Thermal Camera Video showing the tire ware and tire heat build up.

@randompersonx, alignment and wear are less of a concern for the cars made in the last ~1.5 yrs. The rear suspension has been improved with stiffer bushings and dimensional changes such that negative camber is in spec and there is less flex in the suspension components. Some owners of older MSs have had these updated parts installed with good results (~$5k). Others install longer aftermarket camber links to reduce negative camber and adjust for less toe in (~$1.2k). These options work for the older MSs to reduce inner shoulder tire wear, but they are not necessary for the newer cars.
Looking forward to seeing your pics!

If KevinMS is correct about the upgraded parts resulting in the same heat pattern as I see as compared to what was shown in the OP's video, I think it would easily pay for itself in a short amount of time if you have 21" Z rated tires...

These pictures are after driving 140 miles -> supercharger -> 140 miles -> home, with plenty of driving >75MPH with an average WH/Mile of 503 WH/Mi (read: very spirited driving)
