Hi!
I was doing my daily visual inspection of my brand new Tesla and on Saturday night I found out I have a large screw in my tire! Not even 70mi on those tires. It went in fully.
Called roadside assistance, sent me a tow truck and installed a tesla loaner wheel same size and tire.
Now tesla advisor said after inspecting the tire that it needs to be replaced, "the damage was done on the outer side of the tire".
I got a shock when he said it'll cost #356.40 for a new tire! Wow, that's a lot of money. Those tires have acoustic and green stuff aka low rolling resistance.
Tire racks sell them for $275 with shipping it's $12, then install and balancing would be another $25 maybe.
Thoughts? And does it need to get wheel alignment as wheel? Tesla said they could do wheel alignment at no cost..
Thanks!
