Had the car for about 6 weeks now, but on New Year's Eve I hit a pot hole that had disguised itself as a puddle, and am very surprised to find that the rear wheel rim has a puncture hole!!
The wheel (19") is not distorted, and the inner and outer lip of the wheel are undamaged. Superficially at least, the tyre itself looks sound. No splits, cracks or bulges
I know that teslas and potholes don't go together, but even so, this seems to be very unusual, especially since the front wheel has escaped altogether. I've shown the image to a number of time served mechanics all of whom are bemused by the damage.
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and if you think that this may be a manufacturing fault?
