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.

Maybe. Do u have a family?
When you turn at speed, do you think all four tires are still carrying equal loads? How about sitting on a hill? How about turning on a hill?
Most of that load can move onto two tires pretty easily.
The steepest hill by a fair margin is in Hawaii at 45 degree the next one is 37%, the city don't let you park on those hills for safety reasons. At the maximum angle 45 you will only transfer a maximum of 1.41 (divide one set by 1.41 and multiple the other set by 1.41). Additionally that's static load which is totally different than moving load which are what the wheels are rated for.
I'm pretty sure the manufacture account for all possible reasonable usage condition when they give the load rating otherwise they would have listed them as separate line item. As before if you want to do extreme things with your car why are you getting $110 tires.

Otherwise the tire should be sold as, yes it will fit and support the weight, but don't intend on moving the car. Makes no sense
For example what if you built your own car in your garage or a go kart? Telling me you have to overshoot load ratings by a certain amount to account for regular driving characteristics the average person knows little about?
Anyway rant over. Very little information I found about load ratings other than meet or exceed factory specs. Not that useful

It doesn't matter, the original argument was will it safely work on a tesla model 3, the answer is yes. Now if you want to spend money buying better tire for your own purpose be my guest I don't care.
I'm only rejecting the original declaration that you need 150% of weight rating. Show me the contrary and stop using straw-men argument. If your arguments are true then base on my previous post all these manufacture are wrong and you should consult for them you would make a lot of money

But even at lower load ratings I'm sure tire manufacturers built in a buffer to keep up with those variable loads. They can't reasonably assume that the car will stand still forever. Otherwise the load rating has no real meaning to the average consumer
Pirelli is Chinese owned for several years already. A lot of its business practices and supply chains has changed since.

These are like random rule of thumbs from the days past that somehow sprouted as facts in modern day environment, like changing your oil every 3000 miles.
Ideally from CostCo, Les Schwab or Discount Tire Direct for around $350 installed.
Performance acceleration eats into tires quick.
