Amazon has Pirelli P Zero All-Season UHP tires 235/45R/18 94V for $102.33 each.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...0DER&psc=1
Pirelli is offering a $70 rebate on a set of 4 Pirelli P Zero tires puchased by April 4, 2021
https://www.pirelli.com/tires/en-...tire-deals
$410- $70 rebate= $340 for 4 tires. That works out to $85 per tire, not including taxes or local tire fees.
I already contacted Pirelli rebates and they confirmed that Amazon was an Authorized seller but for online orders I needed to include: Proof of tracking/ confirmed delivery when submitting the rebate.
This is only a Deal for this size 235/45/18 afaik, since most sellers are priced at $150 to $160 apiece. It's the OEM size for my Accord.
Summit $154:

I believe Amazon price-matched Wamart's P-METRIC version of this tire.

4 times load 94 = 1477lbs is 5908 lbs
150% of 4250 is 6375lbs. '
So you're about almost 500lbs short and that's empty weight on the model 3. With a full load, you are going to go way past that and a full load can add up close to 800 - 1000lbs (adults + clothes + whatever else is in the car). I wouldn't do it.
You can also look at it this way: assume one tire pops.
3 times load 94 = 1477lbs is 4431
That's only a difference of 180. Almost the weight of an adult (read driver). You're at max load already and you can risk popping the other tires too.
I wouldn't do it. Being close to max load also increases wear too.
To make sure this isn't a one time fluke I looked up a similar sedan from one of the most conservative and reliable manufacture the Lexus IS350 F sport gross weight is 3,195 * 1.5 = 5,872.5
OEM tires are Bridgestone Turanza ER33 front tire with the max load of 1,235 back tire has max load of 1,323, using the larger number 1323 x 4 = 5,292 way under your recommendation.
Another bullet point, another post mention his sonata 2020 comes with the tire, so I checked and confirm it does indeed
Weight is 4,354 * 1.5 = 6534 so 5,908 is still under
Another member mention it came on his 2021 Kia K5 AWD GT-Line with a gross weight of 4354 (heavier then the Tesla Model 3) by your math they need tire weight rating of 6,534.

Performance acceleration eats into tires quick.
Load rating of 94 = 1477lb capacity per tire. The model 3 weighs 4250lbs so with four tires should be more than enough. Tell me if I'm interpreting this incorrectly
