One of the tires (18" rims) on my car is losing air pressure. I've had the car since mid-November, i first had a TPMS pop up in Jan or Feb, thought strange, but filled it up and went on with my life. I haven't really been driving it recently, maybe a few miles once a week since early March. Well the tire was down to 35psi yesterday. Checked this morning it's down to 33psi.
Since the car has a whole 3,200 miles, normally (non-Tesla) I would go back to the dealership, see what they say. I filled out a Service appointment this morning (My first one), and it's asking me to approve the estimate of almost $450. It says if it's a warranty item I will not be charged, but I'm guessing Tesla will say OEM tires don't have a warranty. Would I be better off taking it to a local tire shop like Discount Tire and seeing what they say about it first? Has anyone had tire issues this soon, and if so did Tesla do anything to fix/replace at a discount?
