Mine are as good as new. Exactly how are you curbing them.......parking, cornering etc?
I'd try to alter my driving, before downgrading.

forget about repainting until the 3yr buyback or when you want to sell - I have the cheap black taobao HKD60 rim "protectors" which don't protect the rim but cover up the scratches on my 21" grey turbine. The black is very inconspicuous does a good job. Scratched my 3 times now in the 3 months I've had the car. Now drive like a grandpa in tight areas and carparks to avoid. Tried to park in Aberdeen and scraped the curb because the road was so ridiculously narrow and this car is so wide...

Hey guys. Just stumbled onto this thread. For those of you having issues with curbing wheels we partnered with BBS to develop our own set of wheels specifically for the Model S. We knew that the width of a Model S was an issue so we developed our wheels with removable wheel protectors so they can easily be popped off and replaced rather than repairing the actual wheel. Might be a good option for anyone having this issue

same here, i scratched my rim the fourth day after i picked up my car.... it was in hk station carpark (the entrance is tight), i've always parked my old car there the last 2 years and never scratch the rim... i have to admit the model s is wide and the side mirrors make it even wider...

Well, my poor wife is used to driving an Escalade. her first time solo in my MS she dings the rim on a curb.
The second time, she scrapes paint off the underside of the front bumper. So, I don't care, I'm buying old school curb feelers and paint them matte black. It's, better than spending $$$ on repairs. When I do, I'll post a picture here to let others gauge the practicality against esthetics. Until Tesla comes out with a way to have "electronic curb feelers", I think that's the way its gonna be for me.

I noticed that the Honda Civic have a right side view camera providing a side view when backing up.
I am considering adding a new camera and using a switch to select the rear or the right view on the monitor screen.
Of course, it would be nicer to use the camera from the AP.
I believe that Tesla is considering adding a bird's view / surround cam by enabling AP2's cameras to render a surround view picture, which would help with the curb rash.
I've this in my other car (which is wider than the MS), works amazingly well in HK.
