How had is alignment?

[livesmith]

Can someone please confirm how difficult and alignment is for a 2015 model S 85d?

I know somebody sent me the official Tesla alignment procedure and there was all sorts of stuff involving setting air suspension computer stuff this and that.

But I thought I'd seen enough other posts that it was basically any alignment shop should be able to do it as a regular alignment just make sure the suspension is in the standard setting when they do it?

My usual good alignment shop that knows what they're doing said they don't want to do it because there's too many driver
assist systems that need to be reset.

Can you confirm for me that this isn't actually the case and they just think that it would be?

Thanks!

They turned away your business. Whatever the reason is, find another shop.

Any reputable shop can do it. I had Pep Boys do mine. Just call first as the first one I called declined. The second one said the first shop’s alignment book was probably just old.

I've had mine done by one of the local Mavis shops (they other declined saying they didn't have a Tesla trained tech at the time) as well as a local independent shop. Neither had any problems doing the work nor said anything about it being at all unusual.

I would agree with the previous poster, though. If a shop declines to do something, no matter how strange their answer sounds, go somewhere else, at least for that repair. Trying to convince someone to do something they have some strange reason to not want to is not likely to result in quality work.

Yep. I thought maybe my usual alignment place just thought there was more to it. But upon talking to my mechanic(who was the one talking to the alignment shop) he said they just didn't want anything to do with a Tesla and weren't going to touch it. Definitely drops my opinion of them a lot.
Oh well, found another slightly less local shop that said they're willing to do stuff other shops won't and have done a couple Teslas already.

So next is, what are the best alignment specs for maximum tire life? The Macsboost adjustable camber arms should be going in today.

This will not allow the OP to edit the TITLE, which I believe was his question.
