This is the second time that a wheel becomes "lopsided" and no longer perpendicular to the axle. On 4/13/22 I was driving to work and suddenly I heard noises coming from the back wheel and I felt the car dragging. I found that the passenger rear tire was lopsided and almost falling out of the car. Then this year on 2/4/23 as I was going to work I found the driver rear tire also lopsided. Both times I had to pay for towing and $4000+ get the tire back on securely mounted to the axle. Both times the rear upper control arms - forward and rearward - need to be replaced. Last time we took it to a local repair shop, this time we took it to Tesla. This time, the following parts also needed to be replaced: rear upper link suspension assembly halfshaft - rear drive unit - lh suspension - rear upper - lh toe link assembly - rear - lh integral link - rear - lh drop link - sway bar - rear - lh spring and damper assembly - rear - lh this is a unsafe car to drive - I understand that it's a low car and there are pot holes on nyc streets. But this car is still unreliable if it happens within 12 months that I cannot get to where I need to go because the car is undrivable.
