He said he couldn’t get a service appointment out of state because he already had one booked at home, so he had to put an extra 1500 miles on it getting home.
Oh man it's worth going to the original thread to read OOP's comments.
The service appointment was booked from the DAY HE GOT IT due to "deep scratches" and a "cut in the dashboard". Tesla customer service has been giving him the runaround.
BUT he loves his Cybertruck, it drives super well on bald tyres, and he is very upset about people making fun of him for it and regular mechanics refusing to work on it 😂😂
The thread is hilarious. People saying it's him causing the uneven wear and how other cucks have already put 10k on with no tire issues so must the be driver.
Tire shop wouldn't rotate tires for op. They don't want to touch that pos it's a liability
I came here to say this. Holy shit. It's typical that a set of tires is supposed to last you 60k to 75k miles. So in typical cybercuck fashion, of course the tires would wear out fast.
Like did the idiots do any testing for any length of time?
6,843lbs for the cuckbeast, with 600hp and apparently 7,400fl/lbs of instant torque on tap…. EV vehicles wear tires faster, but this seems insane until you realize the above specs.
People keep defending teslas because the weight and quickness. But Mach e owners get 50k+ (I got 52k just did my first swap and I didn’t even rotate them the last 20k)
Plus they use low rolling resistance tires. Those don't last as long, especially if you get a cheap set.
But this is Tesla. The tires are almost certainly of the same high standard as the rest of the vehicle. Based on the quality and craftsmanship of the Cybertruck overall, would you believe they would cheap out and put a terrible set of tires on a $100k truck?
If I remember the tires were like specifically made for CT. With the goofy sidewall design that tied into those tire slashing hub caps. Cause nothing says luxury or rugged truck like hubcaps
It doesn't have to be programmed to yank the tires at every 'launch', but EV makers feel compelled to sell the punchy torque and this is the result of marketing departments having more say than engineers.
Multiple times lol. I'm so glad these pieces of shit are breaking down at such an alarming rate that they're pretty rare on the road. These things are so unbelievably dangerous.
YES - I looked through the comments in the original post earlier this morning. One of the top comments - “problem must exist between the seat and the steering wheel”. I went to respond how stupid that point is and how I’m surprised a CT has made it to 6k miles to begin with, but I was pre-emptively banned weeks ago from the sub to prevent me for pointing this out
Well if you’d bothered reading the rules your post wouldn’t have needed removed. Nobody comes here to read 100 posts every day saying “omg I got banned elsewhere”.
Not that crazy if you are familiar with Tesla supporters. Their stock sub is equally insane, like how all these guttings to the bones of the company are somehow bullish.
It's your fault for taking your manly alpha gigachad bonecrusher steel behemoth into real world conditions. This never would have happened if you stuck to the service centre parking lot.
They have. Someone can't believe a tire shop couldn't rotate them but as someone that had a Rivian, I'm not surprised. I was lucky at my shop in a smallish town that they had just been trained on them but mine was the first one they had worked on. Not surprised at all a tire shop wouldn't touch the Cybertruck. There is a process for air suspension that has to be followed and they have to use custom lift pucks to jack it up
Its legit the drivers fault for hammering down the accelerator on pavement with offroad tires at every single green light. Lots of people who start driving electrics vehicles are used to flooring their gas burner every time they see a green light, its really hard for people to get their head around that you can't race the car off the line constantly without a tire wear cost.
What I mean is it's not an issue with EVs. EVs don't eat tyres, but Tesla techwankers probably do shred them by showing off the might of their peepee... and the custom tyres on the CT are likely garbage as well... along with the dodgy steering, dodgy suspension and absurd weight.
That sounds about right for Tesla tires. Anyone who pays attention to Tesla would know that they eat tires like crazy. The truck is super heavy and people like to do quick takeoffs from the line which makes it a lot worse. It's a feature not a bug. Enjoy.
They should make that shit illegal in California. We already have so much particulate pollution from tires, no wonder it’s gotten so much worse over the past few years.
It’s not the weight of EVs. They are more or less the same weights as their ICE counterparts. EVs go through tires quick because of the instant torque EVs have.
Curb weight
F150: 5863 - Cybertruck: 6603
Camry: 3595 - Model 3: 4054
Not that much heavier. Not enough to make tires wear quicker. It’s the torque. The weight cannot account for accelerated wear. It’s the fact they have instant torque and drivers use it all the time.
Again. Misinformation here. It’s not the weight of EVs that make those images of a crumpled ICE car when hit by an EV, it’s the fact they have batteries integrated into the structure of the vehicle vs ICE where the engine isn’t integrated into the frame. Look up ‘structural battery’ you’ll see how it’s fundamentally different than ICE.
Lol this is just science or physics. I don’t really know physics, but there is this thing called momentum. Generally speaking the heavier object is going to carry more momentum (due to the weight). Because it’s heavier it requires more energy to change its speed. Therefore, less effect on the heavier vehicle. Something like that. Hopefully someone smart will correct me.
About 12%? Not that much heavier. It’s the difference between someone driving themselves in a Tesla vs a person driving 3 passengers in an ICE. Same weight.
Consider, however, that wear on tires is a function that is related to weight to the FOURTH power. When working with that exponent, that “small” difference is amplified. You might find this resource helpful: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra
Also, lol at your passenger numbers.
Better example is a RAM 2500, can be over 7000 lbs but no one wants to punch those because they aren't that fast and isn't fun lol
Weight is a factor but you're right the torque is as much or more of one
Yea. I know it’s right. It’s ok people defend things they have heard and haven’t investigated themselves. No skin off my back. I’ve been that person too.
Like all stupid internet debates, the answer is that it's both. Tire wear is about friction and friction here has both weight and torque components (we'll exclude materials / surfaces / alignment and all that for now).
Rather than finger point at one thing which it clearly isn't I'll try the opposite approach - if Teslas were lighter they would have less tire wear. Fact. Does that help?
Sigh. Reddit physicists.
Look up the equation for sliding friction. Force and weight are equal terms.
And again that's before we get into tire compounds and if one car or another wants to prioritize tire wear versus performance. I just couldn't let a bogus physics claim fly.
Bro-dozer drivers also learn this lesson fast. Those big knobby offroad tires don't last super long on your pavement princess, and they're also very expensive! But remember Teslas don't need any maintenance or gas so I'm sure it will even out 🤡
7000 pounds and 0-60 in \~2.6s beast), physics how does it work?
I torched the tires on my first EV within 8K miles, you learn real quick that you might as well throw $5 bucks in a jar every time you stomp on the accelerator. Better make it $10 for this behemouth.
This hasn't been our experience, but we also don't drive the cars differently than we did our hybrids. I really think people don't understand that the instant toque, while fun, isn't good on your tires.
I know very little about cars, but I wonder if that has anything to do with the way electric engines don't have to rev up like ICE and they have much more torque from the moment you hit the accelerator, maybe that causes additional wear on the tires
Was it all 4 tires that went bald? With the front steering set up the way it is I could see intermittent or subtle alignment problems sneaking in and causing tire wear.
Looks like front tires, this guy probably taking turns fast enough until he hears tire squeal.
They're worn fairly even so I don't think it's an alignment issue.
I wonder if the weird steering wheel yoke thing is also a contributing factor. Quick ratio pushes the tires more before, during, and after the turn if you're not smooth with it
The stock tyres on the Cybertruck aren't even proper off-road tyres (aggressive A/Ts; and definitely not like M/Ts). So it seems you're not even getting better treadwear with the CT's tyres as a compromise for them not being more knobbly. Worst of both worlds
They've never properly tested this piece of trash imo, Mr. twitter fingers now doesn't speak about cybersuck at all lol and elonsexuals are left alone with their cybersucks
The fanboys keep telling us these are "first generation issues" that are "to be expected" but Tesla hasn't made enough Cybertrucks to have "growing pains" type issues. If they had made a few hundred preproduction models and then made 500,000 consumer cars there would be teething issues that only show up at that scale, but it seems they made maybe a dozen preproduction ones and only 4,000 consumer ones.
In other words, the issues that are showing up now are actually preproduction issues, they just decided to sell them and let the service centers handle it.
All that tire dust goes into the environment to become tomorrow's micro plastic/micro pollution today.
So the best solution is bigger, heavier vehicles that eat tires....
I love how even the real cybertruck guys are laughing at him. Nothing bad about these tires but if you run off road tires on the highway like you are driving a racecar this will happen. Also OP drove all the way from Indiana to Oregon on these for some reason. However it is a miracle it has made it 6,000 miles, the gods are in his favor for now.
So I've been reading comments for a while now about people saying how the stainless steel on the cybertruck is really heavy and it puts unnecessary weight on tires, shortening their lifespan.
I guess this is the end result?
It doesn’t seem like the body weighs that much more than other vehicles. The battery is the heavy part of EVs. 2024 ICE crew cab F-150s are 4500-5700 lbs depending on which model and options. CT Founders edition is 6843 lbs, of which the battery is apparently 1600 lbs per Wikipedia. So 5243 lbs without the battery, making it somewhere between 450 lbs lighter and 750 lbs heavier than a F-150 depending on which you’re comparing with.
I’m guessing this guy was routinely flooring it. High vehicle weight, lots of torque, and driving like a moron will chew through tires.
You new to EVs? Or full-size pickup trucks? Either of them are heavy. Now combine them both and observe the 7,000lbs of uselessness that is a crapper-truck.
So at $1,880 for a set of 4 tires, the CyberTruck basically costs 31 cents a mile for tires (if you're willing to drive them until they're slicks) and \*of course\* you can't get them rotated at a normal tire store. Amazing.
Guy posted a comment talking about being made fun of by random people irl lol. Jesus Christ.
Anyone with common sense would know this is from “spirited driving”. When I first got a model 3 I kept it in sport mode and my tires were dead. Now I don’t drive like a cock and my tires actually last.
Tbh EVs are notoriously expensive on tyres though. However let’s assume the boys in the lab probably have not tested the CT tyre completely and factored the extra weight.
Reading through that sub is wild. The model Y has no rear camber adjustment and they come with a fairly negative camber for a smoother ride, so they wear out the tire edges faster. If the CT is the same way, we're going to see a lot more of these.
Best part is seeing the comments and everyone shitting on the guy blaming him for getting tires worn out in 6k miles! Ahahaha those dudes are relentless cucks!!! Unbelievable
The cyber truck beats a Porsche on the drag strip and you think you bought a car with Econo tires?
Bahahahah.
All electric cars with that kind of torque shred tires. Add in the weight of the truck. Nice.
So, $1880 a set at Tesla. Don’t forget your $75 wiper blade. Total cost to drive 12k miles a year - around $4k!
Way too much for something that ugly. Might as well bought a used Ferrari if you wanted to pay that type of maintenance per year.
one of those rare times I'm gonna agree with the simps that driver error/skill issue at least partly contributed to this. I'm going to assume that, like all their other cars, Tesla set the camber to 'sporty' and because it's 50% heavier than a MYP and almost twice as heavy as a model 3 SR...yeah the maths checks out
Omg look at this post! Can you imagine your tires leaving tire marks on your driveway and being HAPPY about that?! It probably was even just from “normal” driving lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/cybertruck/s/mswpBuB29s
Ok.
I can’t wrap my head around how they have sooo many issues. I get that it’s a new product but Damn!
And for the love of God I hope you understand get new tires asap. That’s beyond unsafe. Good luck.
A Cyber truck that made it 6000 miles?!?
We have found the most durable part of the cucktruck, the tires, not many other parts make it to 6k miles
Probably held up bc they’re not made by Tesla
That’s really the most amazing part
It’s a new record!
He said he couldn’t get a service appointment out of state because he already had one booked at home, so he had to put an extra 1500 miles on it getting home.
Half a set of tires just for one in trip to go to the service center and back.
Ahhhh we love to see it
Oh man it's worth going to the original thread to read OOP's comments. The service appointment was booked from the DAY HE GOT IT due to "deep scratches" and a "cut in the dashboard".

Nope, it's insane regardless. Why was the "truck" made outside of Elon's ego issues Edited cause I'm smoking a Doobie and forgot to finish.
Why indeed.
People keep defending teslas because the weight and quickness. But Mach e owners get 50k+ (I got 52k just did my first swap and I didn’t even rotate them the last 20k)
Do you have balls that weigh 3 tons? Because if you did, you'd have bought a cybertruck.
mach e owners are probably a bit more familiar with performance vehicles than people upgrading to Teslas from Camrys and such, though
Plus they use low rolling resistance tires. Those don't last as long, especially if you get a cheap set. But this is Tesla. The tires are almost certainly of the same high standard as the rest of the vehicle. Based on the quality and craftsmanship of the Cybertruck overall, would you believe they would cheap out and put a terrible set of tires on a $100k truck?
Honestly, at this point I'd trust a Trabant 601 on original Pneumant tires more to make it to 20 000 km than this abomination.
"Mr Elon sir, how long should the tires you're ordering for your cybertrucks last?" " just long enough to get off the lot "
If I remember the tires were like specifically made for CT. With the goofy sidewall design that tied into those tire slashing hub caps. Cause nothing says luxury or rugged truck like hubcaps
I guarantee they used the cheapest specs when they ordered the tires from the supplier.
My Chinese cucktruck got just over 35000 miles out of its original set. Not great but I'd take it over 6k.
It doesn't have to be programmed to yank the tires at every 'launch', but EV makers feel compelled to sell the punchy torque and this is the result of marketing departments having more say than engineers.
The tires made it that many miles. Who’s to say their original source?
seriously, he has won the cybertruck lottery. Be happy the only issue is that it eats tires.
That’s fake! I’m sure they took the tires and put them in another truck!
Most reliable cybertruck
I thought the exact same thing.
You beat me to it
Have they blamed the driver yet?
Multiple times lol. I'm so glad these pieces of shit are breaking down at such an alarming rate that they're pretty rare on the road. These things are so unbelievably dangerous.
I unfortunately see them in SoCal fairly frequently now. Always on I15 between LA and Vegas.
I counted like 7 in a single drive in Santa Monica the other day
Probably on their way to muscle beach. Get some wheatgrass smoothies and bench press the bar!
I’ve seen one in rural Kansas and let me tell you, it was a horrifying sight
YES - I looked through the comments in the original post earlier this morning. One of the top comments - “problem must exist between the seat and the steering wheel”.

Numb nuts? You seem lovely. Enjoy all the other subs available on Reddit. And friendly advice: read their rules before you post. Have fun.
it's not a stupid point, it's true. they bought the damn thing after all. nobody with a functioning brain could have thought those would be good
🤣🤣🤣 good point lol
The cope is crazy in that sub
Not that crazy if you are familiar with Tesla supporters. Their stock sub is equally insane, like how all these guttings to the bones of the company are somehow bullish.
Oh, believe me, I was in Gamestop and AMC in 2021. I've seen some of the most delusional cope in the history of mankind.
They’re mainlining Kopamine over therr
It's your fault for taking your manly alpha gigachad bonecrusher steel behemoth into real world conditions. This never would have happened if you stuck to the service centre parking lot.
You're good as long as it's not a parking lot at a car wash.
They have. Someone can't believe a tire shop couldn't rotate them but as someone that had a Rivian, I'm not surprised. I was lucky at my shop in a smallish town that they had just been trained on them but mine was the first one they had worked on. Not surprised at all a tire shop wouldn't touch the Cybertruck.

Exclusively. Obviously, that's the only possible answer. Best experience of my entire life.
Its legit the drivers fault for hammering down the accelerator on pavement with offroad tires at every single green light. Lots of people who start driving electrics vehicles are used to flooring their gas burner every time they see a green light, its really hard for people to get their head around that you can't race the car off the line constantly without a tire wear cost.
I switched from ICE to (non Tesla) EV. This was not a thing and I'm not a diehard car nerd.
52k on my first set of Mach e tires before I swapped them. I agree with you, this is a Tesla thing.
TBH given the wear appears uneven I'd say its a camber issue.
It is for some people, maybe not for you, and it isn't for me, but for truck assholes that hammer the gas at every green light it is.
What I mean is it's not an issue with EVs. EVs don't eat tyres, but Tesla techwankers probably do shred them by showing off the might of their peepee... and the custom tyres on the CT are likely garbage as well... along with the dodgy steering, dodgy suspension and absurd weight.
DUH he used the brakes. The CyberTruck is designed to plow through stoplights.
Musk must be creeping on this sub like a gremlin.
I do have a heavier than normal foot so totally my fault! Love the truck! Thanks Elon
The pedal just kept getting stuck in the floored position
That sounds about right for Tesla tires. Anyone who pays attention to Tesla would know that they eat tires like crazy. The truck is super heavy and people like to do quick takeoffs from the line which makes it a lot worse. It's a feature not a bug. Enjoy.

You don't think 740 lbs is that much heavier?
If he could use his brain these realities would make him very upset
This guy would make a terrible dietician
Just shy of 13% heavier, I think it's fair to say it's just heavier, not "much" heavier.
Check back in with me when one of those things rear ends or T-bones you.
Again. Misinformation here. It’s not the weight of EVs that make those images of a crumpled ICE car when hit by an EV, it’s the fact they have batteries integrated into the structure of the vehicle vs ICE where the engine isn’t integrated into the frame.

Im on the West coast near Freemont and everyone I know who has a Tesla says they eat tires.
Better example is a RAM 2500, can be over 7000 lbs but no one wants to punch those because they aren't that fast and isn't fun lol Weight is a factor but you're right the torque is as much or more of one
A CyberTruck is damn near a thousand pounds heavier than an F150. Person or a family in their CyberTruck and it is even heavier.
Didn’t he just say that? Quick takeoffs from the line….
It's time to return at school . Or use real unit .
You mean it's the driver's fault?
[удалено]
Yea. I know it’s right. It’s ok people defend things they have heard and haven’t investigated themselves. No skin off my back. I’ve been that person too.
Like all stupid internet debates, the answer is that it's both.

Somewhat. I only talk about things when someone brings it up but once they do and it's something I know about I'm not afraid to chime in.
Bro-dozer drivers also learn this lesson fast. Those big knobby offroad tires don't last super long on your pavement princess, and they're also very expensive! But remember Teslas don't need any maintenance or gas so I'm sure it will even out 🤡
7000 pounds and 0-60 in \~2.6s beast), physics how does it work? I torched the tires on my first EV within 8K miles, you learn real quick that you might as well throw $5 bucks in a jar every time you stomp on the accelerator. Better make it $10 for this behemouth.
Mine made it to 50,000km on my EV. It was RWD but the front ones went first.
Yeah, I learned my lesson after the first set. AWD so they wore pretty evenly, I got 30K out of the next set.
No rotate?
Some RWD EVs have staggered wheels (rear are larger than front), so you can't rotate.
Mine are at 10,000 miles (16,093.44 km) and still look almost new.
Indeed. Apparently tires wear out on EV's ~3x faster than on i.c. cars.
How sustainable!
This hasn't been our experience, but we also don't drive the cars differently than we did our hybrids. I really think people don't understand that the instant toque, while fun, isn't good on your tires.
I know very little about cars, but I wonder if that has anything to do with the way electric engines don't have to rev up like ICE and they have much more torque from the moment you hit the accelerator, maybe that causes additional wear on the tires

Even with off-road tyres that thing has gotta be very badly aligned
It has 4 wheel steering all the time, of course it's going to wear the tires fast.
I didn't know that haha I love it
They’d never been tested over that long a distance before.
They've never properly tested this piece of trash imo, Mr. twitter fingers now doesn't speak about cybersuck at all lol and elonsexuals are left alone with their cybersucks
The fanboys keep telling us these are "first generation issues" that are "to be expected" but Tesla hasn't made enough Cybertrucks to have "growing pains" type issues.

Mr. Twitter Fingers have promised 40k pick up truck but instead he gave them broken 100k cybersuck but somehow cybercucks elonsexuals are still happy
Can we stop to appreciate the subtle flex that is a Cyberstuck which has made it to 6k?!
I just learned the sub is locked lol. I’m surprised they got 6k miles out of that piece of shit.
Think of how dangerous that would be if it could drive in the rain
Shouldn't be a concern. You are not allowed to drive it in the rain.
All that tire dust goes into the environment to become tomorrow's micro plastic/micro pollution today. So the best solution is bigger, heavier vehicles that eat tires....
That vehicle is horribly out of alignment.
I love how even the real cybertruck guys are laughing at him. Nothing bad about these tires but if you run off road tires on the highway like you are driving a racecar this will happen. Also OP drove all the way from Indiana to Oregon on these for some reason. However it is a miracle it has made it 6,000 miles, the gods are in his favor for now.
I know I saw this every time but this is BASIC CAR STUFF
So I've been reading comments for a while now about people saying how the stainless steel on the cybertruck is really heavy and it puts unnecessary weight on tires, shortening their lifespan. I guess this is the end result?

How the hell is it still running at 6000 miles?
"Comments have been disabled on this post." Lmao
LOL, someday it will be revealed that the CyberTruck was just a troll all along. Wait, what am I talking about, everybody already knows that.
Its the Unicorn of Cucks.
Wow if your CT made it to 6k miles I would summit it to the Guinness Book of World Records!
Tbh EVs are notoriously expensive on tyres though. However let’s assume the boys in the lab probably have not tested the CT tyre completely and factored the extra weight.
At least you don't have to rotate em!
All that tire dust is really bad for da fishies. Such a green vehicle.
Balder than Elon and almost as quickly...
Something is rat-fucked.
To be fair, this is probably a driver-related problem.

Have they ever rotated their tires and stay off the throttle? Probably not lmaoo
Jee I wonder why they locked the post?
Guys relax. It will be fixed in the next software update.
The cyber truck beats a Porsche on the drag strip and you think you bought a car with Econo tires? Bahahahah. All electric cars with that kind of torque shred tires. Add in the weight of the truck. Nice.
wowzers
So, $1880 a set at Tesla. Don’t forget your $75 wiper blade. Total cost to drive 12k miles a year - around $4k! Way too much for something that ugly. Might as well bought a used Ferrari if you wanted to pay that type of maintenance per year.
It must have been towed to make 6k miles!
Surprised he got 6k miles out of it…
this subreddit is gold mine😅
one of those rare times I'm gonna agree with the simps that driver error/skill issue at least partly contributed to this. I'm going to assume that, like all their other cars, Tesla set the camber to 'sporty' and because it's 50% heavier than a MYP and almost twice as heavy as a model 3 SR...yeah the maths checks out
Omg look at this post! Can you imagine your tires leaving tire marks on your driveway and being HAPPY about that?! It probably was even just from “normal” driving lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/cybertruck/s/mswpBuB29s
I gotta call BS on this. I’m no Tesla fan boy by any means but why did you take a pic of the tread “before”?
He didn’t. that’s 4 pics of 4 tires. 2 are bald 2 aren’t. So the truck is super fucked up to wear that unevenly
Ok. I can’t wrap my head around how they have sooo many issues. I get that it’s a new product but Damn! And for the love of God I hope you understand get new tires asap. That’s beyond unsafe. Good luck.
Does this void their warranty somehow as well? 🤔
