Tesla Tire Replaced

I went to Tesla local store because of I started feeling and hearing pumping noise from front passenger side tire.. When I parked the whole night nothing happened no tire air dropped... I thought something happened and went to Tesla store and suddenly the tire out of air and they said need to be replaced instead of fixing.. cost me $570 for 1 tire. Model Y Pirelli Scorpion MS elect tire.. my Model Y is only been driving for 2,300 miles. I took the old tire home to see if local shop can fix it. I drive Tesla for Rideshare. What do you guy think Tesla replaced the tire instead of fixing the nail hole?

All 4 tires flat. Need advice

I was driving on the highway and ran over some metal debris ( about the size of a 4x4 piece of wood) that I didn’t see until the last second on my lane. Immediately afterwards my screen says that all 4 tires went to 0 psi. I inspect all tires and don’t see blowout or damage, but all of them went flat. I call Tesla roadside and they tow it to a service center that won’t be able to get to it until Monday. They said that if the tires need to be replaced they will be around 500 USD per tire.

Should I file a claim with Tesla insurance in hopes that the cost can be reduced or look at options outside of Tesla?

How do you replace wheel with tire yourself?

When it comes time to swap out winter for summer tires.. and you do it yourself, what is your procedure for doing it when it comes to your own garage? Do you get 4 separate tools to lift up your entire car, or use some kind of lift, or some other way? Or do you lift up just one corner with a single lift and change one tire at a time? Would be interested in what you do and what tools you use.
