Will Tesla service charge for this? I’ll have our ‘21 in this week for other things.
This isn't the best advice. Yes, always look at the tire wear and measure the tread depths. But regular rotations ensure even wears among all the tires. Tesla recommends front to back, back to front rotations, because it's easy to do but not the best way to rotate non directional tires. A cross pattern rotation is best. But then again Tesla also used to recommend rotations every 10,000 to 12,000. They did that to show how little routine maintenance their cars need, which was stupid. Tires wear no matter what vehicle they are on and all tires benefit from rotations every 6,000 to 7,000 miles. I've always done tire rotations myself because it's easy and takes no more than 30 minutes.Don't rotate them just because.
My M3 SR+ weighs 3616 lbs. My last car a Q50 hybrid was ~4100. Tires wore evenly. I never rotated them and got good life. Before that was a G8 GT. Just over 4000 lbs. I never rotated them on that car either because it would just chew them up no matter where they were. And no, it was not an alignment problem. There was even a service bulletin issued about that subject. I went through three sets by 55K miles. My '04 Accord coupe was pretty good on tires. About 30K good miles on performance all-seasons....Obviously with an EV tires wear out faster because the cars are heavier....
Only that you have to be sure that the local service center has a jack/hoist that can properly lift the car at the jack points without damage, and that they know to torque the lug nuts to 129 lb. ft (175 Nm).Is there any benefit to having the tires rotated at the Tesla dealership vs. the local service center I used before going Tesla.
And that's why ever Tesla owner should know this information and tell whoever does the rotation. But many tire stores and Costco will do rotations for free, even if you didn't buy tires from them.Only that you have to be sure that the local service center has a jack/hoist that can properly lift the car at the jack points without damage, and that they know to torque the lug nuts to 129 lb. ft (175 Nm).
