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.

The car weight pales in comparison to true road destroyer: 18 wheelers weight between 35k empty to 80k lbs full. According to this government report road damage grows exponentially with weight a 18000 lbs truck does 5000x the damage as a 2000lbs vehicle. To quote "tractor-trailer loaded to the 80,000-pound Federal limit, has the same impact on an interstate highway as 9,600 automobiles" I'm sure a few fully loaded 18 wheeler destroy more road than all the evs ever sold but "ev bad" have such a nice ring to it. Want tax put it on the shipping trucks I'm sure they can afford it.

Also, jfc its a mass market car, it not some ultra expensive exotic car.
As a Tesla owner, I am still 100% in for fair taxation. In my state of IL, ev registration is now more expensive than gas car registration and it makes sense. As more and more EVs hit the road, there will be much less tax revenue from the pumps, we need to pay our fair share for the roads we use. Not sure how much validity there is to "don't leak liquids on the road" because a car shouldn't be leaking liquids on the road at all, besides condensation. I'm sure ICE cars in bad shape leak plenty, but how much of road wear is due to these jalopys vs from heavy traffic combined with the elements? Seems like it would be insignificant. At any rate, even with the increases in tax on EVs, they're still FARRRR cheaper to run than ICE cars. The obvious cost savings is gas, but then theres no oil to change, no engine air filter, no timing belt... and on and on. Hell, you don't even need to change the brake pads (unless you drive like a lunatic) for 125,000+ miles. Maybe substantially more? My car has 80k miles on original pads and there might be another 80k still left to go the way I drive. Believe me, ev owners still win out in the long term.

This particular tire and sku do not carry a mileage warranty as they are an OE (original equipment) replacement tire. They are rated at a 500 treadwear rating so you can expect to get 40-50K miles out of them with proper maintenance.

I don't care about convincing you I don't want people missing out on a deal because they listen to the wrong information, its your deal too man, the only thing that's losing right now is your ego for sprouting some random guideline as facts. Find information that proves your point or stop making excuses.

Yeap saving is saving . There are tons of pricey car owners on this board. When one can get a set of $2k tyres to $1k life is good
