Like others said, paint is expensive AF, but also the classic "Slash 3 tires" is expensive
Extra expensive because Tesla's (Well, EVs in general I'm pretty sure) need special and more expensive tires due to the weight
My leaf uses normal tires.
Are tires usually covered by insurance?
My ex girlfriend had everything insured on her car. Even tires. Kinda crazy if you ask me.
Only when all 4 are damaged, for reasons lol
Hence the "slash 3" rule lmao
I don’t believe this. And if it is the case I would just slash my 4th before make a claim. Stupid.
It’s not true, I worked at auto insurance companies.
There are cases where it is the case, but it’s rare.
Ah, but I thought the point of this thread was to keep the insurance pain building, so if we want higher premiums, should it be slash all 4 so they can claim it and wreck their rates?
Oh yea you're right lmao, def need to slash all 4 for that lolol
For legal reasons, this is a joke
I thought that you need to replace every tire on EV’s when you damage one.
It's general guidance for any vehicle, but it's not a requirement
It's just for proper wear leveling and balance for a smoother ride
Nope, that's only for all wheel drive cars with combustion engines
Don’t lose sight that you are committing a crime, you are destroying an innocent persons property, and you really have no excuses if caught by either the owner or the police
Nobody who's bought a Tesla in the past few years is "innocent."
Poor innocent demagogue* supporters :(.
*Back then
Surely some are un-soId.
