Consumer Description
Car is equipped with Tesla’s “Sonic Carbon Twin Turbine” rim option. This is not a very common option, so there may not be too many affected vehicles. Car is only 6-months old, and I was advised by Tesla service center that ***all 4 rims*** on the vehicle were cracked, each rim in multiple places, on a 6-month old car. Car weighs 5,000lbs. These rims are too weak to handle that high weight on typical road conditions. It is unheard of to find cracks in ALL 4 rims on even an older car! And this is on a 6-month old car! This is extremely unsafe.
