It is displayed in degrees and minutes, most high end vehicle manufacturers require this. It allows for more precision and an overall better alignment outcome. Some may not care or state that it doesn’t matter. I do care and prefer to do it right.

I have aligned many Teslas including 5 CTs and they all were out from the factory.

Those readings wouldn’t fly in my shop. 1st, the machine should be set up to display in degrees and minutes (60 min = 1 degree) and the only the toe is adjustable. The rear looks close but I would have taken it to 0 min of thrust. The front is bizzare, why send out that sloppy. Sorry, but they...

Fyi, the labor times posted in SI are not realistic, they are BS!

It is performed at medium. I performed a sweep of the camber/toe change and didn’t see anything alarming. I’ll see if I can find the chart and share it here. it’s also important that they perform the ride height calibration step or all of the alignment exercise is all for not. note...

I’d love to see the data on this. I’m a tech and can remote into your vehicle and pull CAN logs to have a look if you’d like. It will take some effort but I’m game for investing my time to see what was happening during this event and share it with the group here. Please PM me your Tesla...

I recently delivered a tech session for the California Automotive Teachers Association and shared a few metrics on this. It's only 4° but I wonder what their measured gain was? I'd love to see what the Cd values were before and after in the wind tunnel.

I'm a mechanic and would love to learn more about this failure. If you're interested in learning more PM me your VIN and email and I can submit a request through tesla to take a look at the CAN LOGS and errors for more detail.

I've seen many vehicles leave the factory with less than ideal alignment. The CT requires a multi-step process to ensure that the alignment is set properly which begins with a ride height calibration. I've performed a few alignments on the CTs and they all were out of spec. My vehicle was on the...

Did they provide you with the before and after data from their alignment equipment? The straight ahead offset can be helpful but only after the vehicle has been driven and the system has had enough data to establish the straight ahead offset., Attached is what my vehicle shows after the...

Most vehicles leave the factory with alignment issues. I had my truck on the alignment rack right after delivery and it was indeed off.

Thanks for the update, be sure to ask about the fluid level check to see if you need to take any action. And can you share with us what version you were running when the fault surfaced? Thanks, Scott

Faults are set for all 3 drive units. It’s not uncommon for Tesla to trigger a bunch of faults when only one issue surfaces. I looked for anything common that could fault all three and the only commonality I could see is the shared ground for the rear units. At this point, loading the faults up...

Browsing through these faults, they all appear to be related to the oil pump(s). There is a 48v pump located in each drive unit controlled via LIN. When you first begin rolling the vehicle forward (or back) the oil pumps are commanded to spin up. During start up, current, stall current/motor...

One must follow SI as they if you are a certified aviation technician in the armed forces. And if you don’t, you will be penalized. I recently delivered instruction for college instructors on how important proper procedures are especially with a 45v MV system...

Thanks for the kind words and I’m happy we were able to get your truck set up. Thanks again! Scott

My vehicle wasn’t aligned to ideal values from the factory. Cheap insurance to have it checked but the alignment procedure is specific and the shop performing these steps need to be able to carry them out appropriately. If it’s off then getting the values correct can extend tire life.

We can do this for you. We’re about 30 miles NE of DTLA. https://www.connieanddicks.com/tesla_vehicle_service_claremont/

Need more info: At what vehicle speed can this be reproduced? Can you reproduce the noise in reverse? Which side of the vehicle is the noise emanating from? What has been changed from stock? Did your mechanic check torque on fasteners? Caliper mount, control arms, etc?
