WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
I was driving out to Pittsburgh to drop my daughters off at school, and my rear driver-side tire rapidly went from 40 PSI to 20. I almost lost control of the vehicle at one point. It turns out my 9 month old Tesla Model Y performance had a cracked rim. I have had cars for almost 40 years and never had a cracked rim until now. Something is seriously wrong with the 21 inch rims Tesla is making for their model Y performance models. I was in the Tesla Dealer today and 2 other people had the exact same problem, and their is a ton of info online about Tesla cracked rims. I had to pay $1,018 for a new rim that was 9 months old. (So did the 2 other people today) Something seriously is wrong with Tesla Model Y Performance rims. Their manufacturing process clearly is flawed for this to be such a persistent problem.

Got a new battery for the car due to an accident I had back in Feb 2024. The battery lasted me up to August 2024 before I received an error saying that my car won’t charge any more and it’s at maximum charge. I took my car in and the Tesla service center explained there is no physical damage, and that it’s a mechanical issue
Additional Notes:

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
We have had numerous incidents of sudden and unexpected braking. Earlier this month while rounding a curve with adaptive cruise control enabled, the car aggressively braked when it saw an oncoming semi safely in the other lane. It was good there were no cars behind us or no doubt they would’ve rear-ended us. Last night - like so many other times the past year or so - I was pulling into a parking spot with a bush in front and, only a few feet in, the car slammed the brakes on even engaging ABS. Usually the warning system just makes a sound or gently applies this brakes but this was jarring. Everyone in the car lurched forward. The date below is from the incident related to the semi. That could have been very bad. My Subaru Outback uses sonar and I’ve never had these sorts of problems.
