Is the rear tread depth actually low?

If your sure you have enough tread depth than you can do the following:

go to Controls > Service > Wheel & Tire Configuration > Tires

here you can set summer/all season or winter tires but also staggered or non.

If you click on update tires it will learn your tire size and so the tread depth again and calibrates to the current status



tesla manual says:
If you are installing new wheels or swapping them for different ones, update your vehicle's wheel configuration by touching Controls > Service > Wheel & Tire Configuration > Wheels. This allows Model Yto learn the new wheels and provide more accurate status updates on your vehicle. Select a wheel from the drop down menu that matches the new wheels you plan to install on Model Y. Selecting new wheels in the wheel configuration also changes the wheels that appear on your vehicle's avatar on the touchscreen.

Ensure you are aware if your vehicle is equipped with staggered wheels, meaning the wheels are different sizes in the front and rear. Check the front and rear tire sizes marked on the tire sidewall to see if they match or are different sizes. If the wheels are staggered, take extra precaution to ensure the new wheels you install are staggered in the same way as the previous wheels.

So it doesn't actually mean that the tire has little/no tread. What it's trying saying is the tread between the front and back tires has a (I think) 3mm difference and needs rotating

Model y Performance have different size tires; Rear tires are much wider; Can’t be rotated

Thanks.

We got this warning a lot after the snow tires went on in mid March (we had to wait 6 weeks for the Hakka R5 EVs to arrive after buying a Tesla out of the blue in January after the price drop), it was only after the summer rubber went back on a few weeks ago that I learned about this. I'm sure the non-Tesla tire shop had no idea that this needed to be done, and of course neither did we at the time...

It’s not low, had it checked out and they are wearing evenly, still good for another 15K miles

Thanks to Tesla owners, who provide easy-to-find service tips.

We just had a flat tire. Our experience with Tesla was horrible. It turns out that Tesla only provides roadside assistance within 50 miles of a service center. We live in Tallahassee, which is 200 miles from the nearest service center. Their only option was to tow the car to Jacksonville, where they would repair or replace the tire at our expense -- all for just a friggin flat tire!

We had the car towed 3 miles to a local tire dealer at our expense and purchased a new tire. We thought all was well until the next day, when an error message appeared indicating that the wear on the rear tires was excessive. I figured out that the error message was prompted by Tesla's sensitive monitoring devices, one of which was triggered when the system noticed that, because the new tire was spinning more slowly than the other tires, which had about 8,500 miles of wear.

Once I figured out what caused the message, I searched and found out how to re-set the tire wear calibration, which solved the problem.

However, the bottom line is that Teslas are complicated to service and, good luck if service is required more than 50 miles from a service center.

This is our second Tesla. It's a great vehicle for many reasons, but, regrettable, serviceability is not one of them. For this reason, I'm in the market for an alternative.

I didn't even know Tesla provided roadside assistance. I've always been relying on AAA - this is the one thing I did not change when switching from gas cars to Teslas.

How bad was the damage on your flat tire that you had to buy a new one? We all know that most national tire companies are all about making money and selling tires even if it’s a simple flat that can be fixed.
