    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    In other news, I am at a Tesla Service Center right now. They are unwilling to do the alignment in "low" suspension mode. They said they have to do the alignment in "standard" mode. I pointed out that the car has an option to "default to low mode", which would make "low" the standard, but they...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    I got in touch with Michelin. They requested that I take the damaged tire to one of their approved shops for an inspection. Immediately when I showed the inspector the tire he said, "You got a major alignment issue." He is reporting this information back to Michelin. I am hoping that Michelin...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    Same story here. I had a very slow leak in my right rear tire. It was losing about 1psi every 3 days. I took it to a local shop. They did a leak test and everything looked fine. On a road trip, I get a notification that the right rear is getting low. It’s down to 30psi and dropping about 1psi...

    Popping Noise - Front Wheel Area

    I have the same issue. I scheduled a service appointment and Tesla cancelled it. They told me that this is normal for the vehicles with the 21" Arachnids. It is caused by the differences in toe when the steering is at the extremes. Obviously, this is not what I want to hear, but it is what it is.

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    My 2021 Model S just shredded the inner band of the right rear tire at 20k miles. Right rear had a super-slow leak. So, it was at about 36psi when I got on the highway. That, in combination with the camber & toe issues plus it being highway speeds and low-mode on the suspension probably led to...

    2021 Model S Long Range - Red Multi-Coat, FSD, XPEL PPF - $107k

    @Jphurd11 I was saying that new ones don't deliver until then. This one is available right now, though I am sad to see it go - especially considering FSD is about to go up another $2k. Send me a DM if you would like to discuss.
