As a corporation that used the vehicle for transport we have suffered huge economic setbacks and have had to forfeit several opportunities due to the lack of response and cooperation with the parties that are involved. 
The tow yard located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXhas refused to release the car in my possession so that it can at least be in an area not assessing fees which are a non liability at this point and time. We are concerned for the status of the vehicle and the replacement of the vehicle and are demanding response and rectification from Tesla motors effective immediately. I expect a reply asap regarding this matter the cost at the tow yard are not in my subjection as I have repeatedly informed Tesla to tow the vehicle out of the impound so that it can stop accessing charges. 
The impound yard is being involved in this dispute as they have the vehicle and have not released it against my many efforts. we are seeking replacement vehichle that is operatating as this vehicle is inoperatable and completely compromised and not receptive to repair, however daily tesla motor services is continuously texting me for lease payments with the pure intention of collecting a debt however they are a motor vehicle distribution agency and it is harassing in nature and detrimental in nature as we are looking for a means of restitution so that we can move on with and continue to conduct business as per usual. 
P.S.THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND TESLA IS IN FULL VIOLATION OF THEIR OWN RULES AND REGULATIONS WHICH ARE ATTACHED IN THIS EMAIL. WE ARE SEEKING RESTITUTION AND EMOTIONAL AS WELL AS PHYSICAL DAMAGES DUE TO THE LEVEL OF INEFFECTIVE AND ABUSIVE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND DESTRUCTIVE AND NEGLIGENT RESPONSE AND RECONCILIATION.
