Crazy Tire Wear Pattern

[p3alseT]

Anyone seen a wear pattern like this on a Model3P and know what the cause is? All 4 tires were like this..

These are factory tires from 2019. Michelin. But something is rubbing or interfering somewhere..

My buddy had this happen to his M3P and it was due to a bad alignment from the factory.

Would start there

 

[The Other Dan]

Too much toe out.

 

[Tdriver]

Under inflation or too much negative camber or toe out or a combination .

 

[Occhis]

Too much toe out.

Yes

Have you alignment done and show us the before and after. It will tell the real story.

Here is the alignment. I don't really know numbers for scale, but it does look like Toe was a problem. Its kinda hard to tell because I don't know what numbers they are shooting for (all zeroes?) but doesn't it look like in the after pictures Tesla has kinda done a crappy alignment?

The "After" or "Current Measurements" look fine - that's what the factory alignment specs call for.

Your toe was certainly all over the place. I imagine you didn't have the tires rotated or an alignment performed prior to this?

How many miles are on the tires?

Looks like the main issue was rear toe, it's what can be called "fooked". Glad you got an alignment. Rotating tires wouldn't have solved anything other than ensuring all tires are worn out evenly and very quickly. If the reading's correct, before the alignment were you turning the steering slightly to the left in order to keep the car going straight?

I'd say either something was loose, there was some impact damage or Tesla did a terrible job aligning the car.
