Hi Neil, How was your experience with Costco Tires for your Model 3? I will need tires in about 1 year. What did you do for your wheel alignment? I am having trouble deciding on a Lifetime alignment. Any recommendations? My post is here: Looking for Tire shop near San Jose, CA for Tires and...

Hello All, I am looking for a Tire Shop in or near San Jose, CA (Bay Area) for tires and alignment on a Model 3. I looked on Yelp and Google and read horrible reviews about Firestone and Wheel Works in my area. I am not sure if it is a good idea to purchase the LIFETIME Alignment ($200) at...

I bought Tesla Insurance, hoping that service on my model 3 would go smooth. I am learning that Tesla insurance is not really Tesla insurance? It's with State National Companies. See photo below. What does "Producer" mean? My friend's model 3 took many months to repair due to backorders on...

I read the article about the Tesla insurance check bouncing. wow. I checked my policy. See photo attached. The underwriter is State National Companies. But I still think it is a Tesla "brand" insurance. Not sure what "PRODUCER" means and how the quality of care is involved. I am kinda...

I had a friend own a white model 3 standard. He got rear end about 2 years ago and the car was just sitting in the repair shop waiting for a bumper from the factory. It took about 9 months total to get his car back. The complaint was that Tesla systems don't necessarily talk to the insurance...

Have you thought about adding Tesla insurance to the list?

Did you check the torque range? It is suppose to be 129 lbs/in. and rechecked again after 25-50 miles.

Does over-inflating to 50psi on your 18 in areo wheel make the tires wear out prematurely in the center/middle areas of the tire? I am thinking the tire will expand outwards like a balloon?

Wow. Thanks for all the expertise. I actually understood all of that!

I never knew there were so many tire terms out there. I had to google all of them cause I have very little experience with cars. I did not find any "cupping" on my front tires. I never knew there were so many tire terms out there. I had to google all of them cause I have very little...

The Tech that came out to upgrade my Vision Computer (the new Chip), said it would cost about $80 for a tire rotation. After spending the money and effort, it may have been better to let the tech do it. But then I wouldn't find out about the premature wear unless the tech pointed it out...

Hello, thanks for reading my post and the information. I was also wondering if this unusual wear on the inner tread of the front tires was a normal thing for Model 3. Once I find a shop and take it in for an evaluation, I will let you know what I find out. Reading some of the lower posts, it...
