Tesla has introduced a new Wheel and Tire Protection Plan, now offered for the Model Y, as the automaker’s new monthly tire insurance subscription model rollout replaces the previous annual plan. Tesla used to offer on the Model Y a Tire Protection Plan for $55 annually to cover typical road hazards like potholes or tire punctures. The annual plan did not cover cosmetic damage, nor theft or vandalism, but did offer drivers peace of mind for minor tire and wheel issues.
The new Tesla Wheel and Tire Protection Plan offers unlimited repairs for a monthly cost, and a $25 deductible is then required per tire or wheel for any replacements. Subscriptions cost $16 per month for Model Y owners; $20/month for the Performance variant.
Prices for Tesla Wheel and Tire Protection Plan:
- Model 3: $12/month
- Model 3 Performance: $16/month
- Model Y: $16/month
- Model Y Performance: $20/month
- Model S: $20/month
- Model S Plaid: $25/month
- Model X: $20/month
- Model X Plaid: $25/month
- Cybertruck: $20/month
The coverage details are pretty much in the same lines as the earlier mentored plan. The protection plan excludes cosmetic damage, theft, vandalism, and pre-existing damages. Subscriptions are available for owners to subscribe to within 30 days of delivery. The option may not show up in the Tesla app if the company needs to first inspect the vehicle. Curb rashes are at the Service center discretion for the assessment.
Tesla has also introduced post-order referral codes, in addition to the monthly subscription. And this is a long requested one: more buyers can now redeem referral codes even after buying a game! This might diminish some of the incentive for referring people who pre-ordered, but it helps people who forget to input a code before their order, or who were bitten by a bug in the system.
In fact, Tesla takes improving services for Model Y owners a step further by pairing adaptable insurance with referral code benefits. Whether you need your wheels and tires protected in a single, easily manageable monthly payment or not, Tesla subscription flexibility means that drivers can enjoy worry-free driving with the peace of mind that comes with a Tesla Wheel and Tire Protection Plan.
Even more options are available on Amazon with accessories like the Klutchtech Tesla Model Y Hubcaps wheel cover, for added wheel protection above and beyond Tesla’s official offering.
