I just received delivery of my vehicle and just got a curb rash when trying to enter the parking garage (had to stop to get a ticket) . Its about 2 inches long. I have less than 100 miles on the vehicle. You think I can report it to tesla to have them fix it since under 100 miles since I was told i had 100 miles to report any issues?

I think you should contact your local wheel repair shop and pay for it our of your own pocket. Let's have a little integrity and not ask Tesla to repair issues they did not create. Moral of the story: Be more careful next time around curbs.

C'mon man - can you really go to Tesla and say it was their fault?

That would be a pretty punk-ass move. I have my issues with Tesla service and avoid them at all cost, but geez man, have a little integrity.

Is this a commentary on the current state of morality? You actually think it’s ok to lie and cheat to the point of posting on a forum? Wow

If it makes you feel better I just curbed my wheel 15mins ago and thought of this post right away.

It sucks but eventually it happens. Now I am googling how to fix it.

Took me a month to get my first curb rash... oh well, nothing real bad, i know it's there. No one else would probably notice.

just like a first door ding.... such is life, it's a car.

Curbing wheels is a fact of life here in the states. With all the drive-thru restaurants, coffee shops and parallel parking, we're bound to catch one sooner or later. No matter how careful we are. Sometimes, it's not even our fault. I can't tell you how many times valets f'd up my wheels. Oh, and then there's my dear mrs. Bless her heart. lol! I just look at the damage, cuss like a sailor then text my wheel guy to get them fixed. :D
