User reports rim damaged after pothole with FSD; replacement cost $512
Unconfirmed: A Reddit user says FSD drove over a very large pothole and damaged the rim. According to their account, the replacement of the '21' rim was done at Discount Tire for a total cost of $512, and the tire was saved. The post includes two photos: the dented interior of the rim and the new rim. The author notes it was not their worst curb-scrape rim. The post includes no telemetry data, no video of the event, and no confirmation from Tesla about FSD's behavior at that moment.
- According to the user, the rim replacement cost $512 in total.
- The tire was saved; the reported damage is to the rim, according to the post's photos.
🔎 Why it matters: No official confirmation: the post attributes to FSD driving over a large pothole and damaging a '21' rim, with no telemetry or video to verify it.
📈 Upside: According to the user, the tire was saved, so only the rim had to be replaced.
📉 Risk: The account rests solely on the author: there is no record of the event that would allow verifying that FSD drove over the pothole.
