Tesla wheel problems

Owners have filed 317 complaints with NHTSA about the wheels on Tesla vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 5 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Tesla Model Y, worst in 2023.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
