At 68k miles, no doubt your alignment has changed, as spring/struts break in and relax. When you get new tires, it's customary to have the alignment checked. Ask them NOT to modify the settings, and get a printout from them and post it here.

It might be interesting to know how your alignment is dialed in. Maybe that's the secret. :) PSI? Kept at 42psi?

87% highway? I guess that's the secret. 86% or below, and the life of the tire drops dramatically... 🤣 I'm curious. Do you live adjacent to all your "highway" driving? Do you ever punch the throttle, or do you always just idle up to highway speed? Do you routinely travel the speed limit...

What was the original question? :eek:

Seriously? You won't get any help without a general location. There's zero security risk.

crunchor: Where are you located?

I would never buy ANY vehicle that doesn't have a service department reasonably close by. It isn't exclusively a Tesla thing.

What are you talking about? There's nothing anywhere near the trunk button. I don't understand your point. I have a very real complaint about the Homelink setup, since my gate and garage buttons are very close to each other, and initially I would push them in the wrong sequence. My solution...

Disagree. It is unreasonable to open the hatch, or your car's door, w/o understanding how wide it will open.

JDThomas: Thank you for your information about your Subaru. Door lengths, hatch lengths, etc. aren't ever going to be engineered to accommodate every possible scenario. For instance, 2-door car doors are much longer than 4-door car doors. It isn't "poor design." I shopped for minivans 2...

Show me any other SUV that has a different design. It's universal. Tesla provides the ability to modify the opening height.

On the outside? Doubtful. ALL car manufacturers recommend against rain repellants, in the washer fluid, because of past history of clogging or fouling washer fluid pumps.

I have free nights, 8:00pm-6:00am. We do laundry, dishwasher, Tesla charge, during those times. We pay a higher rate during daylight hours. The average rate we pay is virtually identical to if we paid a single rate. The ONLY way we would see any difference would be if we turned EVERYTHING off...

When my brakes start squealing while in reverse, first drive of the day, I do the following. Overnight charge to 100%. Early morning, drive to a long downhill (there's one adjacent to my community) that has zero traffic. Accelerate to 55-60, then brake heavily almost until full stop. Loop...

crunchor: There's nothing unusual about Tesla glass. There must be something on your glass that needs to be removed, and the cleaner you're using obviously isn't working. A qualified auto detail, or body shop, should be able to help you.
