Consumer Description

I was driving out to Pittsburgh to drop my daughters off at school, and my rear driver-side tire rapidly went from 40 PSI to 20. I almost lost control of the vehicle at one point. It turns out my 9 month old Tesla Model Y performance had a cracked rim. I have had cars for almost 40 years and never had a cracked rim until now. Something is seriously wrong with the 21 inch rims Tesla is making for their model Y performance models. I was in the Tesla Dealer today and 2 other people had the exact same problem, and their is a ton of info online about Tesla cracked rims. I had to pay $1,018 for a new rim that was 9 months old. (So did the 2 other people today) Something seriously is wrong with Tesla Model Y Performance rims. Their manufacturing process clearly is flawed for this to be such a persistent problem.
