In the United States, Tesla has just launched the Wheel and Tire Protection Plan (WTPP), a monthly insurance that covers wheels and tires.
This flexible plan offered by Tesla allows unlimited repairs and low-cost replacements, with a deductible of $25 per incident. It covers wheels and tires against unforeseen damage caused by potholes, nails, or road debris. Prices vary by model, from $12/month for the standard Model 3, up to $25/month for the Model S and X Plaid. The subscription activates immediately via the Tesla app and continues as long as the driver wishes.
A less restrictive option than in France
In France, Tesla also offers protection for tires and wheels, but with a different operation. It is linked to the purchase of new tires installed by Tesla and lasts for 12 months. The plan covers repairs and replacements due to road damage, with a cost starting around €32 per tire for the Model 3. Unlike the American insurance, there is no monthly option – the protection begins with the purchase of the tires and is only valid for those tires.
But those who are more clumsy shouldn’t rejoice too quickly… In both countries, theft, vandalism, excessive tire wear, and aesthetic damage like terrifying curb scratches remain excluded from the warranty. Each parking space or maneuver will therefore remain a source of stress that only those who have tried a Tesla can know!

Returning to what is covered, the significant difference is clear. In the United States, Tesla offers flexible and accessible insurance for all, through a monthly subscription, while in France, the coverage is dependent on tire changes and limited to a specific duration.
For owners, these plans provide additional security and help avoid unexpected expenses related to tires and wheels. The American option is likely to soon be rolled out to all markets, including the old continent, as it is ideal for those who want continuous and adjustable coverage.
