I believe the reason why there are issues with the spoiler is because the trunks are not all the same. Tesla is known for misaligned panels and I would expect that each trunk part for every car is not identical which it should be. That said, I have a RPM one and going into this, my biggest...

I had this exact same problem and it is your alignment. You need to have the castor angle adjusted. Note, it may be in your best interest to take it to a third party company as I took my MS to the tesla SC and at my specific SC, they dont know what theyre doing there so i ended up paying out of...

When I had my left headlight replaced for the same reason as yourself by a mobile tech, he actually focused on making sure that he tried to align it as best as possible and actually mentioned that was a known problem. To be honest, even mine isn't 100% flush. This is just one of the knocks on...

I apologize as I mistyped but you are right, not ALL but I've read plenty of horror stories and I usually don't speak negatively about anything unless I personally have experienced it. That said, I picked up my MS Long Rage last September and found multiple issues(cracked glass roof, scratched...

To be quite frank, we've all had issues with Tesla one way or another and yes, it is a pain in the butt. At the end of the day, you are paying for the technology that Tesla has and in doing so, you suffer from a lack of customer service, QA, and QC. Unfortunately, I feel this is not going to...

They probably wont honor it under warranty but you have nothing to lose by trying! Good Luck

Hi, I would check out your wheel alignment as there has been many Tesla owners including myself that have picked up their car brand new and the car was veering to one side. You probably are thinking that a company like Tesla would not let that slip from a QA and QC perspective but when your...

I just had the same issue with my 2019 MS. You need to adjust the wheel alignment and more specifically the castor angle. I took my MS into the SC for a wheel alignment and they adjusted my driver side wheel castor way off. I took it to a performance shop to get it correctly aligned and was glad...

DO NOT TRUST TESLA WHEEL ALIGNMENT! So I had a wheel alignment done this am at a performance shop because I recently threw some new wheels on my car and the driver side wheel was rubbing the front of the wheel well. Whats funny is that just 2 months ago, I had Tesla do a wheel alignment because...

I'm glad it worked out for you and that you are ultimately happy! Don't stare at it too long cuz if you do, you'll end up finding something that may bother you and if your OCD like myself, it's even worse. Be Well, Stay Safe

Hey Guys! Both of you are spot on with your assessment as my driver side castor angle was way too positive and had it pushed back. I haven't really had a chance to do a full on inspection at every ride height but at standard and low ride, both my tires barely clear the wheel well by a mm when...

Thanks for the confirmation and I'm taking it to the alignment shop that Unplugged performance sends all their customers called Song's alignment in Hawthorne, CA. I'm actually located in Irvine. Thanks for hte heads up!

In my opinion, they place all their resources into production and sales as it is evident on the number of cars they are selling. Consequently, they lack funding and have disregarded customer service and quality control.

I agree that Tesla service has to step up their game tremendously and the irony in all this is their stock just surpassed $1,000.....

Colindo, Your comments are noted. I will get a proper wheel alignment tomorrow and have my castors adjusted and go from there. I have been told by multiple folks including unplugged performance that the wheel and tire set up should fit and have no rub at any height. We'll find out soon...

Thanks for your comments. I have a scheduled alignment at a performance shop tomorrow as I have lost faith in Tesla SC. I will definitely request checking the caster angle and get a readout. I'll keep you posted for the results. Thanks

Those look pretty awesome! What size wheel and tires you going with?

Thanks for your quick reply! Tesla is a strange company, that's for sure! I do understand that Tesla SC may charge me for an alignment but wanted to learn if during the alignment, they also check castor angle? I bought my car with factory 19's(factory wheel did not rub at all) and picked up my...

Hi Aggmeister, You sound very knowledgeable about this topic and was in hopes I could pick your brain. I have a 2019 MS LR and recently installed a set of aftermarket HRE wheels onto my car. My one goal and objective for this swap was not to ever rub and had relayed this message to the HRE rep...

Thanks for your reply! I'm going to take it to teh SC to get a alignment and if that eliminate the rub, I will take a heat gun to it! Thanks

Thanks for your reply! How have you liked the wheels and tires so far on your S? In regards to swapping your left and right tire, did they swap both wheels and tires or just the tires? Did they give you any info as to how that help reduce the rubbing? Thanks again for your help!

Once again it sounds like Tesla sacrifices their QC and customer service to ensure they hit their quotas on Tesla's sold. I picked up my 2019 LR Model S last September and just thinking about how many defects I found upon pick up angers me. Note, I would bring this to their attention ASAP so...

Alignment is worth the $200 or so....

Interesting

wow

Sweet Deal!

Hi, You definitely need a wheel alignment. Tesla is notorious for sending out cars that are not aligned. FYI, I picked up my model S last September and had a noticeable steering wheel tilt and in turn the car was not driving straight. I had it aligned at the service center and it was fixed.

Once again, another case to the lack of customer service and quality control. I am in hopes they get their act together sooner then later!

Hi All! I hope all is well during these crazy times. I have a 2019 model S Long Range and just installed 21" HRE FF04 running Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 255/32/21 in the front and 275/35/21 in the rear. HRE only has 1 spec for 21's for this wheel and I was told I wouldn't encounter any rubbing...

Thanks as Im using this post as 1 of the 8 so i change my avatar. Thanks

Hi, I trust all is well during these times. I understand this thread is from a long time ago and you may still not even have your S as you were trying to get rid of it. I was in hopes that I could pick your brain with an issue I am encountering. Like yourself, I have been extremely...

thanks and getting some same wheels but in 21s

What size wheels and what finish is that? Gold rush?
