Fixed My Tesla Uneven Tire Wear - Secret-EV 

This is precisely why I only run 19’s on my ‘23 MSP as this is basically a non-issue. Plus you save $4.5k, get a 50ish mile range bump, thicker tire for better ride and pot-hole durability.

Once again one of your videos helps with my final decision… “Your are appreciated “- 2Pac voice

Good to know. Thanks for the info on the shop. I’m within 10 miles of there.

I have the same problem in the model 3 performance. I bought some cheap Megan racing camber arms and dialed it to 0 degrees of camber. So far so good!

Love the color of your Model X! 👍🏾

I have a 2019 Model 3 with the smallest tires they come with, I think they are 18s. My factory set I only got 30k miles on them but my second set is now at 40K and I still have at least 5k more miles to go if not 10k. Not sure why they are wearing so good but they are. I have only rotated them once too. They are Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

Gorgeous color on the Model X!

My 2020 Model 3 LR with the 19 inch wheels was just the same. Did get 70k kilometres (~43k miles) out of the originals though.

I'd be curious to see how the various ride heights of the Cybertruck affect the camber

It’s VERY disconcerting that an alignment tech would spread such blatantly incorrect information. 2° of negative camber is not a big deal at all. Your fronts has less than 1° of negative camber, which is fine. The front TOE is WAY too high, especially on a car that relies so heavily on alignment to help with range. That’s a toe spec that’s great for high speed stability but terribly for range and tire wear. Even I the rear, the camber isn’t bad. The toe on the right rear, where you had all that wear is WAY out as well. He also doesn’t know that adjusting camber or toe will affect the other. There isn’t “a chance” adjusting toe will change the camber, it will absolutely change the camber. Just like adjusting the camber changed the toe. He seems like a nice guy and he wants to make his customers happy, but not being able to rear tire wear to adjust the correct thing and not knowing how the adjustments affect each other would bother me a great deal. This is why I MUCH prefer to use race shops that built actual race cars. They have a far better understanding of what they’re doing and are more likely to really get your alignment spot on, even if they do charge 2-3 times more

@i1Tesla You didn't show this on camera however you may have done it. The air suspension is supposed to be cycled from medium to high from outside the car reaching in the window with the doors closed and by putting the brake pedal brace in place. Wait 15 seconds then put it back to medium then wait another 15 seconds then measure the ride height specifications. You also want to go to the alignment shop with no weight in your frunk or anywhere else in the car because the suspension will adjust on the corners with the weight and throw off the alignment machine readings. If the ride height tolerance is off as it was in the video the technician is supposed to repeat the steps and if it is still our of tolerance the ride height must be recalibrated. The steps are in the Tesla service manual and you need Toolbox 3 to complete the recalibration. Once the tolerance is accurate then you put the car in Jack Mode so the car doesn't auto correct during the alignment. These steps are in the Hunter instructions for the Tesla. The excessive inside tire wear issue is common on all wheel sizes and is especially bad on vehicles when the driver lowers the suspension to very low or low and accelerates hard. On 2016 to 2021 models that have the setting to "Never" lower when over a specific speed it should be turned to "Never" because the slight aerodynamic benefit at highway speeds won't save you enough range / electric cost to justify the cost of new tires.

I bought the Macsboost shims to fix the camber issues, going to install them this weekend and then get an alignment done. After 4K miles I can already see the edge of the tires wearing out, which is unacceptable and a complete waste of tires when there’s still so much tread left except on the edges.

All this hard work and when one of those pivot/joints wears out and you have to replace a component in 40,000 miles, good luck finding another shop that I can actually make it right.. we have 175,000 miles on our model S 2015 all-wheel-drive, that sucker needs almost every part replaced front and back at this point

Anyone have any recommendations for the SF Bay Area? 🤞🏾

Interesting technique as BMW also runs lots of negative camber for better handling, but of course it increases tire wear. I'm wondering if this type of shim exists for the Model 3, but for the opposite (more negative camber)? Model 3's actually can't get that aggressive negative camber for autocrossing without lowering the car or installing coilovers.

How much was install parts with alignment?

Your tech could play a Michael Keaton double lmao.

You mentioned on a scale of 1 to 10 its a 2. Im gonna try it in my driveway. Please share the link for the kit and share a video if installation.

Why not rotate left to right and dismount tires

Great video. I heard of this before. Does the Model 3 & Y performance have this issue as well?

Do you recommend the shims over an aftermarket camber arm?

Do you notice any difference in driving or cornering after this change?

Any places like this in Illinois?

Odd there isn't any factory adjustable camber on the rear when it is such a high end vehicle, I have it on my 2010 Pajero.

What are the thicknesses of the shims? .5 to 1.0 degree is probably sufficient. I wouldn't go to zero though.

Why don’t shops like this just have a box of shims already?

Do you know any shops in the greater Tampa Bay area that can do this?

I clicked the link for the shims, it shows it’s for 2021+ S/X; anyone know if these work with an older model S/X?

I have a 2017 model x and I'm having the same issue, can I use these shims on it or is there another way to fix the older models camber???

Can you recommend someone to install these in The San Francisco Bay Area?

toe settings eats tyre shoulders MUCH MORE than that little amount of camber

Do they make these for the Model Y? Got mine aligned yesterday and I'm negative 1.8 in the rear.

Can't find link?

Any discount codes?

Can you also talk about the increase and tire purchases because of the car being so heavy? I have a model three since 2018 and the issue that I came across was that I end up buying tires and ended up burning through them at 20,000 miles.

My S with only 8k miles is already bald on the edges. It’s ridiculous tbh

I don’t get it. Your toes are off. That’s the main wear for uneven tires

just rotate off the rim. remove, swap tires with rims, and rebalance. cost me about $60-70

Performance cars will have negative chamber for better cornering and tires naturally will wear inside faster. Even if you make any adjustments with horseshoes and etc… your tires will wear out fast regardless. 1. Your vehicle required high-performance summer tires. 2. You’re driving an EV (heavier car, instant torque, regen energy and etc..) if you going to go A/S tires, add whatever gimmicks toys to get longer tire life. Why don’t you just get regular ICE or Toyota Camry or Honda Accord those tires last long time. Moral of story: Pay to Play.

Found it Sorry...... ;
