Good point! This is one of the reasons why I always go with replacement tires without the foam insert. 2nd, they're cheaper too.Had the foam In one of my tires become detached. Caused a wicked shudder. Have them check it.

I'm pretty sure he exceeded the flap speed limits.As Uncle Paul noted, wheel balance is the most likely culprit. It's very possible a balance weight came free at some point - probably as you were approaching escape velocity...
Took a ride with the service manager. Agreed on shudder and possible linkage to foam detach. Friday they’ll break down the tires and see if we can fix. I assume yours was covered under tire warranty (seems like a defect, right?)Had the foam In one of my tires become detached. Caused a wicked shudder. Have them check it.

Good deal. Will report back.Mine was...the service center says they go after the tire manufacturer for cost of replacement
Speeding fines need to be painful to be effective.Been there, done that. Got the ticket, and court appearance!
Good advice. Can you describe your experience with road noise increase. I heard the foam purpose is to reduce road noise.Good point! This is one of the reasons why I always go with replacement tires without the foam insert. 2nd, they're cheaper too.

Well this finally got me a comped tire. Vibration gone. Also about half a day of ubering and road side assistance and Tesla service working late and almost blaming me (“are you sure you didn’t hit something…”). But finally, new tire. No vibration. Onward.But it doesn't vibrate at high speed now right?...
Seriously, what's "the rest of the story....".... ?
Definitely a blow out (immediate deflation at speed) and no idea what caused it. They sort of just waved it off and gave me a new tire.DArkstarY: Sorry, the story is still incomplete.
What caused the follow-up blowout? The photo you posted doesn't show a "blow out", just a delated tire. Was it blown out on the inside?
I don't understand how removing tire/re-gluing foam could cause a deflation, UNLESS they didn't seat the bead properly. That's my guess.
This is the internet! Widespread means more than 2 people experienced it!Doubtful that it's "widespread." There may be occasional QC issues, but IF it were widespread, we would be reading about it.
