    I suggest to stick to short posts to avoid headaches and disappointment.

    Long Road Trips. My Experience and Why Tesla's are Currently Unfit.

    Yes, my friend who owns a Model X recently had a similar incident in an urban area. Tesla dispatched a mobile service that swapped the wheel while the damaged one was sent to a Tesla Service Center for repair. The only cost was the actual repair.

    The fact that it's a Hummer and that there were plenty of spots around makes me think it was not an accident. Maybe I should start blocking gas stations with my Tesla and see what kind of reaction I get.

    If it's going to take me eight hours to get a to a ski resort, I prefer there is snow, affordable lift tickets, and no line at the lift. You should try it, you're even closer than I am!

    I blame Tesla for not being able to swap my wheel, I'm the one to blame for hitting the curb.

    My point is that the Model 3 tire size is very hard to find and that Tesla's roadside assistance is useless. I blame myself for hitting the curb.

    OK this is not a new thing but it's quite annoying, especially when you need to charge. What to do when you witness it? I've tried reporting but I've yet to see any consequence (ticket, towing) for those individuals.

    I've owned an Audi A4 Quattro, it had a full spare tire, and any tire shop I visited carried its size.

    Yes I agree about getting a tire repair kit but sidewall damage cannot be repaired and I've never had such a hard time finding a tire for my car.

    I assure you I'm not making this stuff up (I couldn't). I've been reading the forum for a while but decided to sign-up today to share my experience.

    Apparently the 235/45 R18 tire size is very uncommon and could not be sourced anywhere around where I was.

    The area was snow-covered so curbs didn't stand out visually or to sensors. It was my fault but I thought Tesla would be able to swap that wheel for me.

    Every ICE car I've owned prior to my Tesla had a spare.

    My family went on a ski trip this week to Utah. This trip had been planned for months and I seriously considered renting an ICE car for it. Then I reconsidered. After all, Tesla's supercharging network means that I can take long road trips. I studied the superchargers map on Tesla's website and...
