I'm going to return the MY soon. Just had the inspection, and will be doing some repair. I'm surprised by a few things and am in need a few answers:
1. I was not surprised by the excessive wear on the wheel for curb rash ($85 each). I got a quote from Tesla center for wheel repair for $800+. So I should just return as is?
2. Two of my rear tires have "low thread and need replaced" by inspection. I have driven 16,000 miles in 3 years. Is this normal? How often should the tires be rotated? Is this the nature of EV and one-pedal driving, or a problem of MY design in general? I doubt I can fight this.
3. Can I just replace the two tires from a regular shop?
4. Will there be any surprise charge after I returned the car, i.e. Is the Lease-End Inspection final? I was surprised that the inspection missed a pretty obvious thing that I am going to fix anyway, but there might be others. It sounds like Tesla will automatically deduct the charge from my bank account, so how can I prevent that in case of dispute?
Thanks, first time, long time
