Stereotypical Tesla driver
This guy was next to me at a light and blew my mind. Is it still called curb rash if a chunk of the rim is just gone? How the Hell does the tire stay seated?

I've seen large pieces of rim missing and tire still hold air.
If that was up north I'd call it pothole syndrome. |

That's not curb rash. That's a curb ulcer.

Ran up on a curb texting his man-bun wearing "partner" complaining that Bragg hasn't convicted Trump already while driving to the vegan grocery store as he is putting on eyeliner and drinking a Bud Lite - that about cover it ?

That's got to be pothole damage. I'm surprised the bead is still holding, especially considering how heavy the car must be. Hopefully the owner has plans to replace that wheel.

I think the tires are held onto the rim by electrical current, not bead settings / seatings?!?!?

Teslas don't need tires. They float around on a cloud of smug.

Apparently my son isn’t a typical Tesla driver. He’s not even vegan or anything.
It’s just a damn car. Stuff happens. |

I don't think that there is a stereotypical Tesla driver. Tesla uses wide wheels and the rubber of the tires doesn't stick out past the edge of the wheel causing more curb damage than on many other cars. I have successfully avoided curbs for 36k miles so far in mine.

That car has atlas tires, atlas are made in china, not original equipment, so was, as stated, probably replaced when damage occurred.
With that said, who the hell puts shit chinese tires on a great vehicle like a telsa?? |
