This Tesla Cybertruck has only traveled 10,000km, and its tires are already worn out

A Tesla Cybertruck owner in the US is shocked to find that the tires on their vehicle have worn out completely after just 6,251 miles (approximately 10,000 km) and need to be replaced. The tires are not covered by warranty, and the owner stated that they only drive the vehicle on roads and highways, not off-road.

According to the owner's post on the TeslaCybertruckOwners forum, they had been very careful to follow Tesla's instructions. When they took the vehicle in for its first tire rotation as recommended by the manufacturer at 6,250 miles (10,000 km), the service center informed them that the tires were nearly worn out.

The original tires fitted to the vehicle are Goodyear Territory All-Terrain tires and are not covered by warranty. In this case, the front tires were worn at 4/32 and the rear tires at 5/32.

The edges of the tire tread blocks had worn down unevenly. This type of wear is uncommon and seems to have been caused by the entire power of the Cybertruck being focused on the tires.

It is noteworthy that the Tesla Cybertruck is not the only electric vehicle experiencing this issue. Over a year ago, many Rivian owners reported having to replace their tires after just 6,000 miles.

This occurred when using the "Conserve" mode, which made the R1T and R1S models function like front-wheel drive vehicles. This doubled the pressure on the tires, causing them to wear out faster. The excessive weight of the Rivian is believed to have contributed significantly to the tires wearing out quicker compared to conventional vehicles.

Therefore, managing tire lifespan with vehicles like the Cybertruck or R1T will depend on user priorities. Harder tires may be more durable but could reduce traction. This means the vehicle may accelerate slower, brake slower, and have poorer handling.

Choosing softer, high-traction tires will improve driving performance, but the tires will wear out faster, as seen in the case of the aforementioned vehicle owner.
