Alignment specs for 2020 LR AWD?

[grmdl3]

Does anyone have the correct wheel alignment specs for this car? And are there any tricks I need to know about before it goes to a Firestone shop for an alignment? (e.g. weight on driver's seat, something to hold down brake pedal?)

Thanks in advance!

I found some specs here for the 2018, but nothing for the 2020. Is Tesla just keeping this data close to the vest?

 

[grmdl3]

Nothing, eh?

Okay, how about this: the vehicle has only about 1300 miles on it. Am I better off taking it to the Tesla SC and hoping they'll pay for the alignment (the camber seems pretty far off, just measured with a square), or should I go ahead and take it to Firestone and see about their lifetime alignment option?

Camber is not adjustable except for tiny amounts. If your camber is out enough for you to see it by eye, take it to the SC, something is wrong.

Correct. Only thing that's adjustable is toe. Which makes it 10x funnier when people pay the service center $240 for an alignment.

OK, thanks. That's what I was afraid of.

FWIW a square isn't really an accurate way to measure camber, especially if you're measuring against the tire. If you're not seeing weird tire wear or having it pull badly in one direction I think you're probably looking for a problem that's not there. If you are truly concerned though, either buy a proper camber gauge or take it to an alignment shop and have them check it for you.

There’s no reason to think the alignment specs have changed since 2018. Camber spec isn’t 0 so what are doing with a square?

front camber: -1.0 - -0.1
Caster: 4.7 - 6.7
Toe: -0.2 - 0.1

rear camber: -2.0 - 0.0
Toe: 0.05 - 0.35
