Well, after about 800 miles, I would have to say I am very happy with the Michelin Defender. They’re quiet and smooth, too soon to have an idea of their efficiency. I drive about 99% on the road with very little off-roading. But the looks of the Defender are more aggressive than other all-season...
I can tell you with my very limited use that they're quieter than the OEM AT. Foam making the tires quieter is barely noticeable based on my past experience with my Model 3.
Well, it’s done! American's Tires did a great job and was in and out in about 35 minutes. Too soon to really have an idea of the differences, but they seemed quieter on the freeway.
Well, after almost 27k miles, it’s time to replace the tires. I might have been able to get another 3k out of OEM tires, but I thought I should just pull the trigger. The Michelin's will be installed on Wednesday. I am looking forward to seeing and hearing the difference compared to the OEM AT.
Congratulations on ordering a Scout! But for me, the CT will be the last time ordering a first year model. It hurts a little everytime Tesla offer incentives to purchase a new CT.
I have had an AWD for over a year with about 20k on it. I had both my inverters replaced, once on failure and once on recall. During the recall, Tesla replaced the inverter that failed about a month prior again. Right now, the CT has been running great, and I love driving it. I always think...
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! I am in California, so I rarely drive in the snow in my area. But we do get a fair amount of rain. I am currently at about 20K in miles on the OEM tires, so I have a little time. I am pretty sure my next set of tires will be the Michelin...
I have a little over 19,000 miles on the OEM and have an average of 408. I drive pretty chill most of the time and don't tow. I will need to change my tire around 25-30K and am thinking about getting the Michelin Defender LTX Platinum.
Tesla CS summarized what I wrote, but this is what was listed on the invoice. Concern: Customer states: Other · Exterior - Tonneau cover looks to be misaligned with a large gap that allows a large amount of water into the truck bed.
Just got my CT back from having the tonneua cover reworked. Still allows a small amount of water in from the top of the tonneau applique.
Here is a list of the parts replaced:

I am in California and currently don't have my license plate on. I have been debating if I should install it. It's not a big deal since Tesla made a spot for it, which can be installed and removed quickly.
