I was aware, I took precautions and it still happened to me :(

Doesn’t look like curb rash to me, more like rock chip.

those look like chips from rocks or debris, not curb rash

Hey, chin up. I've done that with my long range. I hear the scrape and hopped out all mad. Could be worse, this could be touched up. But you're lucky, no gashes or anything.

Don’t dwell on it it’s not a big deal

Hmmm you may be right. Especially if OP doesn't remember making contact with a curb. Its normally pretty obvious 😆

What’s good kit to get this take care of. Is powder coating good option?

Happened to me on the second day of ownership. I was so mad! Haha

There is likely a tire and wheel repair shop near you that can fix it relatively cheap.

One thing that bothers me is it doesn't matter if you try your hardest to keep a vehicle in perfect condition; it's not going to happen. A little curb rash isn't going to make you car look worse than someone has there bumper removed or smashed in.

I want to put those little antenna things from the 80s on mine but all of my rims are already trashed (thanks tire rotations)

That is not from a curb.

its totalled. straight to junk yard.

This unfortunately is going to happen. But there are minimally invasive measures you can take to protect the rims. MagBak makes a rim guard, and so does Rimz on Amazon.

i have the same chip on the same wheel, it wasn’t from curb rash.

These rims are fragile.

It happened to me the first time i parked the car, idk feels like the wheels are way distant from what i think, the better way i think is to look at the screen and park.

That looks like a chip. You can just leave it as is or get a paint that has the same color to fill it. I personally would just leave it. This is why I have the Tesla wheel and tire plan on my M3P, if it ever had a curb rash or worse, Tesla would have to replace it.

the only way to keep your car as pristine, as possible, as we all want, is to not drive the damn thing, She is still gorgeous and fun AF to drive. have a liquid attitude adjuster and you'll be fine. cheers🥃

That's not curb rash step bro

Too high and too small to be a curb rash. You can do touch up on them and you should be all good. They are so tiny.

Is Tesla making the rims out of cake? Why does everything on this car chip so easily.

Same here lol At least we got it out of the way early

I just cover up my road rash with a paint pen

Just get some repair paint for it

Two of my wheels had rash when I got the car used. Not extreme but you don’t have to look hard to see it. It’s been a few months and I don’t think about it anymore.  It’s a car not a museum piece, ha.

Because then people pay Tesla $$$ to fix it.

Use the sensors. Pull into the area slowly to allow the cameras to get accurate measurements, and do not let the car icon make contact with the edges on the surrounding areas (walls, curbs, objects, etc).

Don't worry, you'll get more to match it in no time.;) As much as I love keeping my '25 LRAWD pristine, I've come to realize you can only do so much and it's impossible to keep it from getting messed up. As a daily driver, consider it more as a tool.

💯

That's nothing. My rims are completely trashed.

Quit driving on gravel roads, lol. J/k

It’s ok these are battle scars, can’t expect a car to be in showroom condition right. After two years you’ll probably not bother.

Obviously that's not kerb rash I don't think you know what curb rash is

Amateur. I curbed mine much worse on day 3.

Silver sharpie

Yeah.... no matter how cautious it happens to all of us. You will be on first name bases with refurbishe team

That’s from road debris. Kind of hard to avoid unless you only drive local roads at low speeds.

That’s why touch-up paint was invented.

After some touch up paint and a tire rotation you won't even remember which rim it was. After all, that's what happened to me after my first chip. Now I have wheel covers that extend past the rim, but not sure if you have that option.

Any painted surface on the car is fragile. I find a new chip every time I wash it. And cover them up and more appear.

You’ll be ok

The tires don't stick out on the sides, which helps gas cars protect their rims. Unfortunately, ev tires are made to not bow out on the sides, which means if you so much as lightly brush a curb, it's all wheel and no tire.

Welcome to the club ❤️ I got a 2 buck black pen and I swear you can't notice a thing unless you look really up close. (2021 m3p uberturbines)

The wheels on my ‘24 M3P are still pristine, but this stuff worked very well to touch up the wheels on my ‘18 LRRWD. They look about the same color: https://a.co/d/29HM0XU

Yeah that's what I think it is too

We did it to ours like the second day

Welcome to the club. The only person who will see it is you. And it will bother you.

I never hit any curbs and definitely have a few rock chips. Learned to live with having a bottle of touch up paint. I've had to touch up both of my cars over five years.

Bro its not a big deal. Just drive the damn thing

This is nothing. Let us know what your car looks like in a year from now… You’ll probably be crying with the rest of us. 😭

LMFAO

Rock

Do they fit the M3P rims?

I did it on back to back days and I’ve never had curb rash on my previous cars before 🥲

Like taking out a motorcycle for the first time. Drive into the nearest parking lot, drop it on one side, then the other. Then drive away knowing you need not worry about pristine. The rock chips will happen.

If you have 20s, then your only option is Rimz.

This doesn't look like curb rash. Either rock chips or someone/something nicked your wheel in passing while parked. There would be a "grain" or rash lines on a curb rash and very difficult to happen to such a small location on a tire when the tire is rotating.

That’s not curb rash

I think you were maybe trying to be too careful making you overcorrect? I gotta be honest, I’ve never understood how someone could do this. I’ve had two Teslas and driven thousands more because I worked at Tesla and this has never happened to me. (Knock on wood)

Happens to everyone sooner or later don't feel bad.

Lol it’s a car wheel brother

I have a 21 model y and I did the same thing and I went on TEMU app. and bought 4 new hup caps for $15 apiece and have 19" wheels and they look great they are all black

This isn’t that bad. I’d keep driving it and if it gets worse find a rim refinished in your area. That’s normal wear and tear unfortuniatley.

This is going to be a 5% decrease in mileage.

It was the liquid attitude adjuster that caused this 😜 /jk

Between that and the front lower bumper, it’s so damn easy to to do…..

I mean look at the plastic pieces. Definitely rubbed up against something

Zink wheels repair kit....cheap and easy!

It’s a Tesla, not a Bugatti. Keep it clean and don’t obsess. 🍻

Same here. Prior to that was 6 cars ago when I was first learning to drive. Now I don't care. The paint on the hood is all chipped from highway driving. I don't drive behind leaking dump trucks ect. I accept that normal wear and tear on a Tesla looks like paint chips and rim rash, at least with the 20".

If you didn’t feel it in your soul, it’s not curb rash

100% always that sinking feeling 😂

Dude you look wrong at these cars and they get damaged
