   Tesla has announced significant updates to its Wheel and Tire Protection Plan (WTPP). The program now features monthly subscription options, extended coverage terms, and broader eligibility requirements. These changes make tire protection more accessible to Tesla owners.

1. Coverage and Eligibility

   The WTPP covers damage caused by road hazards. This includes potholes and debris that cause tire punctures or wheel damage.

What's covered:

  • Tire damage from road hazards
  • Wheel damage from road hazards
  • Immediate protection upon subscription

What's not covered:

  • Theft or vandalism
  • Cosmetic damage (including curb rash)
  • Tires with tread depth below 4/32 inch

The plan is no longer just for new vehicles. Cars used for over 30 days can still qualify. Requirements include:

  • Tires must be purchased from Tesla
  • Or tires purchased within past 30 days
  • Tire tread depth must be above 75%

2. Subscription Options and Pricing

   Users can now choose subscription periods up to 24 months. Previously only 12-month options were available.

Monthly pricing varies by model and configuration:

Model Non-Performance Performance
Model 3 $12/month $16/month
Model Y $16/month $20/month
Model S $20/month $25/month
Model X $20/month $25/month
Cybertruck $20/month N/A

Annual costs range from $144 to $300. Each tire or wheel replacement requires a $25 deductible. Repairs are completely free.

3. How to Subscribe

Subscribing is easy through the Tesla app. Navigate to:

Upgrades > Service Plans > Wheel and Tire Protection

   The protection begins immediately upon subscription. Plans automatically renew monthly. This flexibility helps manage short-term cost pressure.

   This update follows Tesla's initial WTPP introduction. It expands coverage to more users. The program offers risk distribution for repair costs.

   It's particularly suitable for specific usage conditions. Choose based on your driving environment, vehicle configuration, and maintenance habits.
