Thanks Sean. Those are all "After" pics. About 2 weeks after bringing it to the Orlando area Tesla shop to fix the flat. I will show your email to Discount Tire and hopefully it helps.

Now THAT seems intentional. I love Mexican food too, but no burrito is worth a flat.

I have since capped all tires based on your advice.

I don't know if it's misinformation or not, I'm just reporting data I received from Tesla Roadside drivers as they towed my car. I've read it on other sites too. Your argument "Why dont all other Model Xs have this issue" is faulty logic, the same as saying, "If cigarettes can cause cancer, how...

Thanks! I never heard of this suspension issue you mentioned. Appreciate you letting me know.

Thank you. So many people here have recommended you that I will drive the 50 miles to see if you can help me resolve this issue. Wish you had something closer to Clearwater, Florida.

WOW! What a thorough response! I will try your suggestions and let you know what I find. Thank you.

I am the most non-mechanical person I know, so I probably won't explain this correctly, but a couple different Tesla Roadside drivers told me that the tires can't support the weight of the car, and causes undue stress, which leads to more chance of blowout, wear, etc. I totally understand the...

:-) I will never try to fix or plug it myself. Even if I knew how.

You just answered my question on PSI. 45. Thanks.

Appreciate your feedback. There was actually a construction site which I could conceivably see being the culprit. But after that, I re-routed to avoid this area. I will get an airpump as you suggest. What do you think is the ideal tire pressure? They set it at 50 psi when driving on this last...

Thanks for the suggestion!

Haha the lottery ticket made me smile. That's good to know about the foam. I had heard it made the ride more quiet. Attached find pics. First 2 are front and back driver side. Second 2 are front and back passenger side. I appreciate your interest.

Hmm...I've never checked for cracks in my rims or leaks in my valve stems. I'm not very technical but I'll bring this point up to the tire store when I visit. Thank you for your advice.

Thanks for the tip! I will check it out.

Thanks. I have Model X. 2020. I've detailed all my issues in other responses, but glad you're having good luck.

Thanks! Nearest one is 50 miles away.

Thanks for your reply. I am not a mechanic or a car expert so I may not be using the correct descriptors. 1. You are welcome to contact my St Pete Tesla Service center and Tampa service center and verify every one of my "Far Fetched" claims. If you're truly interested. 2. You are also...

Thanks for taking the time to reply: 1. By "Tesla Tire" I am referring to the Continental that they insist I buy in order to be eligible for their Roadside service. 2. I understand that it's easier to blame the driver or the terrain rather than the Tesla vehicle iitself. But after driving in...

Couple of them were punctures. Others were wear on the tires (so I get tire alignment every few weeks). Others just blew and the Tesla shop had no reason.

Seems like I should have bought a 2017 instead of 2020. Maybe I'd have better luck

Thanks. Discount Tires has been a popular answer.

Lol, both flats in your driveway, I experience the same thing with my Model X. I'm ultra careful driving, and I blamed myself at first. But after 6 flats, I know it's not me. As a manufacturer of high quality toys, I still have a small detective rate, and I dont blame it on the customer. Wish...

That's great. Thanks.

Wow, that's amazing only 1 flat. I have the 2020 model, sounds like you have an older model that maybe doesn't have the same issues I will check out Discount Tire.

I'll check it out. A Roadside Tech gave me the name of a place too.

I've been driving these same roads for over 20 years with maybe 2 or 3 flats total in different cars, mostly Toyotas. I drive carefully. I only started getting flats with Tesla (and I know from reading different threads that I'm far from the only one). I've had a couple of Tesla Roadside techs...

I've always used the Tesla Tires (Continental) but I'll try a new brand and get a warranty. Tesla gives no warranty. All 4 tires have blown. Usually a tire is flat after I leave the car in the garage, or park it somewhere. The Orlando Tesla shop could not even tell me why it was flat, as the...

HI, I'm in the Clearwater Florida area and I'm extremely frustrated and disappointed with my Model X flat tires. I have a 2020 Model X, and for the first couple years I only had one flat. Now I've had 6 flats in 7 months. Every time I replace a tire with Tesla it's another $500 each, plus...
