Not from the factory, but many dealers offer it as a selling point. (and charge way too much for it) If you have the dealer's add-on to the window sticker, it should be there.

Ask the dealer if they filled them with Nitrogen. Its not factory, but some dealerships have it done.

Not a big waste of money actually, less tire pressure fluctuation, there is almost no water vapor so no rusting rims, no leaky valve stems. Nitrogen is just overall better for the inner linings of the tire.

Depends on the money you pay for it. The dealer by me has it as a 999.00 dealer add on. **** that. Some tire shops offer lifetime nitrogen fills for as little as 20 bucks - that is definitely worth it. Slower pressure loss, less pressure fluctuation from temperature change, less corrosion on the inside, etc.
