"Failure analysis of metallic components has been the preoccupation of the metallurgical community for years. When failures happen and are analyzed, the root causes should be identified and steps should be taken to change the conditions that allowed an event to happen. Then, knowing how a failure happened, the investigator can ascertain why it happened."
alexml500 The cause of this failure can be established. Fracture, fatigue, bad casting etc. Just demand that Tesla give you the failed part. I have a friend that owns a casting company and supplies the Automotive industry and I believe he can be helpful in getting the analysis. Respond to this and I will give you a way to contact.
Did you read the post on Tesla.com where where

"After they fixed it (it only took an hour) I asked for the part back; they refused to even let me see it. They fixed it under warranty. If they had not I would have demanded the part and would have taken it to a local university for testing"
ignorance is bliss knowledge is power --let me know if I can be of assist.
If the dots are large enough to bend the rim, then a car pulling onto the right shoulder could hit them with the right front and left rear, assuming the car ends up to the right of the dots. Or like @jaguar36 suggested, the bends were from a different event.
Heck, I've had to get the alloy rims on our mid sized SUV fixed 3 times, and those aren't even low profile.
Right, he should PM instead, although as a new user, maybe his privileges are not there yet.I would advise you not to give out personal contact information on an open forum.
I have a couple of the rear ones laying around in my garage. Wonder if the front and rear are the same.Btw Just got confirmation that it was not a control arm, it was the upper camber arm that broke, repair cost estimates at $4365.35. No other part were damage other than tha broken camber
As I stated no object were ever hit before the part gave away and the white marking under the car were cause by those Safety Dots.
Is there a way to delete the posts. It said my privileges were limited. I was just trying to help out alexml500. I appreciate your advice.
I appreciate your advice
Both wheel had white marking on them I Believe. I am going to try to go back to tesla Monday when the insurance adjuster are there to take more picture
BTW I have Attached 2 picture for the actual location. From these 2 you can picture yourself coming toward the dot and trying to come to a stop with no functional brake

I googled a bit. The most common type are 4" x 4" x 0.75". But there are jumbo sized 8" x 8" x 2.75"I have to wonder about the liability of whoever installed objects in the roadway which could cause such damage at legal speeds.
Unfortunately, I'm starting to agree with this. Seems this particular part has been failing on a lot of cars recently, and Keef might have been onto something.
