$75.00 for a tire rotation!
- Thread starter timk225
- Start date
Stop complaining and get happily ripped off like a true fanboy!
Side note - On a car this advanced, they should have software that keeps track of when you're due for a tire rotation and notifies you when it's been 6250 miles since the last rotation.

Minis must use two sets of fronts for every set of rears without rotation

Clever and all. But $600 WITHOUT the jack if you want to put your car on 4 stands....

Remember to do a transmission flush every 4th oil change.Just get it done with your next oil change. Simple

My MB had staggered wheels and directional tires so couldn't rotate (without removing the tires off the wheels). The rear right tire wore out considerably faster than any other tire and had to replace the rear tires twice as often as the front tires.

I can't speak for the 3, but my RWD S60 wears the rear tires much more quickly than the fronts (I was surprised, but it is what it is). I drive a lot of steep hills and hairpin curves, so I get much less mileage out of tires than easy-does-it flatland freeway cruisers would. I would expect more even wear from AWD Teslas but have no experience with it.
Like some others here, I do my own rotations. Since I have only one floor jack, I use an extra wheel as a placeholder when doing the rotation. I also have a breaker bar, cross tire iron to spin off the nuts, and a torque wrench to tighten them correctly. It isn't a big deal to do.

I fixed this issue on my P85+ with adjustable camber links. 40,000 miles on the same set of tires and still going.
Installed adjustable rear camber links to reduce rear tire wear

That’s odd. I recently took my wife’s 2015 S60 AWD in for the 50k service and thought tire rotation was part of it. We bought the car used at 44k miles so that was our first Volvo service experience. I’ll have to go check and see if they did rotate them, perhaps I am assuming.

I'm cool with $75 tire rotations. I don't have the tools or space to do them myself, even if i knew what i was doing. Idk what the going price is for tire rotations though.

Discount tires does all their rotations for free. They do lots of Tesla’s and I’ve had mine done there lots of times. 900 locations in 29 states.
Last week they pulled a nail out of my tire and fixed it. All free.

If you have a Discount Tire in your city they are VERY familiar with putting the car in jack mode and the proper lug nuts torque. I take mine in all the time and never had any issues.
I agree but I also have a document that I was given at delivery that states the following:
Model 3 has been engineered to monitor consumption and wear-and-tear of service components, thus reducing the number of components requiring regularly scheduled maintenance or inspection. Currently only three items have scheduled maintenance intervals: tire rotation, brake fluid replacement and battery coolant replacement. Your Model 3 is designed to inform you when service is required for all other items. Please refer to the Owners Manual for recommendations, including daily and monthly checks that you can perform yourself.
Just did the tire rotation myself on our m3. Took about 1.5 hours because it's the first time I've ever done this. Had to read manual for floor jacks and used wrong tools so had issues. At the end, Turned out awesome and I'm Expecting under one hour front start to completion next time.

Confirmed, my wife’s 2015 Volvo S60 AWD did indeed receive a tire rotation at the 50k mile service visit. It says “high speed balance and rotation” and the cost was $60. Now perhaps Volvo has eliminated tire rotations on later model cars but for the 2015 they are still recommending them.

Wonder if it will tell you when the cabin air filter needs replacement?
