A Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says, “I Went to Tesla Service & The Receptionist Told Me I Need To Replace My Tires.” – He Adds, “I Have Only Had The Truck For 11 Months.”

Peter, a Cybertruck owner from California, says that just 11 months after buying his Cybertruck, Tesla told him he needed to replace his tires.

This is definitely not ideal, and the frustrated Cybertruck owner shared his story in the Cybertruck Owners Only group on Facebook.

Peter writes…

“I visited the Tesla service center in early November to get the cantrail replaced because of a recall notice for my Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive. The receptionist told me my tires needed replacing.”

Peter mentions that he was told his tire tread depth is already too low after only 11 months of ownership.

He continues to write…

“My tire depth measurement is 3-4/32 inches, but the tires are only 11 months old and have 14,000 miles on them.”

Peter states that his truck was equipped with the OEM Pirelli Scorpion all-season tires, which come standard with the Cybertruck.

Besides using the stock tires, Peter also notes that he has rotated the tires regularly and has never taken his vehicle off-road.

He continues to write…

“I also rotated the tires every 6,000 miles. I've never gone off-road and usually drive in chill mode, and the range was great (280Wh/mile).”

Finally, Peter asks whether other Cybertruck owners are experiencing similar early tire wear.

He writes…

“I'd like to ask everyone, are your tires also this short-lived?”

Below his post, Peter shared several pictures of his Cybertruck tires showing the worn-out tread after only 11 months.

As you can see, the tire's tread has worn down quite a bit, giving it a well-used look that is to be expected only after many years and tens of thousands of miles.

Having to spend more than a thousand dollars on new tires in less than a year is definitely frustrating; however, looking at the comments, fellow Cybertruck owners shared varied opinions.

Some Cybertruck owners agreed with Peter and mentioned they are also experiencing rapid tire wear.

A fellow Cybertruck owner, Cliff Richards, writes…

“I have 15,000 miles on my Pirelli Scorpions. Over half of them are gone on Pennsylvania roads, and they are wearing evenly but quickly. They won't reach 40k miles; I won't buy them again.”

Another owner, John Franklin Kennedy, says:

“Don’t expect much from the Pirelli Scorpion tires.”

A third owner, Dante Weston, writes…

“I have the same tires, and they're in the same condition as yours at 15,500 miles. Working on researching a new set.”

Another owner, Kurt Thomson, states…

“8,000 miles, and the tires are very worn. Replaced rear tires at $650 each—ripoff, but what’s the choice?”

Many Cybertruck owners seem to be experiencing early tire wear. Meanwhile, some blame Peter, suggesting that his driving style might be to blame, as their own tires last much longer.

Cybertruck owner Geebao Du says…

“20,000 miles at 50%. I don’t touch the brake pedal. You’re clearly taking corners too fast for a 7,000 lb vehicle.”

Edwin Berard adds…

“You're driving a truck with the weight of an eighteen-wheeler, duh!”

Yoh Ann comments…

“I'm at 66,000 miles on the original tires. There are still a few millimeters left before they hit the wear tabs. Just need to be cautious in the rain, as it tends to understeer now.”

Overall, Cybertruck owners seem to be experiencing wildly different tire life spans. However, please let me know what you think in the comments.
