Aftermarket wheels should have nothing to do with the alignment, assuming there's nothing wrong with the wheels.They won’t touch it Or they won’t cover it since you modified it?
Not everyone modifies their car to drive like Mario Andretti. I'm looking at getting a Mountain Pass Performance suspension upgrade simply to make it ride better (on my way to church on Sunday.)You can hardly blame the companies. I mean who puts a lowering kit, wider tires, different springs, etc. on a car to drive to the market on Wednesday and church on Sunday.
Some folks chose to upgrade their suspension setup with coilovers, yet many people don't know they require rebuild/overhaul every 2-3 years with normal use and shorter interval for some off road/track use, which will cost $$$.Aftermarket wheels should have nothing to do with the alignment, assuming there's nothing wrong with the wheels.

OP: Let us know what happens. Having something like this happen twice tells me there's some underlying issue that's causing it. Hopefully the SC can figure it out.
To add to the misery, a lot of those sell their stock parts thinking they'll never need them again. Rebuild time is usually weeks if you're lucky on top of transport not to mention the cost.Some folks chose to upgrade their suspension setup with coilovers, yet many people don't know they require rebuild/overhaul every 2-3 years with normal use and shorter interval for some off road/track use, which will cost $$$.
The OP didn’t just change tires/rims. He changed the entire rear end suspension.Aftermarket wheels should have nothing to do with the alignment, assuming there's nothing wrong with the wheels.

My comment was referring to @Thefourphans who only had after market wheels, not suspension.The OP didn’t just change tires/rims. He changed the entire rear end suspension.
Where do you get that information? The research I've done says good coilovers should last much longer.Some folks chose to upgrade their suspension setup with coilovers, yet many people don't know they require rebuild/overhaul every 2-3 years with normal use and shorter interval for some off road/track use, which will cost $$$.
I guess you are not into race/track/high performance suspension modification side of the world.Where do you get that information? The research I've done says good coilovers should last much longer.
The first link is for motorcycles.I guess you are not into race/track/high performance suspension modification side of the world.

rear motor blew the pyrotechnic charges to cut power to the rear motor. My friend had this exact same thing happen to him 2 months ago. Call tesla service, tow car, and let tesla do their thing. ask for a loanerSooo I was driving and all of the sudden the was a decent bang when I accelerated in the rear and the back lifted like I drove over something and immediately my speed got limited to 37mph and within a second it put me in neutral, cut the power to the motors, told me to pull over safely and get towed for service. Tow truck driver said it might be that I blew my differential. Any one had this happen to me there’s 7500 miles on the model y performance. I have the MPP kw suspension and upper control arms on it with endlinks and UP sway bars.
The picture below were the last warnings I saw.
Yea exactly it’s wasn’t a terrible neighborhood. It was In Korea town in Los Angeles getting Kbbq with a couple friends but I ended up in a bad little culdecas when I rolled into it when the car put me into neutral after the fuse blew. Then yes there were sketchy people hanging out in this culdesac. Lol just broke down in an unfortunate spot.I had to re-read Michav717's post. I THINK what he's saying is his car broke down while he was traversing a "bad neighborhood" and THEN it broke down. making him "...stuck in a bad neighborhood...for 2.5 hrs..."
Yea it’s definitely a bigger picture issue here they’re for sure gonna have to give me a solid answer now.Aftermarket wheels should have nothing to do with the alignment, assuming there's nothing wrong with the wheels.

For many traditional dealerships the service department is the many source of income so there's often pressure to sell more services. I don't know what the financial model is for Tesla service centers but it's likely somewhat different.They're called Stealerships for a reason. Think of them like insurance companies. Their sole purpose is to take your money and do everything they can to not to give it back.
It's about realistic expectations. Tesla is no different from any other manufacturer.
They’ve been pretty cool to me. If anything my aftermarket wheels and parts have only helped me out.They're called Stealerships for a reason. Think of them like insurance companies. Their sole purpose is to take your money and do everything they can to not to give it back.

I'd suggest you find a better neighborhood to get your meth.Sooooo. It happened again. Got stuck in a bad neighborhood last night in LA for 2.5 hrs in my car. In the middle of a road. Luckily it was a dead end road I had rolled into. There was legit people smoking meth next to my car.
I know I should switch to crack instead huh?I'd suggest you find a better neighborhood to get your meth.
They have to get approval from Tesla Corporate for warranty work. They don't for 'services'.For many traditional dealerships the service department is the many source of income so there's often pressure to sell more services.

Service techs working on commission? That makes no sense. And I haven't seen anything that indicates that the service advisors work on commission either. Sales advisors can get bonuses for selling certainly inventory vehicles (or at least, used to) but I've seen nothing about service advisors. Got a link?They have to get approval from Tesla Corporate for warranty work. They don't for 'services'.
Tesla, GM, Ford, etc... are all the same. The Service Techs upsell because they work on commission. Can't blame them because they gotta feed their family but it creates a situation where the customer gets screwed.
