P100D tire wear vs older PXXD cars

My tires wear very evenly with no rotating front to rear. (Had to edit to avoid the inevitable "Of course they don't wear if they never rotate")

I am driving a Dec 14, '16 S P100D L with 21" larger in rear.
I race every chance I get, I am famous for my cannonballs to Vegas and back. I put a total of 25,000 on my first set with a lot 1/8 to 1/4 mile at a time. I didn't need to change into a new set of Michelin pilot super sports but I did run over a screw at Grattan raceway and to me the matched set, while still road worthy, are not race worthy. So new tires all around.
So, mine lasted 25G in my road and track conditions. Over the wintertime I did go in for her 1st service which was my 2 year. Alignment and rubber + other fiddly bits later (0 cost, all warranty) and I was ready to race home... I live in Michigan, but I gladly drive for Tesla specialist attention.
Thanks Tesla ppl, I love you all.

I've never had uneven tire wear on either my "square" Turbines or "staggered" Arachnids on our March 2015 built Ludicrous 2015 P85D+ with SAS )and the Plus Suspension) in 47,000 miles of driving.
However my buddy who had a 2014 P85+ went through rear tires FAST due to excessive rear tire wear.

I got 38K miles out of my original P85DL tires and another 32K miles out of the Pilot Sport A/S+ that replaced them.
My negative rear camber went from -1.4 to -1.7 over 70K miles.
I then lowered the car 1" which made the -1.7s go to -2.1s. I then fixed that by installing BBC Speed Machine solid adjustable links. Now I'm at -1.3 on both rears

Pretty close to sorka, but I have a write up coming on the Electrified Garage bushings install (by me). -2.1 and -2.3 was eating rears, of a 1" lowered coil car (~Low SAS). The bushings knocked a little more than 1 degree out, which as others have said about the machined arms, is all you will get before running out of compensating toe adjustment. Worth it, so far.
These cars go negative as they drop, at about 1 degree per inch. I don't know the ride height change between high and low SAS, but am skeptical Tesla would have added any hardware that could change this geometry. Otherwise, they would have to supply cars with zero camber at the High setting (somewhat dangerous, but even wear).
Most likely, people reporting better wear are running higher and/or staying in alignment. Oddly, I think the CV joint problems save tires
