REPLACING THE MODEL X PLAID TIRES

EV Channels Review

The video details the unfortunate experience of a sidewall tire damage on a Tesla Model X Plaid due to a pothole, necessitating a replacement. The reviewer highlights that while Tesla service quoted $450 per tire, a reputable independent tire shop, America's Tires, provided a more cost-effective solution at $334 per tire, plus mounting and balancing fees. A key takeaway is that Tesla owners are not restricted to dealership service for tire replacements and can save money by visiting other tire shops. The reviewer also notes the presence of foam inside the tires for noise reduction, which can be omitted to potentially save costs. The video also touches upon the importance of enabling 'Jack Mode' for vehicles with air suspension and the ongoing issue of road damage from recent heavy rains, encouraging viewers to be cautious and report potholes.
