Can anyone recommend a wheel alignment business for the Model X In the Edmonton area

 

[MD-2000]

I see I had a typo. My fully charged to 80% is nominally 360 to 370, not 270.

Also, I recently took a road trip 130km by highway, at about 105kph in about 15C weather, so no heavy heat or a/c use. However, there was a headwind, maybe 30kph or more. I did put on the Aero hubcaps. Going out, I was using 4k for every 3k travelled, coming back it was almost exactly 1:1. We got home with 50km left , only the second time I'd seen the battery indicator turn orange.

So keep in mind, those of you on those also flat and windy Alberta and Saskatchewan plains it's not just temperature. It's also airspeed.

As suspected, alignment was out significantly which explained the early bad tire wear. For $150 it’s worth saving $1500 worth of tires. Should have done this right away after receiving the car.

Was the alignment out over the past 4 years (looking at your signature that you have a 2016 Model X), or was this a new Model X that was misaligned out of the factory?

I believe so. Factory alignment has been an issue in the past and I understand alignment can go out during shipping depending on how it's secured. Pots holes are a problem around here too but I'm still think a $150 on an alignment is well spent from day one.

So, work sent me out of town last week. After pulling out of Costco and heading out of the city, I swear I had a Model Y behind me. Blacked out chrome, looked taller than Model 3.

Where did you end up taking it for the alignment?

Rumor is Tesla bought Ericksen Infiniti's building, for a new potential store/service center in Edmonton. Can anyone corroborate?

If this is true, it is a great location.

This is exactly what happened to me with my first car (P85D) - rear tires lasted about 6,000km before going to the metal of the tires. Sure I launched it a lot but still they wore most on the inside - you couldn't even see the wear unless you looked all the way to the inside of the tires.
