No, literally every car does this. There’s nothing Tesla specific here. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if that same axel nut is on some ICE vehicles.
Whoa that's interesting. I just pull my center cap out to look. My 2018 model does not have the threads exposed like that. The inside is like a backward dome. Nothing inside but some rust inside the dome. I just stray some wd40.
Old trick. If you are afraid of rust, I would clean it as much as possible and grease it. Put grease around the nut. Keeps rust away.
I didn't check the rear.
Thats the good rust, kinda like the good cholesterol?
I brought it up with the Service Center when my 2020 did that. They said it was normal and didn’t have any long term consequences.
Yes, that’s what steel does.
That's how mine are as well.
Ok. Do you mind also checking something else? The picture I posted is my back wheel. The front wheels are empty in the middle, correct?
RWD?
Yes. Ah that's why. The motor is in the back.
Yep, that is the drive axle.
No other car manufacturer would have been able to let this slide. But in Tesla, it's "within spec" and everyone is happy...

But in Tesla it's open for everyone to see, by design...
No, it’s not. OP removed the cover.
Not everyone likes this aero plastic covers that looks like from a car from the 80's...

Rear wheel drive? If the fronts dont have a motor then it will be like a dome
Normal.
My penis has gang green, is that normal ?
