What could be making my Right Rear tire wear so much more quickly than the others?

Tesla has aligned the car 3 times in 12 months (twice at Tesla Cleveland, once at Tesla Columbus) and it is still pulling to the left. All local shops wont or cant work on Model S (including Firestone that so many here seem to use for alignments). Im so tired of turning right to go straight. Been driving like this for a year.

Also if anyone knows of a shop in the entire state of Ohio that knows how to align a Model S, please let me know. At this point Im willing to travel the entire state.

the stock rear alignment is a joke get yourself some N2itive arms and then get it aligned. Only problem is tesla wont do an alignment with aftermarket arms on it. So you need to find an indy shop that'll align it for you.

For example out in So-Cal I use 714 tires and they do a great job and its only like $150 for a 4 wheel alignment. Look around at performance and speed shops usually those types of places know how to do *sugar* or are eager to learn.
If you want to help out a shop that doesn't know tesla specifics check out fixyourtesla.com you cant go there on that link because tesla made them take down the manuals. but if you go through the wayback machine you can use their save from aug 2021 and then go to the alignment page and it goes through the procedure for doing an alignment. I'd post a link to that exact page but on my work computer and the wayback machine page is blocked.

How old is the car / how many miles? Suspension issues, bushings, ball joints, even cracks in the drive unit mounts could cause something like this.

2017, 77k miles. They've already done a ton of work to all those parts - about $4k worth. The problem still exists.

Is this the information you are referring to? Would a local shop be able to align the car with this information?

yeah that'll help them so they know the procedure if they don't already know it. but for the specs the tesla specs are *sugar* the specs from N2itive are gonna get you a better alignment
