    They make everything using cast aluminium at Tesla. One of worst types of alloys where you expect durability as it’s terrible with metal fatigue. It tends to snap instead of bend.

      Afaik most aluminum rims are cast (only some of the really nice ones are forged). I’m more inclined to assume that Tesla is just shitty at casting aluminum.
