Just out of curiosity, a flat tire is a warranty item? Was it something wrong with the wheel or the tire? Never realized you could claim a flat tire as a warranty item, I would have just gone to a tire shop.

No, flats are not covered under my warranty as far as I know. Did I seem to say that?

I didn't mind not going to a tire shop... tire shops are not my idea of fun.

Oh ok, my bad then. Just would have never thought to call Tesla for something like that but glad it turned out ok in the end.

They have free road service for the first year (“free” means the coming and doing minor fixes part, I guess you still pay for non-warranty repairs) so calling them was an easy option. After the first year the cost is comparable to something like AAA except the mobile service person who comes out is trained on Teslas.
