Tires are arguably the most important part of vehicle safety in the sense that without properly fitting rubber or overworn tires, your car won’t operate to its best ability, nor will you or other occupants be able to have peace of mind when traveling, even in the most ideal conditions.

Add Fremont's 650K, and Berlin's already achieved run rate of 5K/week= 260K, and you're over Tesla's F/Y '23 guidance over 1,8M vehicles.
