I'll let you know once I have it aligned, but the whole point for me was finding out if I needed to spend the $1,300 on camber + toe arms before paying for an alignment since it would be pointless if they can't get it to a reasonable spec on stock arms (only toe minimally adjustable) and then I...

I wouldn't say worthless. If a huge number of owners are having the same experience it helps us to understand that it is not a unique problem due to one person's alignment being off and likely requires aftermarket arms to correct. It also helps to hear things like how much running your...

Honest question though, I have seen several say this is because the 19" tires flex more, allowing the tread to sit more flat despite the alignment issues. Isn't that more likely than a tire brand problem since we're not comparing 2 brands of 21" tires?

I want to get camber and toe arms but they are super expensive for what they are. I'd still get them to save my tires but I am also worried about needing suspension work and Tesla blaming it on my camber arms / refusing to work on it. I read in one thread they told a guy they would reinstall...

Yeah that is weird. I have my car set to only go low above 60 but most of my miles are on the highway. No suspension mods.

Yes. Any S with 21s from what I've seen. I sized down to 20s to help but went with a wider wheel (10.5) which apparently cancelled out the helpful effect of a fatter/more flexible tire, because the wider tire is still concentrated on that one spot... which is worse because it's even farther away...

My S is not a plaid but I have the same issue. I switched tire brands to BFG last time and it does not appear to be Michelin related. I down sized to 20"s to help some but it had the opposite effect because they are 10.5" wide with wider tires, which I think exacerbated the alignment issues by...

Here's what mine look like on both sides with 285/35s on 20" x 10.5" in the back

As @unk45 said above though, isn't this more due to the additional give in the 19" tire that allows it to sit flat against the ground and less to do with the tire brand? I experienced terrible inner wear on my 20x10.5s in the back (2017 90D) with a BFG tire, which I think is more because my tire...

Is this an actual Tesla Service Bulletin? I have a 2017 and it has the same issue, and from perusing the forum it looks like all remedies are ridiculously expensive because Tesla can't correct the camber + toe for my car without aftermarket arms, which they refuse to work on.

Near you. Are yours leather or cloth? Any photos?

When were they purchased? I assume it's been a while or you would still be within the return window. I'm interested, but the price would need to justify not ordering from Tesla directly for $500 with a full warranty period starting from the day of receipt.

It's wild that they are replacing these like air filters at their expense instead of developing a revised version that doesn't rapidly deteriorate. Wouldn't it be more cost effective, free up service centers, and prevent Teslas from driving around with cheap looking burnt out exterior lighting...

Thanks for the advice! I did exactly that and it looks awesome. The parts are currently infrared curing so I can cut/polish the clear coat. Most of it looks perfect already but unfortunately I got a couple of stray spatters and dust specks I want to remove. Did you cut or polish yours? If so...

Thank you for the tip! To clarify, the service center here is experiencing growing pains, but the people are great from what I've seen. They took care of my car and were attentive, friendly, and happy to discuss any questions I had. They just wouldn't budge on the yellowed light, which looked...
