Tesla’s Uberturbine wheels are notorious for getting “Curb Rashes”

A tough update :
Finally, it happened after being careful for nearly a couple of years. Tesla’s Uberturbine wheels are notorious for getting “Curb Rashes”
In a hurry, I scrapped the “rear right wheel” some weeks ago but, it was a minor scratch so I didn’t bother.
Earlier in the week, I was driving back home and it was a 2-lane road a cop was driving at 100mph from the opposite side with his sirens on and as is practice, I moved to the right (no shoulder) in a hurry to give him the way and I didn’t realize there is a small curb along the 2-lane highway.
I had reduced my speed to maybe 20-30mph and scrapped along that curb.
The “Front Right Wheel” took the brunt of that maneavour. Damn, I was heartbroken to see the scratches.
Researched on the Internet and bought this $7 Matte Black Pen and did a first-round touch-up to the wheels. Now at a glance, the scratches on both wheels cannot be made out at all. Fantastic product.
It’s almost 95% invisible now but, I plan to touch it up one more time in a few weeks to bring it back to its original glory.
Gosh, I saved $300 for the 2 wheels as it would have cost me that much if I had got it done outside.

Magic Pen
Almost back to its formal glory.
