Approved Wheel Repairs
Describes the approved wheel repairs allowed for Tesla-provided wheels.
Tesla does not approve the use of “reconditioned” wheels or chrome-plated original equipment wheels.
Tesla does not allow the following wheel repairs:
- Welding
- Crack repair
- Straightening
- Heating
- Bending
- Machining
- Chrome plating
Warning
These processes might negatively affect the physical structure of
the wheel and might cause sudden wheel failure and loss of vehicle control,
potentially resulting in injury or death.
Note
Wheel mounting surfaces, lug nut
contact surfaces, and pilot hole must be masked before refinishing to prevent paint
and clearcoat from being applied to these areas.
