Hi folks, new to the group so forgive me if I am asking something that’s already been discussed. We have a model 3 performance with the 20 inch wheels, not the new model but the one with the chrome trim. I’m assuming this is the American built version. Long story short it’s burnt the front tyres off in 13k miles with incredibly uneven wear. Outside edge still has 4mm inside edge is through to the wires. Tyre pressures have been run at 44psi and checked regularly and we don’t drive this car like mad people as we usually carry 2 small children with us. The dealer has told me this is normal and as it’s a performance car I should expect this type of wear. I’ve had a good few performance cars in my life and never had this happen (Audi RS4, Jag F-Type, TTS and all were also 4 wheel drive). My neighbour has the exact same car as us, about 6 months older and he drives his ‘hard’ by his own admission. He’s done more miles and his front tyres are still at about 4mm with nice even wear. Am I being told some garbage by the dealer because I can not see how this is right? The tyre wear alone offsets any saving this car provides if I’m having to replace two tyres every 12k miles. I would appreciate if anyone has had this issue to let me know and did you get it fixed, by whom and how did you go about it as Tesla have said it’s in their limits and no other garage will touch the car. Thanks in advance and my apologies for the long post.
Pete.
