Tesla Increases Wheel and Tire Protection Plan Pricing
The automaker has updated costs for its optional coverage program that covers wheel and tire damage.
Tesla has raised its Wheel and Tire Protection Plan from $500 to $800 for two years of coverage—a 60 percent increase.
What Happened
The optional protection plan covers damage to wheels and tires caused by road hazards such as potholes, debris, or curbs. Previously priced at $500 for two-year coverage, the same tier now costs $800. The plan can be purchased at vehicle delivery or added later through Tesla's service department.
Why It Matters
For Tesla owners—particularly those with performance variants equipped with larger wheel options and low-profile tires—the Wheel and Tire Protection Plan has become notably more expensive. Road hazard damage to alloy wheels and specialized EV tires can result in costly repairs, making coverage changes relevant to total ownership costs. The 60 percent increase means owners will need to weigh whether the protection justifies the new premium.
The Bottom Line
Tesla has raised its Wheel and Tire Protection Plan from $500 to $800 for two-year coverage—a 60 percent jump. Owners considering the coverage should review Tesla's current pricing through their vehicle's service menu or contact a Tesla service center.
