Good point

To be fair the tyre blew out at approx 70mph on an extremely busy motorway, during rush hour. Control did change but we were able to get across 3 lanes onto the hard shoulder, without causing an accident. So, in answer to your question I would say it may have helped. But, that said I guess we...

Yessuz don’t be silly I do know that You haven’t been keeping up with the threads. My Tesla can only advise if low pressure/flat tyre I swear you just enjoy the sound of your own voice, which is a condescending voice, there is no need for rudeness, was you not taught to discuss without...

Yes ….. Tesla gave it the all clear. It just needs to be clean up ascetically

Quote “At least it has made it more entertaining than it could have been 😀.” Glad to have been entertained 😂😉 Thanks for the YouTube 😬😬😬😬

I’m out tonight… going to take the Tesla, I won’t be driving and we are taking the motorway … 🙏🙏🙏

Many thanks for your reply … gratefully received

A Tesla is not able to advise of a blow out only a flat tyre. So you will receive “flat tyre” notification if you have a flat, low pressure or a blow out.

I am a newbie to Tesla and as such a newbie on here. I started this yesterday morning with: “My Tesla model 3, age 7 months, had a front passenger-side tyre blow out on M25 last night. We were travelling in the fast lane, it was very busy and very rainy, dark November night. We were...

Jumping on me?? Not too sure about that? We are all imputing and discussing, with a few that think they’re funny •The tyre did fail, for whatever reason •If the tyre had a slow puncture the car would have alerted me to low pressure, which it did not. The car went straight into Flat tyre...

Oh please…. Now listen carefully The car does alert you when you are losing pressure from your tyres. I did not receive any notification that the front tyre was losing pressure. And! Tesla have confirmed this. What Tesla read when they diagnosed the issue is that the tyre blew in one blast...

GORT you’re silly. 😂😂

Well you was only “kind of” nothing like a definite reply 😉

Thank you for your reply

Thank you for your reply it is much appreciated. I have noted all your points and I shall follow your advice Thank you once again as I do appreciate it

All I said was “I get it”🤔🤔 I haven’t agreed 😂

Oh you are funny dear 😂😂😂 Funny thing is I do have an original Troll which was bought for me in the Sixties when I was a little girl. I wonder if there’s a connection 🤔😂

You need another site for your problem ...... AA

Indeed

Yes I get that Am I over sensitive ….? It could be that I find it unnecessary? We all have a common interest on this site, which is, we own a Tesla or we love them. There is no need for anyone to hide behind a keyboard and be horrible, in todays world have we learnt nothing about just being...

I stand corrected it’s my age…. in the old days we called it the fast lane…. You know what I meant, an open mind is needed here, don’t you think? Rather than condescending/patronising attitude, it’s not necessary.

Thank you Cardo, you read what you read and you analysis it how best suits you I have learnt a lot from this thread and my experience. I will share this recently received message from a Tesla owner “Pirellis are spec’d undersized for the M3P by Tesla for appearance so they’re stretched to...

Yes, you are so right! And that’s why I needed to share my experience of what happened. Those Karen’s on this thread that were instantly negative need to remember we must share, whether it’s good or bad Even I have learnt through this thread and that I am grateful for 🤷‍♀️

Yes maybe…. But we were travelling on a busy motorway (M25 one of the busiest in the UK) there were many many cars in front and we didn’t feel that we had hit anything We will never know why or what caused it to blow

Right Steve …. My post was in reply to others who have advised I had a flat tyre 🥴 which I did not But thanks for your comments and I know you are right, I’ve been driving for 44 years, so yes I need to get over it and get back behind the wheel ….. don’t say I didn’t warn you 😀

The car did not alert us there was a problem and Tesla have confirmed that the blow out was instant and that the car did not alert us before the blow out 🤷‍♀️

Your experience was very different from mine. But thank you for sharing.

All I know is , I’m here to live another day. Let’s pray that experience will not be repeated 🙏

I guess I assumed the Tesla would have alerted us to a problem which it didn’t until my husband had to work to handle the steering and I saw the screen advised a flat. Once on the hard shoulder we looked, it clearly was not a flat but a complete blow out You’re so right about the state of a lot...

I don’t know weather you are congratulating me or not ?? 🤷‍♀️

The whole experience has certainly taken the shine off of driving my Tesla, I have trepidation, could be my age 61, but I’ve said my husband can drive it from now on Sad really….. because before Wednesday’s night drama I loved it

I’ll excuse the pun 😉

Clearly ….. it’s not a nice feeling

Good for you 😂

Maybe? ….. but, it was a bad experience that I don’t want to repeat thank you

Lol There’s always one and the other one our pickup guy collected from the motorway the day before us??? You never know ??

Glide I am in UK not USA

Obviously you can get it cheaper else where. But Tesla collected my car to investigate and took it to Heathrow, then would not release the car unless I bought the tyre ….

That is what is was charged by Tesla at Heathrow…. I lie not

They chucked in an “O Ring” FOC because there is a recall

For all your information One tyre from Tesla for Model 3 high performance is £346

Thank you good advice

Yes you are right…

Thank you for your comment ….. which are If you aren’t interested why even bother commenting….. sad

Tesla have said we can use it but it is damaged and will need to return to them. However, they subcontract the alloy repairs to another company so I’m going direct

What I have learnt is do not go to Tesla for new tyres, they charge way over, in my case £150.00 over

Thank you for your kind words and thank God that didn’t happen us or it would have been curtains for the car and us

Tyre was in perfect condition and car gave no indication of an issue

Thank you for sharing but as you can see my tyre was completely split all round and is on the scrap heap now. It travels are over

This is a possibility…. I don’t think we did but cannot be sure I guess
