Surely, I am missing something.

My Model X came without a spare. OK, I guess, since tire changing in Tesla's world must be a breeze, and there's always a ranger nearby (hopefully).

So, after my first set of tires were replaced at 25,000 miles in July, I develop a slow leak in my right rear. I take it into my tire repair place, who find a nail. But, it turns out, if the sound-silencing barrier, which takes up most of the inner surface is punctured, the tire is toast. OK, so I call Tesla's emergency number (since its the only place I can find a person to talk to), and she tells me that Tesla does not warranty its tires.

So, $650 later, I'm asking - if this super high tech cool machine breaks down on a remote road somewhere, does a ranger arrive a day later, to find a nail in my tire and to sell me another $650 tire? Really? C'mon Elon ... is this a premium car solution?

Help!!
