I think I counted 27 tire rotations in that list. Apparently your alignment is whack if you need to replace all-seasons, but what's with all the rotations? Seems like you get the tires rotated every 300 yards?
And then you get somebody like me who had the
original factory MXM4s live up front for their entire almost 28K and 5 year life.
The rear set was replaced some time ago when I got a puncture in one and they both had worn down and was close to end-of-life. So, 28K for front set and probably 14K on each pair in the back. Now got a set of Potenza RE980AS+ on the car. Not that much noisier than the Michelins but I have noticed an uptick in my energy usage in the last several weeks (maybe it's the way I accelerate
through corners). I've set a trip odometer to note how many miles I put on the new rubber and the energy consumption that goes along with it.
As far as my service history goes, nothing too out of the ordinary. In no particular order:
- Upon driving off from the delivery center I noticed that the TPMS wasn't registering. A couple of back-and-forth messages with service solved that problem.
- Later on I had problems with installing software. It would download fine but then fail to install. Again, a bit of messaging with service and an OTA re-format of the SD card fixed that.
- I lost the parallelogram thingy that allows the charge port door to open when pressed. Superglued the replacement in.
- Got HW3 installed in my driveway.
- Cabin filters replaced.
- Pro-active 12V battery replacement just short of 4 years old.
- The usual service bulletins for the front upper control arm reseal, the deadfront pins in the charge port, a hood latch issue (apparently didn't need it adjusted), but still waiting on the trunk lid harness (rear camera problem).
- I had the driver side rear window adjusted at the Santa Clara Service Center as it had tilted towards the back of the car so that it was hitting the edge of the rear quarter window.
- Basically a walk-up service at the Santa Clara center for a puncture repair. This was the first nail/screw I got in the LR tire. The second nail/screw did that tire it in. Yea, that's right... two punctures in the same tire. Probably my habit of hugging the yellow lane marker line when allowing motorcyclists to lane split.
No problems with interior door switches, exterior door handles delaminating, water getting into the tailights, headlight / running light issues, HVAC, smelly sock odors (filters were replaced at 3 years but only because I had a free set ready to go and not due to any smells), sticky doors, sticky windows, drivetrain problems, suspension noises.
I do continue to get mildly peeved at the way that the audio system just plain forgets that I was listening to the USB stick. Almost every time I get in the car, the "select source" message is displayed so I have to hit the right scroll button and say "switch to you ess bee". If only it was that easy; I often have to press the button
several times before connectivity is established.
