    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    In other news, I am at a Tesla Service Center right now. They are unwilling to do the alignment in "low" suspension mode. They said they have to do the alignment in "standard" mode. I pointed out that the car has an option to "default to low mode", which would make "low" the standard, but they...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    I would highly suggest anyone having these issues to contact Michelin support. They have been super-helpful. The issue has been escalated and I am in contact with them to help figure it out.

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    I got in touch with Michelin. They requested that I take the damaged tire to one of their approved shops for an inspection. Immediately when I showed the inspector the tire he said, "You got a major alignment issue." He is reporting this information back to Michelin. I am hoping that Michelin...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    Same story here. I had a very slow leak in my right rear tire. It was losing about 1psi every 3 days. I took it to a local shop. They did a leak test and everything looked fine. On a road trip, I get a notification that the right rear is getting low. It’s down to 30psi and dropping about 1psi...

    Popping Noise - Front Wheel Area

    I have the same issue. I scheduled a service appointment and Tesla cancelled it. They told me that this is normal for the vehicles with the 21" Arachnids. It is caused by the differences in toe when the steering is at the extremes. Obviously, this is not what I want to hear, but it is what it is.

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    My 2021 Model S just shredded the inner band of the right rear tire at 20k miles. Right rear had a super-slow leak. So, it was at about 36psi when I got on the highway. That, in combination with the camber & toe issues plus it being highway speeds and low-mode on the suspension probably led to...

    @Jphurd11 I was saying that new ones don't deliver until then. This one is available right now, though I am sad to see it go - especially considering FSD is about to go up another $2k. Send me a DM if you would like to discuss.

    Wet floor on Model S

    Any updates on this? A few days ago I was driving (2016 Model S 70D) and listening to some music and the driver's side a-pillar tweeter stopped working. So, naturally I opened the Tesla app and scheduled a mobile service appointment. Then, yesterday I was vacuuming and felt water in the carpet...

    Caliber has their own truck with the capability to tow Teslas. Talk to David at Caliber. If I recall correctly, they were able to wrap the towing fees in to the invoice charged to my insurance company. Good luck!

    Real Time Chronicle of my Body Shop Experience

    It seems that GEICO has been on top of things. I say "it seems" because they are the ones I have had the least contact with. They did lowball the initial repair estimate, but the body shops all highballed it. Definitely expected behavior on both ends. In terms of "out of pocket", I will pay my...
