Too much toe out, then a lot of camber exacerbates the issue, and you get the photo of what you are seeingSee how deep the tread is on the outside/middle of the tire and the wear on the inside - both rear tires were the same way and the fronts no wear.
Unfortunately Teslas don’t come with any rear camber adjustment I recommend you buy a rear wheel camber kit about ($150 Amazon) installation $125 then, you can have a true alignment.Like many others, I had extreme wear on the inside of the rear tires. Even though I checked them regularly, I didn't see it as it was right on the edge, then I had them rotated and therefore ruined 4 tires with tons of rubber left.
Once I finally notice it, I brought it to Tesla for a 4 wheel alignment. I've attached an image of the alignment (they couldn't provide an electronic copy.) Would someone please comment if it all looks good? Don't want to ruin more tires.
I bought 2 tires for the rear, Goodyear OEM, since they were making so much noise, but I'm a little uncomfortable regarding how the tire shop changed the tires. They drove the car on a lift and used a built into the lift, a component that raises out of the lift and raised the car via the rear control arms. Is this just another approved method to remove tires?
Thank you.
I do not believe it is the responsibility of any consumer to need to purchase aftermarket equipment for mass produced cars in order for it to work correctly. That is the responsibility of the manufacturer.
I’m not angry at all I fix it, I’m happy and enjoying the Car & life of the tiresYou can be angry about it the entire time you own your car, and complain for years. You'll burn through multiple sets of tires which cost more than the solution, and receive no restitution for it.
Not a single person here is going to disagree that Tesla should have adjustable arms from the factory. We just understand the energy, resources and effort required to change that is exponentially more than if you just install one of the fixes yourself.

All good chill.
I need to make a correction. The tires were rotated a number of times so even though I first noticed it in the rear, I then noticed it in the front as well so I may be mistaken and not know exactly whether the front or rear caused the problem. Extremely sorry for my confusion.What you just said doesn't jive at all with the OP: "Like many others, I had extreme wear on the inside of the rear tires."

I am also dealing with the same issue. $3000 in tires with 24,000 miles on a 2.5 year old car. That works out to greater than $100 in tire wear for 1000 miles I drive. That is not acceptable at all. Turned out my very late 2020 Tesla S Performance car, the rear bolts had fallen out of the control arms and toe controllers. $2800 in damages that Tesla didn't want to warranty. Absolutely it is a factory defect. Absolutely, Tesla needs to be held accountable for tire wear. They know about it.
