    I have a 2022 model 3 dual motor. At 8k I had tires rotated. Yesterday took car in to have tires rotated again at 17k do I need to have an alignment?

    Can you please help determine if these panel gaps are fine?

    I just got a Model Y and have 7 days or 100 miles to spot any problems. I need advice on judging the panel gaps in the pictures to see if there are serious issues like leaks or trouble with doors. I'm not sure how to measure these gaps properly or what to look for. Could you please check the...

    Reasonably priced alignment shops in San Diego, CA

    I'm doing some suspension work and will need to get my MY aligned afterwards. I wanted to know if anyone had recommendations for shops in or near San Diego? I've heard Tesla charges wayy too much and had one shop quote $250. I was hoping to find something closer to the $150 range, but still...

    M3 Alignment+Tires after 5 years

    So my 2018 M3 LR AWD will be 5 years old this November. Recently started hearing weird road noise, which I thought was related to the recent work that they did (rear drive unit failed, they replaced it). I took it back (walk-in), had a tech with me on a test drive in my car, I demonstrated the...

    Is this normal for the left light?

    Just a quick question, Is it normal to have a split in the left headlight like the picture attached. People have always flashed thinking my lights are on high beam but recently a passenger commented on how high the top section of my left light was shining. Is it normal to have a split in the...

    Alternative, DIY refresh Model X rear camber correction

    I was thinking about this over coffee. Anybody who is considering spending $400 for the Macsboost kit could DIY this for next to nothing. I need somebody to confirm the relationship between the spacer thickness and the camber, but I don't have a refresh X. If anybody is in the Bay area I'd be...

    N2itive’s Alignment Kit 1 vs. Unplugged Performance

    I'm on the fence of getting either N2itive's Alignment Kit 1 or Unplugged Performance adjustable rear camber arm set and their lowering kit to proactively reduce/prevent front end shudder/inner tire wear on my new '23 Model X LR. Tesla still hasn't fixed the half shaft issue. Anyone have...

    Tesla Alignment wrong from factory?

    Was your car aligned properly when it was made by Tesla? You can make multiple responses to the poll. I'm on my second Model 3. On my 2018 LR AWD, I didn't notice the poor alignment until the tires wore out at about 12k miles. The inner part of the tread was completely worn out while the outer...

    Vehicle pulls right at low speed

    Our 2017 100D Model X suddenly started wobbling at low speeds and pulling really hard to the right. As the speed increases, the need to fight the pull lessens, but never quite goes away. Here’s a video of the issue: Any ideas what might be causing the issue? I turned off lane assist. We...

    Steering Wheel off center?

    Where are the hex screws for MS2014 window glass tilt adjustment

    I have found a number of videos showing how to align/adjust the window glass on a M3. Unfortunately the hex screws they mention do not exist on the 2014 MS. Is is possible to adjust the RH rear glass to eliminate wind whistle? If the hex adjustment screws don't exist on the MS, what other...

    Problem with Camber during alignment check

    I recently got an alignment done on my 2017 MS 75 at the Firestone that Facebook Tesla Group recommended. I bought the car used about 3 months ago from Tesla. After the alignment, the car is now pulling hard to the left. The tech at Firestone said the left camber is maxed out and this is the...

    Alignment in NW Indiana/Southwest Chicago burbs?

    Besides the Tesla dealership, which places do you go to for tire alignment? my 2018 LR M3 just got new cross climate+ from Costco (they had worked on other model 3 previously) after 28k on the oem tires, and I’ve read that after getting new tires is the best time to get an alignment. I’ve...

    New tires needed after less than 30k miles

    2018 long range dual motor. At FSD upgrade the service center told me that front tires are almost bald on inner edge due to wheel misalignment. I ended up replacing all 4 at Costco and did a 4-wheel alignment afterwards at another tire shop. I don't recall ever doing an alignment on Toyota...

    Trunk hatch scrapping side when opening

    Has anyone noticed this? When I open my MY trunk, it looks like the plastic light/reflectors on the hatch touch the passenger rear lights and makes a sound like it wants to get stuck. You can also see the hatch move sideways when this happens. This does not happen when I close it. My guess is...

    Bumper alignment issue?

    Is it normal for the older MS to have a gap between the bumper and the headlights. It doesn’t really show well on photos but you can that I can push the bumper to align it with the headlight. It’s not that bad on the facelifted s. I can’t really see any damage under the bumper either.

    Driver door chrome trim hits FWD chrome trim

    When I close my (driver) door, it makes a big "metal against metal" sound. I found out it's because the chrome trim runs into the FWD's trim. See attached picture. It didn't use to do that... Is there something that got out of alignment? Perhaps the position of the car when you close the FWD...

    Alignment @ non Tesla SVC - SoCal & I.E. areas

    Scored a set of used tires (90%) for a good price, my current tires seem to be wearing on the inside more. Has anyone done an alignment at other shops around SoCal? I'm assuming an alignment is not a "Tesla SVC" thing only. T.I.A.
