Nope, I suspect not. The vast majority of people just buy a new tire and are rather unaware of the tire safety defect.
I would guess that far less than 10% of MS owners have ever seen this thread, but there's really no way to know--all we have is proxy information--the 21" Michelin tires remain on nationwide backorder for months at a time.
We're having both of our rear tires replaced on one of our MS Plaids (the one with 21" wheels; the 19" Pirelli tire Plaid has zero issues) after about many months of waiting for new tires, in our case for unexplained tire pressure loss (2 to 3 psi per week) and the "lathing" issue on the inner sidewall, on both rear tires (the right rear being worse, like others here).
Alignment was checked at the Tesla Service Center and was exactly on spec according to Tesla. Hope that Tesla and Michelin get to the bottom of this before someone gets hurt or killed, or does history have to repeat? Eventually Plaids will be on the second and third owners, someone will do a "demo" of the high-speed performance of a Plaid, not knowing that their inner sidewall is torn, leading to catastrophic results. Here's an example of just how complicated (and unsafe) tire issues can become when action isn't taken

The
Firestone and Ford tire controversy of the 1990s saw hundreds of people die in automobile crashes caused by the failure of
Firestone tires installed on light trucks made by
Ford Motor Company.
Unusually high failure rates of P235/75R15 ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness AT tires installed on the first-generation
Ford Explorer and similar vehicles caused crashes that killed 238 people and injured around 500 others in the United States alone; more died in other countries.
The revelations halved the market value of Bridgestone, which fired or accepted the resignation of several executives and closed the
Decatur, Illinois, factory where the tires were manufactured.
[1] Ford also fired or accepted the resignation of executives. Each company publicly blamed the other for the defects, a disagreement that ended the companies' nearly 100-year relationship.

Congressional inquiry into the scandal led to the enactment of the
Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act in October 2000.
