Do it yourself. It's easy and fast. Buy a set of pucks and a jack. Although will cost about $150-200 up front, will make that up over time. And you get the joy of working on your car.

Newly tightened lugs can loosen, so almost all tire shops have it written on the invoice that you need them re-tightened after 50 miles or something similar. If you have a torque wrench, you can check yourself, 129ft-lbs.What is the torque check?

That’s not across the country. I’m almost positive the Nashville one is 175 an hr.Actually, it is now $195/hr as noted on my paperwork from this morning's S/C visit (I didn't have to pay anything, I just noted the rate).

Thank you Captain ObviousChecking the torque
I'm probably going to get yelled at for this, but I know my weight so I stand on the wrench at the correct distance ...Newly tightened lugs can loosen, so almost all tire shops have it written on the invoice that you need them re-tightened after 50 miles or something similar.

Just called my local service center for a tire rotation quote. Can we all agree that is a completely absurd price?
Guess I won’t be taking it in to Tesla. Jiffy Lube refuses to work on it because it’s a Tesla so I have to find an independent shop.
Page 136 of the most current owner’s manual:
• “Rotate tires every 10,000-12,000 miles
(16,000-20,000 km) or if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm)”
Previous versions of the owners manual recommended tire rotation every ~6K miles
Did they take out the lug caps for you or you did it yourself?
If you have the aero wheels
I take them off for Discount Tire. They do it for free. I take the 5 minutes to pull them. I do the torque check a week later myself. They as others have noted know I am coming back.
Went to America’s Tire and they charge $40 for spin rebalance and rotation.
Not sure why others are claiming Discount Tire does this for free. It was clearly marked as a $40 service in their inventory and everyone that came in the door while I was their was billed for their service. Maybe their policy is not consistent between stores? Seems odd for such a large chain.
Why not, if you can do the math, know your weight, and mark the wrench at the correct spot, setting it perpendicular to the ground, without bouncing, why not.I'm probably going to get yelled at for this, but I know my weight so I stand on the wrench at the correct distance ...
