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.

In my experience in the Bay Area, most of the installers (Costo, Walmart, Pep Boys etc) will just go to their computer, type in your car info and Pirelli P Zero 94V and if their System says 'No Match' they don't want to install them, for Safety and mostly Liability reasons.
Tesla gave the car it's load rating, not me. I'm just giving folks a heads up. Do whatever you want.
There's a Customer Service email in the rebate if you want to double check. I got a reply the same day.
And with Walmart, I wouldn't wait until the last minute to place the order. They might not DATE the invoice until the tire order is actually pulled and shipped, and you need that date to be no later than April 4th to qualify for the rebate.

However given the calculations, I'm still struggling to see why it can't be done. You have 1658lbs of human/cargo capacity. That seems like a lot, especially when you consider under normal conditions, you would probably never exceed that load in a model 3. Now I know manufacturers will overshoot the load rating for a variety of reasons, but as long as you're not exceeding the load in this case, tire should perform as intended - as far as I know.
Regarding your point about a flat tire, keep in mind, cars don't float on 3 wheels after a flat. Yes the tire is flat but it still carries some of the load. And even if tire was dead flat, I don't think you're going anywhere, so I wouldn't see why that would be a major issue, even for a short distance (coasting to a stop, pulling over, etc) if the tires were indeed overloaded. Just an opinion. Don't decrease load ratings, and if you want to do it, be mindful of what the difference is
I will say though rotation is key for good tire life and wear. You don't have to do it often, just do it enough. I do mine every oil change
Same load rating as the tires in this post : https://www.tirerack.co
If you have a 18" wheels on your model 3, these are fine. I just ordered 4.
