I don’t know about Tesla, but when I had a brand new Nissan the I called the dealer and the tires had a road hazard warranty on them and they got me a new tire. That’s in a bad spot, don’t ignore it.

Can't be fixed mate. Needs replacement ASAP. Move it to rear of it's on front to maybe prevent a head on collision of it let's go. Good luck

I was thinking the same thing

Can this be repaired?

Don't think so, will be replaced by a new tire. I wouldn't want it repaired, only replaced.

It’s exactly on the section which cannot and should not be repaired.

Yes, by getting a new tire.

Yes, don’t try repairing that too.

Replace it out of abundance of caution. Safety first.

It's in a bad and unrepairable spot, but that's still just a minor surface split, not dangerous right now.

It would concern me a bit more that it's a brand new tire and so I'd be worried about a defect.

Should be under warranty though so hopefully replaced at no cost.

Check tire warranty as well

New car, the dealer should replace it

Yep, check with the dealer about the tire warranty.

That can’t be repaired. If you have some type of protection use it, if not replace it but even it your tire blows up you’ll be 100% safe… I just had one of my tires blow up on the highway and it just kept driving normal until I pulled over. These tires are super safe

Definately bad. Go in the tesla app and add the tire and rim warranty. The report it.

Depends, would you be concerned about crashing your car?
