Just wondering if anyone who has picked up their Cybertruck has taken it to an alignment shop to have the alignment as delivered from the factory looked at? Since Tesla is pretty well known for lots of negative rear camber on the S and X, I was curious if anyone has had it checked out? Thanks...

Curious about this; since it’s entirely steer by wire toe in would be a software align; camber might be adjustable but probably not in a traditional manner. Best left to a Tesla shop.

I can tell you from experience that if you have an S with 21 inch wheels or an X, you'll need to add rear adjustable camber arms to avoid eating the inside of the rear tires. I had -2.79 degrees and -2.81 degrees of negative camber on the rear of my X that I corrected. My understanding is that Tesla designed it this way on purpose for better handling and cornering, but it eats tires...

Anyone with a Cybertruck had it checked?

I should go to my local tire shop and ask if they can put it on their rack and get the numbers. that is, assuming he's willing to put it on the rack...I wonder if the specs have even been released/updated in Hunter or what not

I clicked through the service manual (section 3100 or something like that) and it looks like toe is manually adjusted. let's see if this link works

Just read the alignment service manual. Definitely something only a Tesla shop should do. Can’t imagine Joe’s Alignment shop reading through these very Tesla instructions. Also would hate to be the first Cybertruck a Tesla shop had worked on.

First stop I will make will be to our Tesla service center in New Orleans; I’m sure most of the employees will never have seen one. Just any to make sure there is a continuing relationship. For the first real visit.

my legacy mechanic with Alignment in their name refuses to align a Tesla
just the mystique of Tesla a challenge for them, terrible as their days are numbered

Curious the cost to put a clear tint on the front window to reduce heat ?
I had a clear protective film put on the outside of the windshield. I live in MT and the gravel and sand on the roads will sand blast your windshield. You cant tell its on. i paid 700.00 dont know if that is high. I have already gravel hit it and bounce off so i think it works.
