Shatumatic tires at 10,000 km

It is not just what you save in gasoline, it is also what you save on maintenance. It is, without a doubt, one of the great Arguments to jump into the electric car and one of the factors that can opt for the balance. As they have shown us with statements the taxi drivers themselvesthe more kilometers you do, the more performance you take out an electric car.

But that’s what we can expect from a electric car normal.

And the Tesla Cybertruck It is, of course, everything but normal. That is why there are people complaining about a small detail: they have had to change the wheels of their car last more than 10,000 kilometers.

A change of express tires

The Tesla Cybertruck is great. It is very big, in fact. But, above all, it is heavy and powerful. A combination that do not get along with an aggressive driving style or with poor quality tires.

According to what was shown in social networks by some owners of the electric pick-up Of those of Elon Musk, it is not entirely clear if the problem is the first, the second or a combination of both. And there are those who are making clear in their social networks that after just over 10,000 kilometers he has already had to make his first change of tires.

They explain in Jalopnik That the Tesla CybeRtruck is equipped with goude tires of proportions according to its size. With dimensions of 285/65r20They point out that changing each of these tires can go to about $ 500 if the original tire is chosen. That is, at least 2,000 euros for changing the game of the four tires.

This is because the gums used are specially designed so that the aerodynamic tapacubos that are mounted in the vehicle are designed to give a higher size impression of what they really are. Another possibility, in case of opting for change, is to set up a new tire and opt for cheaper tires.

But the issue for some owners is that these doubts that should assault them after traveling tens of thousands of kilometers have begun to manifest when they have barely traveled little more than 10,000 kilometers. Or of 11,200 kilometers in one of the examples they put in Jalopnik. In September 2024, the information that aimed at A very short useful life of the rubber.

What has led to this premature wear of the tires? That is one of the big doubts. It is true that the rubber of some specific cases may have arrived deteriorated but it is more likely that there is a cluster of circumstances that sweep with records in record time.

First, the tires mounted in these cases are gums with off -road tachy. This type of tire suffers especially in the asphalt since they are designed to improve grip and traction which means, of course, greater wear. The performance and useful life of the tire is also variable depending on the weather conditions: if the abrasa asphalt, greater wear.

To this is added that we are facing a car that weighs 3,000 kg and can be acquired with a power of 845 hp. Its motor torque is more than 1,100 nm. They are data that give an idea of ​​to what extent the gums can suffer if the driver weighs a little right foot.
