Due to a tracking issue I'm in the market for new front tyres for my Model 3. I called Costco earlier today to get a price on four CrossClimate 2's, and was told that Tesla has recently issued a directive that prohibits them from fitting anything that isn't T0. This was confirmed by two people, and they have said they would need a letter from Tesla UK before they could proceed (but were otherwise happy to do it).
Unfortunately as Michelin don't have a CrossClimate T0 the only option they could actually fit immediately is the Pilot Sport T0 version.
I know there's a number of folk here that have CrossClimate's fitted to their Model 3, but I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this directive? Perhaps @Will Fealey has heard something on the TOC grapevine?
Edited to add: I have emailed my local service centre with the following questions:

Edited to add: I have emailed my local service centre with the following questions:
- Can you confirm the existence of such a T0 tyre directive?
- If so, can you explain the reasons for it and why all-weather & winter tyres are being prohibited? Please also provide a copy.
- If not, please provide a formal letter stating that CrossClimate tyres may be fitted.
