my UI doesn't have that. I've changed my tires myself and there was nowhere to enter the data. Do you mean the app or in car?

If a non-tesla person changes my tires, they haven't done anything.

I don't take my car to tesla for tires anymore. They charge you for everything, and offer no warranty. (also, my tires cannot be rotated)

From the manual:

> To see the miles driven since your last tire rotation or replacement, touch Controls > Service and look under Last Tire Service. After the tires on Model 3 are rotated, replaced, or swapped, update your vehicle's tire configuration by touching Reset, or by touching Wheel & Tire > Tires from the same screen. This allows your vehicle to reset the learned tire settings and improve your driving experience. This also clears and resets the tread wear alert for the vehicle until you travel 6,250 miles (10,000 km) and low tread depth is detected again.

had to look it up because I wasn't sure where it was but knew I had seen it.

Translation: Teslas, not sure which model you looked up, have such bad suspension and stearing that tires, ubder regular use, worn down inconsistently. Which shouldn't be an issue in modern cars running proper tires and tire pressure.

Ah yes, "Big Tesla" must have gotten to...checks notes...Michelin tires[0], Ford[1], Toyota[2] and more...

Your ignorance to cars and blind hatred to Tesla is showing BTW.

Inconsistent tire wear has nothing to do with the tires and all with the car so. Oh, and wrong tires (as in tires not meeting speed, load or dimension requirements), tires wrongly mounted on the rims (common among "tuners") or wrong tire preasure.

How much do you know about cars or mechanical engineering?

And where is inconsistent wear mentioned in there?
E.g. in Teslas user manual for the Model 3: swap tire every 10,000 km. And in other comments the last times the same question was discussed. Indirectly in the high number of inspection failures due to suspension issues.
I'm running a Model 3 with 2023.44.39 on it. In the Service menu there are a variety of exactly the things you mentioned.

In the top right corner there is "Tire Service Mileage" with an estimate of when you should service your tires. There is a reset link under that, which links into the "Wheel and Tire" service tab with more maintenance options.

There are alerts for nearly all of the things you mentioned: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-E95DAAD...

Regarding the tire wear, the car is heavy with instant torque. I've had to replace my tires quite a few times, but it's the only thing that has needed much servicing for me in the past three years. I'd expect that from a new car though, and I don't have much confidence in it's longevity.
