I had the car for about a week and was driving on a gravel road at normal speeds. And all of sudden the a TERRIBLE grinding noise started. It was LOUD especially compared to how quite the car drives. Stopping and then moving slowly with the windows open I could ascertain the noise was emanating from the front drivers side wheel. Turning the wheel left and right did not really help. I stopped and got out. What do do? My brand new Tesla X P100D was disabled. It could NOT be moved without that grinding noise. How much did I spend on a car that just broke down in a remote area?
After all those thoughts of angst passed, I got out and tried to figure out what was wrong. My fingers, traced over the back of the drivers side tire along the arm that holds on the wheel. There is NOT much clearance to reach in but angling my arm just right to feel something that was NOT metal. A ROCK... My fingers could just touch it but not move it.
Now what to do...
