Tesla pulls a fast one with Tires!

I shouldn’t touch this with a 10-foot pole, but as I make a living as a peacekeeper, I think @hemiarch accidentally looked over what specific part of the post @HaulingAss quoted. It made sense and he didn’t have any malice in saying what he did.

Edit: I see now it was already figured out. Glad we dodged that bullet, guys!

And yes, @TeslaKen, you got a sweet deal. Now I feel dumb buying the wheel and tire package lol

Thanks. That’s a very nice thing to say.

And I thought we were talking about DEI driven free rims and TPMS. A real comedy of errors.

Simple misunderstanding is all! I’m sure all will be forgiven. CT owners are too small of a community to turn on each other for little things like this. There’s too much outside hate to bring it to the inside. That’s what makes us better.

Like many here I had some extra Tesla store credits to burn from last year's Powershare install rebates. I wasn't sure what to do with my credits but finally decided to order a set of winter tires which came out to be about the same amount as my credit.
Those tires are listed here in the shop: https://shop.tesla.com/product/cybertruck-goodyear-duratrac-rt-tire
The ordering process makes you do it through the app so they can set up a service appointment. I went ahead and did that.
Once I received a message from the service team I responded in the app that I didn't need the tires installed but that I just wanted to pick them up take them home and save them for winter when I would then have my regular tires taken off my wheels and the winter tires installed at a local tire shop.
This was completely fine with the service team and they told me to come in any time to pick them up on that day.
That day was yesterday so I arrived around 12:30 to pick up my tires. I spoke to the person at the service desk who asked me "Do you want all the parts loaded into your truck or do you want us to assemble them?" - Huh? I replied. What do you mean?
The service person then proceeded to tell me - "Well do you want the wheels, tires and TPMS sensors loaded separately into the bed of your truck or do you want us to install the sensors and mount and balance the tires before taking them?"
Say what? I thought I ordered 4 tires?
Nope, you are getting the winter tire and wheel package.
ummm Ok, is there any change for assembling them?
Nope, that's all included, zero cost to you, do you want us to do it?
Uhhh Yes please.
Ok go have a seat in the waiting area...
Roger that!
Some time later they roll out my truck with 4 complete winter tire and wheels ready for me to take home and stack in my garage.
I don't know why Tesla did this but the service person assured me that this was correct. It seems like I saved some serious dollars and my swapping over to winter tires just got a heck of a lot easier as I will just dismount my standard wheels and mount the winter ones. I have no idea if Tesla will do this for others, but if you are considering a set of tires you might order what I did and see what shows up. You could be pleasantly surprised like I was!
Thank you Tesla! You never cease to amaze me!

Oh also in the dealership on the floor model Cybertruck they had a Stainless Steel plate that says Cybertruck on it. I inquired and they said corporate sent it to them for displays, no idea if it will ever be available for purchase.

Here is a picture of my new winter tires and wheels loaded up to take home!

And yes 5 protestors sitting in their chairs holding signs. One of the signs said "End Racial Profiling" - I have no idea what that is all about as I didn't stop to ask.

@TeslaKen - you've been torque news-ed... Looks like this lazy "journalist" is back at it. I'd expect a phone call from Tesla asking for their rims back. It's complete with unauthorized reproduction of your photos.

Yeah. That was a genuine shock. I really derailed the shit out of this thread.

I dont use X / Twitter personally only as part of the Tesla Club so I can't reply to the author because he doesn't list his email address or other contact method. If someone wants to reach out to him and ask him to contact me here that would be great.

I'm going to start making fake posts just for Torque News to steal. Like, "I got trapped in the vault, and had to eat my own foot to survive". Complete with photos and everything.
