Read the
specifications page on the tire at Tire Rack listing. It's right there in black and white. All you got to do is look. And by the way Sam and you should know this section width is not the same as tread width. If you look at the entire specification page for all the 235/35 tires, you will see that the Tesla spec tire has about 1/2 inch extra tread width compared to the other tires with that section width, and is listed (and measures!) at 8.8 in wide. That means it averages up close to the tread width but not the section width of several 255/35 tires and the tread is actually wider than any 245 / 35 Tire in that 4S group.
It's pretty clear that Tesla wanted a different tire for their electric vehicles, one with the lower rolling resistance of a tire with narrower section width, but one that would mitigate handling deficits that you would expect in a 4000 pound car with a 235 section width Tire. On top of that it's dual compound so the outer tread that does most of the work in cornering is probably a softer compound while a harder Compound on the crown prevents accelerated Crown wear from high inflation pressures.
