to post the complaint with the American safety agency, claiming that enough reports could force the NHTSA to investigate. However, as electrek pointed out, the agency only began investigating the Model S's suspension after the latest, substantiated report.

As to why he's so interested? Well, of course, it is possible Leech has a financial interest in seeing Tesla flop. But given his verbose online campaigns against corporate green power and claims that SpaceX faked at least one of its rocket landings, he may just be a good ol' fashioned kook.
