Excessive Front Tire Wear - Cyberbeast

[juicebeast17]

After 3k miles of normal city and highway driving, I came to notice uneven tire thread wear coming from the front Passenger vs Driver side. Rear tires are almost new. Has anyone encountered this with their CT-Cyberbeast?
My front left has .5 more thread between inner and outer vs the front right. I have a service appointment next week for inspection.

My front drivers side tire is quite disproportionally worn versus the front passenger or rear tires. 6900k miles

Do more launches, helps those rear tires wear evenly with the fronts ?

But seriously, I’ve had pretty even wear on mine. Probably a good idea you’re having them take a look at it. Best of luck!

Something I saw on Out of Spec is the Beast is primarily FWD while the AWD version is primarily RWD since the front is permanent magnet and the rears are induction in the Beast and its opposite in AWD versions (Front is Induction Rear Permanent Magnet). So when your accelerating its taking the front wheels first and blending in the back when needing more power. He said this was his main complaint was going over bumps with the front wheels clunking, I didn't really get this part, but he would buy a AWD next time just to have the RWD bias on it.

I have noticed the front tires clunking at times on uneven pavement when accelerating while coming out of turning a corner (beast). If I accelerate very gingerly, it's minimal. If I turn on "slippery surfaces" it seems to be mitigated. I'm guessing that one of the front tires "skips" for traction after going over a bump while on the throttle. I've gotten used to it but never experienced that in any other vehicle.

I noticed this over speed bumps even when barely accelerating or even in FSD. In hurry mode FSD it seems to accelerate from a stop more aggressively than I typically would but standard seems to hesitate to even move from a stop.

maybe this has something to do with the auto suspension raising and lowering whenever it feels like it. Never had this kind of issue in 20 years of owning any vehicle.

Interesting observation. I also have that clunky noise happening on several roads, mainly if I step on it and turn the wheel at the same time. Will be interesting to see what happens on Tuesday.

I just got alerted from Tesla service center that my Beast is ready for pickup. Work order shows that the front alignment was out of spec. They performed a 4 wheel alignment on the house thanks to my prior noise complaints found on record. What I don’t understand is why not rotate the freakin tires knowing that it’s 100% necessary. The rear tires are at 9.9 thread and the fronts are 6.5 and 7. I’ll be picking it up tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Because the beast drives primarily FWD. one of the reasons I love the Dual motor.

Thanks to the comments here, I was able to get Tesla service to understand the differences between CT AWD and Tri-Motor, and rotate the tires. They also detected that the final alignment was not up to spec, they found out both control arms from driver side where not allowing the alignment properly adjust, so they replaced and aligned again. Attached is my final results. Blessed be part of this community. I wouldn’t have known the front motor is grabbing first:
