I have news!
Had an email exchange with Tesla earlier this week and they say there is a touch up pen/kit coming for alloys. Pasted here and edited for length, etc.
Essentially, it's likely to be weeks but something is coming!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good Morning Ryan,
Unfortunately, there is no mark-up on the price yet. I’ve e-mailed the relevant department this morning for more information! (Cost, availability, etc).
We will be in touch once we get a reply.
Kind Regards

Hi,
Thanks very much for the info. So I presume that I will receive an email when the appropriate part is available? Do you have any indication of cost yet or is it too early to say?
Thanks
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
I think we’re looking towards weeks rather than days. I will hopefully get some more information over the next few days,
Kind Regards

Hi
Really appreciate the speedy response.
Do you have any timescales for the release? Are we talking days and weeks or is it not yet scheduled?
Thanks

Ryan,
Please ignore the last e-mail for the time being. We’ve stumbled across a potential touch-up pen release, however, we need to get some more information first.
We will be back in touch either way. Sorry to mess you about.

Good Afternoon Ryan,
Thank you for your e-mail.
Unfortunately, we do not have the colour code for any wheels we have on all of our Tesla vehicles, which also answers the 2nd question that we also do not supply any paint repairs kits or touch-up pens for it.
However, I have provided a link to a list of Tesla Approved Body Shops, who may be able to help…
Body Shop Support
We apologise for the negative response in answers and we wish you the best of luck in obtaining the paint to fix your wheels.
Kind Regards

Hello,
I am hoping you can assist me. I have scratched one of my wheels and I’d like to repair it with touch up paint. Can you answer the following questions or point me in the right direction please?
Can you confirm the colour of the wheels on my model please?
Can you confirm if Tesla sell a paint pen that matches the colour?
If not, are you able to tell me where I can source a repair kit with the appropriate colour match please?
Thanks
