Hi all,
Traveling back home late tonight I pulled up to a stop sign and the dash warned me of low tire pressure, then almost immediately by please pull off safely.
I did so and noted a 3/4 wide chunk out of my right rear 21" staggered Perf tire on my p85d:
Tesla roadside service (Fernando) was awesome. Although past 1am, got me sorted pretty quickly: car to local SC and Uber for me to home. Very happy with the service and will mail TM to reinforce this.
Normally, I'd just write this off to bad luck, though a few things strike me as strange with the tire though:
1) I was traveling 45-50 mph for about 4 miles before the warning. There was no bangs, bumps or obvious road junk.
2) There was no noise of a significant depressurization
3) these tires have ~500 miles on them and were swapped with winter tires < 2 weeks ago
4) the damage is massive and unusual - I've never seen something like this before and I've had a few punctures ;-)
what at do you all think?
Thanks, Mike
