2019 Tesla Model 3 Tires & Wheels Problems

Continental 235/40/r19 This is what I sent to Consumer Affair website: My personal experience reflects exactly the same as the poor rating of this brand. Tire has separation at 32k miles on the Tesla 3. I first noticed a thumb thumb sound. I ignored but it got worse then the vibration inside cabin started to occur. I pulled the tire off and inspected. My God i have a tire separation with steel wire sticking out and a big hump. I got mad after i found out that Tesla wants nothing to do with it (heck they don't even a have no. to call for an expensive car, shame on you Tesla) and Continental does not have a warranty. Spending time searching for another tire to buy i find out it is expensive for EV tire. I was frustrated and angry that i have to deal with a defective tire with no warranty from Tesla and Continental for low miles (plenty of thread left on tire). I decided to call Continental. The experience was horrible with them hung up on me and a run around. They told me to take to Discount tire to have it inspect. Dt agreed tire is defective and expect me to pay $250 with pro rate covered by Continental. I already found the same tire for $225 so i tell D.t take a hike. I called Continental back and [XXX] broke loose. I got a lot of run around, hung up with the rep. then manager and they won't do the tire pro rate more than 30%. I got fed up with lot of cussing I went back to D.Tire and settled with another Continental tire that is cheaper. I was pushing my luck driving with the tire that will blow anytime. The [XXX] Tesla does not have a spare tire on an expensive car (shame on you Tesla). I had no choice to replace a tire out of my pocket of $150 for the same brand as that is the only one with similar thread pattern very reluctantly as I had NO other choice or take a risk driving and NO spare tire.

In November both rear tires shredded, while driving. The metal belts became exposed. Tesla replaced the tires, claimed there was no other problem. The tires had been appropriately pressurized during the entire life of the tires. Mileage 9800. Two months later one of the rear tires (new tire) sustained a nail in the side wall- non-repairable (the sidewall on a new tire should not be on the pavement, but the side), and now at 3000 miles on the new tire not replaced due to the nail- the tire is beginning to shred again. This is coupled with inordinate road noise since the tires were changed. I think the problem is the car being inadequately made, and the tires, that seem to be exposing the weak sidewall to the pavement. Neither company claims credit for their handiwork.

2019 TESLA 3. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND FLIPPED OVER.

I HAVE A 2019 TESLA MODEL 3 WITH PREMIUM WHEEL UPGRADE AND THE CONTINENTAL PRO CONTACT RX TIRES PUT ON BY TESLA ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. THE CAR HAS 7K SOME MILES ON IT AND THE TIRE BLEW OUT RANDOMLY. THERE WAS NO IMPACT/CRASH OF ANY KIND, WE WERE GOING APPROX 30 MILES PER HOUR ON A PAVED ROAD AND HEARD A LARGE BOOM. THEN ALMOST INSTANTLY OUR TPMS INDICATED EXTREMELY LOW TIRE PRESSURE PULL OVER NOW. WE HAD A BLOW OUT WITH THESE BASICALLY BRAND NEW TIRES, NO OTHER DAMAGE TO CAR SO THAT'S IT. COULD KILL SOMEONE IN THE WRONG CIRCUMSTANCE! *TR
