For the second time I have had the tesla lugnuts lose there shape and cannot get a socket to fit on them or the socket just spins around the lugnut
The first time last year tesla was rotating our tires and had to replace every single lugnut. Yesterday I had 2 tires replaced from the usual inside wear, and today went to check them and cannot get the socket on half of them to check the torque. Went to the tire shop and they agreed. They said for me to get some from tesla and they will reimburse me, but also mentioned the tesla lugnuts ahve a soft sleeve over them that is easily damaged and warped from applying the 129 ftlbs of torque.
Has anyone had this same thing happen? Have you found any that work and match the wheels ( silver turbine)? Or is the tire shop maybe using more than 129 ftlbs of torque? I have used them many times and didn't have this problem before.
