And I recommend that you set your rear toe at 0.2-0.25 each side to combat the dynamic toe instead of setting them merely“in spec”. No aftermarket equipment needed.

Looks like a toe issue

He wears equally because he’s addressed his alignment…

Like you, I initially thought the tires were the culprit. However the more I read and understood all the variables my opinion changed. The main driver of that change was understanding the effect dynamic toe change upon acceleration had on the stress the tire was put under and how they could be...

What exactly are you guys disagreeing with? There is indeed a retrofit of what looks like OEM stalks, which are Mercedes by the way, available for $500. I’ve been enjoying your crusade for dictating what Tesla should sell….

I also have never had a false alarm on sentry. Perhaps it’s picking up on an infrared light like from a remote control or camera system that you can’t see.

I'm running 1.2 all around and am actually wearing more on the outside of my fronts with very even on the rear. If you are doing anything but hypermiling then it's not too much. Way too little for actual track time.

if that's in medium height it's not enough toe to compensate in low when it squats and toes out. I see that it's in low, but still concerned what toe actually becomes under load. Tesla set mine to 0.2 after my track pack install so they do know something. I've reduced that since I have lower...

Camber by itself will induce normal camber wear. It’s the negative dynamic toe in addition to the camber that shreds the tire.

If you aren’t going to listen to or understand any of the conversation here… then good luck in your crusade.

Apologies if you’ve posted, what are your rear toe settings?

I know you’ve read this a dozen times…. if you set the toe slightly positive it will counteract the suspension’s tendency to toe out drastically on launch which, combined with negative camber is what stresses the tire. Yes, the Michelins are more sensitive to this, doesn’t mean they are defective…

Yes, just the first 25 delivered at the launch event

Different suspension, different problems

They can, ask me how I know

Typically $125-150 so why even bother with diy on a $1200 wheel?

Carbon wrapping is for high RPM to allow 200mph top speed on S Plaid. Not necessary on the 3

Difficult at best to quantify unless we know what speed you intend to drive and what offset you choose. Even then I would say negligible and shouldn’t even be a consideration

Center bore hasn’t changed. I don’t think they will work without issue without a spacer. The front rim will be 24mm closer to the suspension

Kinda like don’t keep your finger on the trigger of a handgun?

I doubt there’s an off the shelf tubing solution with a wall thickness thin enough to work.

That’s because they don’t have inventory, the wheels are custom. They are made after you decide on specs.

Ok, what’s the right offset?

Was that your last Tesla in your garage? All gone now?

Is it possible to reinstall just a partial rear window? I joke…. Hopefully it’s right this time

Seems my car doesn’t suffer from the root cause of the vibration the software is masking

For most of its life, yes. They’ve been off a few times for short periods. I doubt the root cause is wear due to height though

It’s a wow that I put 33,000 miles on my car in over 2 years?

Like 33,000

My August 2021 Plaid has never had even a hint of vibration at any speed. Many are skeptical of my claim but I welcome anyone in SoCal to try it themselves.

I haven’t ventured anywhere it didn’t… 😂

Air in lines would cause a squishy feeling and extra travel distance. Incomplete burnishing makes more sense.

initial bite has improved, I don’t think they were completely burnished on delivery

You order it through the app, I’d count on about a month wait. 2 days to install.

Those software changes were driven by hardware changes that previous versions can’t do, therefore they don’t get it.

Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge and keeping your feelings out of it.

Can't really disagree with someone's reading comprehension skill, but ok. I get your sentiment. This started when I posted that the the issues of a 2012 S are not the same as the Refresh. You disagreed. How is that possible to disagree with? You think the refresh suffers from the same issues as...

Buckets, what exactly are you disagreeing with, or are you just trolling a response? Previous gen and refresh suspensions aren’t the same. Camber is desirable Toe out is bad Refresh has soft bushings Tires aren’t defective

Once again, the previous generation had a lot of camber which caused tires to wear out in 15,000 miles. This is a completely different issue than the refresh suspension that has a dynamic toe problem which causes scrub on the inside of the tires under hard acceleration, causing them to split in...

Are you mental? I’m not trying to blame camber I like a healthy amount of camber all around. refresh suffers from some flexy bushings. on acceleration it squats and toes out. With the soft bushings setting the toe in a bit compensates for that defect.

That’s exactly what i said it is, mainly a toe problem, unlike the previous gen which just had camber wear. why did you disagree with me?

The issue is different

Back when they delivered 135 cars a day

I just have to say that a Plaid with track pack is in a completely different universe than a 2015 P85D....

That's the recommended pressure

Happy to see people are catching on.

There was a CF shortage in 2021. Tesla offered many new plaid buyers the option to get wood trim to expedite delivery.

Um, windshields are all double paned, have been for decades.

I'm sure Tesla Plaid Channel installs his updates and would report back a sudden change in quarter mile times. Can we stop reaching for straws?

I think Sorka is struggling to understand different power delivery profiles at different throttle positions. It's common with internal combustion engine control and easy to apply with electric motor control as well. No one is complaining about a little vibration under full power so no need to...
