PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Alignment

[Pianewman]

With a 4WD, 400+hp, 4400lbs vehicle, it's a very wise thing to VISUALLY inspect all 4 tires on a regular basis, regardless of its straight tracking.

I'm surprised by the number of posters who come here AFTER thousands of miles of driving with unevenly worn tires, asking for tire warranty replacement, or blaming Tesla for a design flaw.

Inspect your tires. Uneven wear can be seen/felt very early, prior to trashing a tire.

Most owners also assume the alignment will be spot on when the car is brand new fresh from the factory. The 'within spec.'' alignment values on these cars allow a lot of latitude, especially with toe, which is the usual culprit when it comes to uneven tyre wear.
