Hi all: we have loved our 2018 model S. We made the mistake of getting the 21" turbine wheels with the car, and they bent and eventually cracked. Instead of getting another set of $6000 wheels only to have them crack, we bought a set of replica OEM turbine wheels. These have actually been very reliable and we have had no issues.
As our model S lease came to an end, we bought some new tires and cleaned up the car for the lease return. Everything is in great condition as we have loved and cared for the car. I was surprised to receive an email today saying that we owe $7500 for a new set of turbine wheels. This seems outrageous for numerous reasons, foremost among them the fact that a set of new turbine wheels only costs $6000 on the Tesla website.
Do we have any recourse here? Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
