Missing but.

Went to wash the 2024 SR with about 4500km on it. Found that I'm missing a lug nut on right front. Shame on me I guess for not making sure my brand new car's wheel nuts were torqued properly.

I just found several front lugs lose when I was rotating them.
Check your nuts people!

Doesn’t look like any damage from the lug nut coming loose. Good reminder to occasionally check the tightness of the lug nuts.

Do you have locking lug nuts? If so perhaps obviously that one wasn't properly torqued. Not a fan of them in the first place.

Count your blessing that it didn't damage your rocker panel.
I know of a couple incidents where 'leave-in' jacking pucks have become dislodged and knocked chucks out of rockers.
