Epic Fail! - Cyberbeast - Tires shot at 6251 miles!!!

[Crissa]

I got nothing to lose, let them check all the logs they want and they should be able to confirm what I am stating. The only question remains; will they come clean or just give me the run around... something like, well there is a reason we don't warranty tires; we don't control the product. We shall see.

Who knows?

You'll need to find someone who can actually do that, and someone who believes you because Tesla has attracted some pretty dishonest sorts in the past (like the guy who broke his car putting tracks on it, and tried to get it warranty repaired!)

Good luck ^-^

Exactly! Ask them to check the logs as they’ve access to it. Will they come clean? That’s at the discretion of the SC manager. I know for sure that they go through the vehicle data before coming to a conclusion.

Thank you for the post. I remember when I first got my truck, it said these tires were rated at 6000 miles. I think they are just made of softer rubber. Anyway, I went and looked up some new tires at a discount, and I can get all four replaced with a high mileage rating for $1800, which is the same price as the F150 I just replaced.

The electric motors produce tremendous of torque. Check out the beefy half shafts next time you peek under the truck.

Hi, do you have a Beast? Also, which replacement tires did you get?

Where do we buy the OEM tires? Any retailers besides Tesla?

The AWD comes with S rated tires because the top speed is 112 mph. That is a less sticker compound. My gripe is the H speed rated tires developed specifically for the truck... that is shitty milage.

That depends on how you drive. Care to share you trip data and kWh usage? It’s pretty entitled to think that you can burn through a third party consumable and expect the manufacturer to provide a “ warranty “

As a data point, my tires on Cyberbeast at 6,246mi are at 9-10/32 rear, 8-9/32 front. No rotation (yet). Driven ~400 miles on gravel roads/offroad. Maybe 30 launches since new.

Lifetime efficiency 420 Wh/mi.

I'm not expecting these to last more than 25-30K tops. Next set will definitely be something with a mileage warranty. But if you drive aggressively and don't keep them rotated & balanced, don't expect the warranty to be honored.

My Porsche 911 4S needs tire replacement every 10K miles ( rear ones), same thing with my BMW M5 competition. I drive them the way they’re supposed to be driven. I drive the CT AWD like any other vehicle. The only thing I focus on is one pedal driving but sometimes braking is inevitable. I always like to test the corners to see how CT is handling, not all the time though. Disciplined driving kicks in for long trips only. My tires are looking great so far at 6700 miles.

In yours and OP case, it could be a manufacturing defect but unless more people come up with this issue, Tesla will not entertain this!

Yeah... that's what I am afraid of.. let's see what happens on 10/1.

Here is some data for you (and some opinions).

I have 4 Tesla vehicles at the moment and have had 3 others for a total of 7.

Tires are a "consumable" on Teslas especially if you only drive with the accelerator and use heavy regen. Brakes last forever.

After reading this post, I went to my local tire shop today and asked the owner about the tires on my CyberBeast.

I took delivery on March 25 and have 6,946 miles.

The tread depth on the front is 10 and the back is 9. I do my best to keep my cold tire pressure at 50 psi.

I like acceleration and tend to put my foot into it on freeway on-ramps and hit 3 digits before chilling to 75ish.

On July 2, I went on a 17 day road trip to Canada with my wife, son and daughter. From leaving the driveway to returning, it was 4,354 miles.

During the trip, we drove to the Arctic/Atlantic continental divide in Alberta past Cadomin, Alberta. This gave us some serious high speed off road driving where we tested Baja mode. Two days later we did more gravel roads east of Edmonton. It was super dusty.

Heading south from Alberta, with only my wife and I, we crossed the border and drove through Montana, Idaho and Nevada, before going through Lake Tahoe on our way home.

The speed limit in Montana, Idaho and Nevada is 80 mph and I had the cruise set at 90 because it wouldn't go higher. We tested the max speed twice and could only get 114 as it was limited at that time.

The tire shop rotated our tires at 6,270 miles for $40. It was their first Cybertruck.

The tire shop owner explained Uniform Tire Quality Grading and then I read the extensive information in the Cybertruck owners manual. I encourage everyone to do so.

Again, my tread depth is 10 at the front and 9 at the back. And you have a good overview of my driving to date, including acceleration, freeway driving and gravel roads.

YMMV

That's what I would expect on a $130K truck. The question is how to get TESLA to admit, the set they put on mine is bad.

Mine I believe is very similar to yours, let me check what it is and post here.

I will post my data... no issues. Currently out of town so will do that when I am back on Sunday. There are plenty of people posting here who are stating they are driving significantly more aggressively than me and their tires are doing fine. When I chatted with TESLA service, they mentioned maybe the wheel alignment is off and have scheduled that for my 10/1 service call. The question then becomes; if it was wheel alignment that was the cause and they delivered the truck with that mis-alignment which caused this issue... will they do the alignment for free and cough up a new set of tires?

Everyone has them. I am getting my new tires from Discount Tires.

Didn't show up on the search for some reason.

They had quite a few options including the OEM ones. I selected a 3 peak snow rated tire since we are now going to go into winter months and it does snow in Colorado. When the spring thaw hits; I may get a different rated set to put on for summer.
