As posted above it’s that 0.06 driver side rear toe likely causing that upon acceleration and the toe arm bushing flexing out.Another Happy Plaid owner. 10K miles and the rear driver side is gone.

Camber arms and lowering links going on as we speak. Will report back.
They are in stock in the right size...I just noticed Michelin had a new Pilot Sport EV tire. Interesting.

I know this is off topic, but I just put on 20” MO1 Pirelli pZ4 elect tires! So far I’m impressed in the last 2 days of thrashing around in 60 degree temps!And those are Mercedes marked tires. Anyone troll the Merc forum to see if they have any issues? I know there are differing dynamics (weight, power, alignment, etc.) but if it is a Michelin defect as some claim, the M01 would be susceptible to potential issues as well.
Yes, my shop aligned to their specs. I picked up the car yesterday, but don't have the alignment sheet yet. I will post it when I get it (most likely Tuesday). Car rides great, but I think the front may be a bit low for me.What numbers are you aligning it to? Hopefully N2itive's.
What setting are you running on the front links ? If you change now you will throw your front camber and toe numbers off.Yes, my shop aligned to their specs.

I told the shop I wanted -5 F and -6 R, but maybe they got it backwards. Yes, I realize the geometry will change if I raise or lower. Planned to bring back in for alignment anyway since the steering wheel is tilted to the left ever so slightly.What setting are you running on the front links ?

Easy fix for the steering wheel off center (left tilt). They will simply twist in the left front tie rod the equal amount of twist out on the right front tie rod to address that. If for any reason you get a steering wheel sensor error after you can cure that via the service menu.I told the shop I wanted -5 F and -6 R, but maybe they got it backwards.

Complete speculation here, but I wonder if this is potentially a far, far better for the Plaid?And those are Mercedes marked tires. Anyone troll the Merc forum to see if they have any issues?

Wow, I wonder if it would be the same for my P100D.Yes, my shop aligned to their specs. I picked up the car yesterday, but don't have the alignment sheet yet. I will post it when I get it (most likely Tuesday). Car rides great, but I think the front may be a bit low for me.

For reference, that is the low setting.Wow, I wonder if it would be the same for my P100D.
I'm about to do tires, alignment, and the N2itive install, so this is definitely helpful to see. I'm not trying to go THAT low lol.
Having the exact same issue - husband is trying to make it to the Tesla dealership now with a tire that appears to have a clean cut on the INSIDE of the tire that has sliced away the tread (almost like a retread) of a 1-year old Tesla Plaid with 21" tires. Both rear tires have just started to report issues with inflation. No over inflation, no sign of outside tread issue and when we pulled in to see if we had a nail or something else the issue is INSIDE the tire. Of course no one has a tire in stock but putting one on isn't going to fix this if the car is in fact ripping the tire to shreds.Hi Folks - 6500 miles in and rear tires show bizarre wear on the very most inside portion making them lose 5 psi every day. Not the usual camber issue all the old model S had. At service center and they said there is a bulletin saying this is a problem because the wheels are so wide and they are scraping some internal component. Tires look perfectly even in terms of wear no threads showing.
So it’s a factory defect apparently but of course warranty doesn’t cover it.
How is this legal or fair? Am I the only one experiencing this?
Alignment issue. But Tesla will say within spec.Having the exact same issue - husband is trying to make it to the Tesla dealership now with a tire that appears to have a clean cut on the INSIDE of the tire that has sliced away the tread (almost like a retread) of a 1-year old Tesla Plaid with 21" tires.

To clarify, that rear toe is toe 0.15 to 0.20 degrees toe in, right?Alignment issue. But Tesla will say within spec.
Rear Toe should be set at 0.15 to 0.20 degrees at the ride height most commonly driven in.
Rear Camber should be set at -0.75 to -0.85 degrees, at the height most commonly driven in. Aftermarket camber likely will be required for this.
I think that is far too much toe in. My alignment specialist also mentioned that to me - was at alignment today.Alignment issue. But Tesla will say within spec.

Call Michelin’s 800 number.
