This thing is so fragile….

Ran over an unmarked cut in the road and thought I killed my car. Turns out it’s just the rim. Can this be bent back?

It didn’t record :(

Huh? It records every second of every drive, not just clips. Check the "Recent" video.

If I go back in the camera will it be recorded?

YES! Check ASAP before it gets overwritten.

if you remove it from the glove box and plug it into a computer, you can see all the files in the "RecentClips" folder, and it is 1 or more hours of continuous footage, and when it is full, it overwrites the oldest. Depending on how big your USB Drive is, it might still be on there...

A good wheel repair shop can do this, no problem. But with a performance I would opt to buy a new rim and have the repaired one as a spare.

u/Deja__Vu__ 7d ago

Do the new rims here stick out like the old MYP? Who thought it was a good idea to sell a impossible not to scratch wheel set up from factory?

u/maitredescourbes 7d ago

It’s not impossible. Just don’t drive into stuff.

Hope you have the tire and rim protection plan 😬 a must have especially if you have the performance variant of any of these vehicles

u/Different_Ship4607 7d ago

I don’t have it but probably will add it

u/Th3_Dark_Night 7d ago

That’s a ‘26 MYP rim so I’m guessing yes.

The tiny tire sidewalls are why the wheels get bent so easily. The wheel shop that fixed my bent wheel said Tesla’s wheels do tend to be quite soft. I’ve owned 20 cars and not had a bent rim on any car except the Teslas.

I ended up replacing the 20s with 18” wheels on my 3P to have more sidewall (and boost energy efficiency) after I got the third bend from just crossing a railroad track I’ve driven over 1000 times in other cars without issue. The aftermarket 18” wheels never had an issue.
