Complaint
2013
STRUCTURE
THIS IS NOT SO MUCH A COMPLAINT AS IT IS A QUESTION. I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT PURCHASING A TESLA AND I SAW PICTURES OF THE RECENT ACCIDENT THAT SPARKED, LITERALLY, A FIRE -- APPARENTLY A FRONT END COLLISION. THE EXCUSE FROM TESLA WAS THAT A PIECE OF METAL PIERCED THE BATTERIES AND THAT WILL, AS I UNDERSTAND IT ACCORDING TO TESLA, CAUSE A FIRE. I BELIEVE THAT WHEN NHTSA CRASH TESTS THESE CARS, IT IS INTO CONCRETE. AS MOST CRASHES ARE METAL TO METAL, SHOULDN'T YOU TEST, ESPECIALLY THIS CAR, BY CRASHING IT INTO ANOTHER CAR? *TR

TIRES
I HAVE HAD A 3 MONTH OLD MODEL S. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS WHO HAVE SIGNIFICANT AND EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR IN THEIR CARS. I HAVE 4,000 MILES IN MY 4 DOOR SEDAN, AND WAS TOLD BY TESLA SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO PLAN ON REPLACING THE TIRES IN THE NEXT 1K MILES, DURING A RECENT SERVICE APPT TO FIX MY MOONROOF LEAK. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN RACED OR DRIVEN HARD TO CAUSE EARLY TIRE WEAR. WHEN I ASKED THEM TO SEE IF THEIR WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEY SAID TO EXPECT THIS AND THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THESE CARS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE EDMUNDS LONG TERM EVALUATION OF THE MODEL S, IT ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE AT 10K MILES, AND TESLA REPLACED THE TIRES FOR FREE. I HAVE ATTACHED THEIR POST ABOUT THEIR CAR. HTTP://WWW.EDMUNDS.COM/TESLA/MODEL-S/2013/LONG-TERM-ROAD-TEST/2013-TESLA-MODEL-S-TIRE-WEAR-POST-MORTEM.HTML THE MICHELIN TIRES ARE WARRANTED TO 20K MILES(ON MY CAR) ON THE PILOT PS2 TIRES. THE CONTINENTAL TIRES IN THE EDMUNDS CAR IS WARRANTED EVEN LONGER. IF YOU LOOK AT OTHER FORUMS/REVIEWS, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. EXCESSIVE EARLY TIRE WEAR CAN BE A HAZARD TO PEOPLE UNSUSPECTING THIS. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF EVEN CHECKING TO SEE IF I NEEDED NEW TIRES AT 4K MILES. IF I NEVER CHECKED, MY TIRES WILL SOON BE ON DRIVING ON THE BARE METAL TREADS WITH A POSSIBLE TIRE BLOWOUT. THIS CAN POSE A SERIOUS DANGER TO ANY UNSUSPECTING DRIVER. MAYBE WITH SOME PRODDING, TESLA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO WHY A FOUR DOOR PASSENGER CAR, HAS SUCH EXCESSIVE AND EARLY TIRE WEAR, AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE GET INTO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR
