My back left tire was flat because it had a hole on the inside edge. I took the car to my mechanic. He said the hole was caused by excessive wear and not a puncture. I had all 4 tires replaced because the other tires also had excessive wear.
His summery was: “rear tires worn excessively on inside edge, inspected suspension and found both rear knuckles have play in upper spherical joint, recommend replacing both knuckles.”
He recommended I check with Tesla to see if they would replace the rear knuckles under warranty, but my warranty expired in December. Tesla said it would be $1400.00 to replace the knuckles and $275.00 for the alignment. I have read that Tesla has had issues with the knuckles on their cars. Has anyone been able to get them to replace them for free even though the warranty had expired?
