Removed Video Catches Tesla Model 3 Crash After Front Suspension Collapses

Thanks to your dash cam, you have recorded the incident and thought it was curious enough to publish it on YouTube to share with some friends. A few days later, you decide to take it down without realizing you may have recorded the first video example of "Whompy Wheels."
