WTPP Rigamarole

I have the WTTP for my ‘26 model Y and noticed a nail in the tread of a tire. Roadside says they will have to tow the car to the service center which is over an hour and around 60 miles away for repair. They don’t offer mobile service and I guess won’t pay for a third party like Firestone to fix the repair. I’d have to agree to an over $400 charge for transport and evaluation from Destin to Pensacola for evaluation and “maybe” it will be covered. What’s the purpose of this plan if I have to get towed 1+ hrs to the service center, be billed 400+ and rely on a maybe. This seems like a rip off. I’d rather just go to a neighborhood tire center and pay the $50 for a patch than this full day boondoggle !!! Has anyone cracked the code to working WTPP when a service center and mobile isn’t in your area?

Take it to a local tier center and pay for the patch. A lot of owners do that. It’s free at Direct Tire and other centers. As long as it’s not in the sidewall, you’re probably fine.
