1/ I had a close call today. I was driving my Model 3 and it was raining heavily on the freeway. I hydroplaned and then spinned out. Ended up on the side of the freeway, stuck in mud... but luckily unhurt.

@elonmusk Feature request: automatic tire tread detection

2/ Would be great if Tesla could make a product where car drives over a thin mat in the garage and the mat does automatic tire tread detection.

Similar to this product:

3/ However, for Tesla& #39;s product it would be great if the tire tread results were integrated into the car& #39;s display and driver is notified if tire tread is too worn.

This would have saved my accident today. And this could save many future accidents as well.

4/ I know I& #39;m supposed to check my tire tread regularly, but I got lulled into complacency partially because my Model 3 has had almost no need for maintenance over the past 28 months I& #39;ve owned it. On past ICE cars I& #39;ve owned I relied on oil changes to be told tire change needed.

5/ So it turns out after checking, my rear tires tread is worn so I will be changing all my tires first thing tomorrow.

I& #39;m grateful to be alive.

Thanks for all your replies to this thread.
