Cracked a Tesla Alloy? Here's How We Fix It in Slough
Tesla wheel replacement costs are brutal. A genuine 21 inch Arachnid for a Model S is over a fair amount a corner once you include the centre cap and TPMS. A 20 inch Induction for the Model Y is not far behind. Hit a Slough pothole, crack the inside rim, and Tesla service centres will quote you a new wheel as a matter of course. They will not weld it. We will, at our SL3 7EW workshop.
Tesla wheels are aluminium alloy just like every other car. The metallurgy is no different. The crack repairs the same way, the pressure test confirms the same result, and the refinish puts the factory look back. The only thing different about a Tesla wheel job is the bill at the end, and ours is a fraction of Tesla's. After welding we run the wheel through full Tesla alloy refurb - Induction and Überturbine faces are diamond-cut, so it goes on the lathe.
Tesla wheels we weld most often at our Slough workshop
- Model S 21" Arachnid. the iconic one. Cracks easily on the inside rim. We weld and refinish to factory spec.
- Model S 19" / 21" Sonic Carbon Slipstream / Twin Turbine. common pothole victims. Standard TIG weld repair.
- Model 3 Performance 20" Uberturbine. low profile, crack-prone, very expensive to replace. We do these weekly.
- Model 3 / Y 19" Sport (Gemini). the wheel under the aero cover. Cracks the same as any other. We fix them.
- Model Y 20" / 21" Induction / Überturbine. the bigger Model Y wheels are real pothole magnets in Slough and Windsor.
- Model X 22" Slough Car Servicing Black / Turbine. the heaviest Tesla, biggest wheels, hardest hits. We weld them properly.
Why Tesla wheels crack so often around Slough
Tesla wheels are designed for aerodynamic efficiency and range, not pothole survival. The Model S Arachnid, Model 3 Uberturbine and Model Y Induction all run very thin spoke sections and minimal rim flange thickness to reduce weight and drag. That is great for the range figure on the screen and bad for the rim when you hit a sharp pothole on the A4 at 50mph.
Add the weight of a Tesla, around 2.1 tonnes for a Model S Plaid, and the energy going into the rim flange on a sharp pothole strike is significant. We see Tesla wheels in our Slough workshop with classic inside-rim hairline cracks almost every week, and almost every one is a standard TIG weld repair job.
The repair process for a Tesla wheel
Wheel off, tyre off, TPMS sensor safely removed. Wheel washed and dye tested to map every crack, not just the obvious one. The crack is V-ground out to clean aluminium with stop-drills at each end. The wheel is preheated, TIG welded with the correct filler for the alloy spec, then cooled slowly under a heat blanket so contraction stresses do not open a new crack.
Pressure test in a water tank to confirm it holds air. Refinish to match the factory spec, whether that is satin black, gloss black, silver or two-tone diamond cut. TPMS sensor refitted with a new service kit, tyre refitted, balanced, and back on the car. Most Tesla customers in Slough have their car back inside 48 hours. The repair is invisible.
