You don't need to buy tires at the dealership, and in fact most people don't.

No, certainly you can go to Discount Tire and buy a set of bargain basement $400 20" tires for your $100,000 car.

The entry-level Tesla 3 was $35k, and most tire shops have better prices even on the fancy tires than the dealerships.

The entry level 3 hasn't been $35K for several years.

The entry level 3 with absolutely nothing on it is $47K before tax. In any case, this specific example was a high end Model S.
