I notice this after alignment. The shop mentions it could be the way Tesla mounted the rear subframe. Is this possible? I have never heard of experience this before.

Yeah never seen anything like that. I'll check out my Fremont 2022M3LR when I get home.The alignment spec looks almost even. Could it be uneven body work from factory? I have never heard of this situation from a new car before.
Holy crap. This is really a thing?! I scheduled service request. Hopefully Tesla won’t brush me off.I had this problem before on a brand new BMW M4, the rear subframe was shifted half an inch, all we had to do was loosen the bolts and shift the subframe a quarter of an inch… I bet you its the same problem… If the bolts are stretch I suggest replacing them.
Damn. Now you're making me go out to my driveway with some calipers...This is super common with the model 3. I believe that almost every single one has an offset shift due to rear subframe. I know that the companies that make custom wheels for the 3 are aware of it.
Ive seen more than a couple 3's (mine included) with a roughly 3-5mm shift in the rear subframe. Mine is off by 3mm. Noticed it when I changed wheels the second time. The second set of wheels I bought didn't have the pocket for the rotor lip. I put 5mm spacers on and it rubbed on the drivers side but not the passenger. I have a 5mm spacer on the passenger and a 3mm spacer on the drivers side now
That's so weird. I guess I wouldn't notice with the aero wheels since mine are sunk in. I'll have to measure. Visually mine look fineThis is super common with the model 3.
