I've done 2 alignments in 4 months, since I was in an accident and then at Tesla for Service, where I specifically asked for alignment as I didn't trust the body shop with their work. if I can't trust Tesla SC to do the alignment according to specs or make the correct adjustments on the the suspension, how does that makes it my fault? I can't go every week to check my alignment and make sure it has the correct settings.
I'll review the other topics on the subject, speak and drop the wheels at Tesla and see what happens from there.

I don't have the numbers on the alignment, doesn't show it on my sheet when I got the car from Tesla. Thanks for your input!
I didn't mean to suggest it was your fault. Just wanted to emphasis, which you clearly understand, that alignment is critical.
My issue with Tesla service and the reason I use a local shop for alignment is that now that I've installed adjustable rear camber links Tesla service refuses to align my car. Given that the adjustable links make the rear camber setting much easier to refine this seems strange but nonetheless I'm forced to live with it. But I should note that since I installed the links and had my local shop do the alignment, tire wear is far less, so much so that it no longer concerns me. I have the alignment checked each time I change the wheels, once in the winter and once in the spring.
Another matter that's often not discussed is the height the car is set to for driving. The low setting increases tire wear. So if a car is set to automatically lower at speed it will have greater tire wear. As I've lowered my car, I never have it in the low setting at speed.
