This Hurts!

Send the bill to the body responsible for maintaining the road.

Sidewall matters, even on road! Sorry this happened to you. This kind of thing is death for low profile tires

I am filling a claim with the city on Monday!

This is one thing I miss about my truck, but not much else.

Have them check your rim. Looks like a rub, could be more damage.

The front definitely hit harder than the rear. Both had a mark. I am worried about the rims and suspension damage at this point. It was a very hard hit. The pic of the pothole does it no justice!

Sick burnout bro😎

FSD win, taking another toaster off the street

Why buy 4 tires?

Please post how that goes

We’re all a bit safer

Good question! This happened Friday at 4:15pm ish. I have AAA and I can contact Tesla, but one hitch the tires on this car are newer but cheap aftermarket bought from Walmart. I bought the car used and they were already on it. I had to make a decision about where to get the car towed on Friday evening?! lol I only have 29k miles so I have warranty until September on the car so I thought let’s go with Tesla in case something is wrong from the impact and I didn’t want 2 cheap tires and 2 Continentals. I don’t know. Did I make the right decision?

I wish that was it! Hahaha

Similar to the hit I took 18 months ago, one rim and two tires later, here I am. The only blessing, other then no additional damage, was the fact that I had 4k miles on the car so the tires were fairly fresh all around.

I hope it’s not a rim! Sucks man!

Experienced the same thing just a little over a month ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaFSD/comments/1qkq5ot/fsd_142x_runs_over_pothole_destroying_my_two/ What I ended up doing rather than getting it towed was this: - Left it parked on the street overnight - Set up an appointment with Tesla Mobile Service just to replace the front tire (because that one was clearly wrecked that night and I couldn't tell if the rear one was wrecked). - Then shopped online a bit for a better price on the rear tire (found 20% off buying the oem tire straight from goodyear.com), which came with free installation at a local installer. - Discovered what a pain in the ass it is to get an alignment done (properly) on the Model 3 (Model Y is similar). - I bought after market adjustable rear toe and rear camber arms and took it to a performance oriented auto shop to install and do the alignment. Now I can get an alignment done anywhere other than the front camber and front caster. Outside of the cost of the arms, this only cost me slightly more in total ($320 for the install + alignment altogether) than getting an alignment done at Tesla ($275).

Warranty doesn't cover outside influence only manufacturer defects.

They won’t pay squat. This literally happened to me in October where a new pothole opened on I-5

That’s what I was afraid of…

I kinda figured this but I’m going to try at least. The potholes have gotten really bad here this year. It is insane. It doesn’t matter if you are using FSD or HW3 or HW4 or driving an ICE car they are almost unavoidable in traffic. You have to remember where they are and stay out of those lanes on the interstate.

A lot of potholes in my state because of the snow plow.

Why didn't FSD see the pothole and apply brakes?

There were cars all around me, including one on my bumper. I am not sure what it would have done if it did see it. But, HW3 doesn't do very well with seeing objects in the road.

This hurts me just watching it. I feel this so much...
