The Ford Dark Shadow Gray was a perfect match for my 18" aeros. Not sure if the Uberturbine's are the same color or not. Can't go look since my Y is in the shop getting some other paint correction fixes done!

Same here - first week, I wish the tires had a bit more buffer on the sidewall - or better yet Tesla's sensor could actually detect the curb.

Ack! Same thing happened to us last weekend. Does anyone have any experience with rim guards? I have read quite a bit about them but am concerned about proper installation- would love to find a TESLA specific shop in the Northeast that can install them for me.
I’ve used these the 1st week I got the Y. Not a perfect match but not terrible.

I wish there was a way to watch the passenger outside camera livestream ( as you can with the rear camera).
Would be useful to know how close curb is to tire sidewall when parking. Help, Elon!

I drove my last car for 11 years and didn't curb it once. Then I curbed my Y the first week too. Sucked so hard.

I dont know when it will help, but supposedly there will be a new update coming that will allow you to swipe the back up camera view to get side views. It will be in update 2020.24.5.1.
Backup Camera Improvements
You can now view video streams coming from your side repeater cameras for added visibility around the vehicle.
When the backup camera is visible, simply swipe to display the repeater camera video feeds.

I did the same on day 2. Anyway, another suggested a good short term fix is a sharpie permanent marker. I sanded the area first then applied the sharpie. It’s really not bad. It will do until Tesla offers us an Induction wheel paint touch up.
I have the 21" Ubers on my Y also, since the rims are a dark grey, I think it would be best to go the route of getting Ford Dark Shadow Gray vs using a black sharpie. I have not rashed a rim yet, but I expect it's just a matter of time once I get back to driving a lot

I got this paint (
Dupli-Color AFM0360 Dark Shadow Gray Ford Exact-Match Scratch Fix All-in-1 Touch-Up Paint - 0.25 oz.
) AND the Ford Dark Shadow Gray for my Model 3 Aero where which are the same color I believe and I found that the first choice, the Duplicate-Color goes on really easily and you can’t see it at all! Like brand new rims!
