Tire Rotation COSTCO experience

[Banker]

Had my tires rotated yesterday at COSTCO.
6,000 miles
$29.00
In and out in about an hour.
They were 100% up to speed on lifting points, jack mode etc.

They now have heavyweight lift and special equipment for the beast.

I'm scheduled for a rotation on the 13th at the Tesla SC. First service. I opted to go to the mothership because I'm told there is an "engineering bulletin" regarding the high-voltage harness that will be checked. Cost out the door is $56. In the future, nice to know Costco is an option.

So they will rotate regardless of whether you bought tires.

They will rotate the tires you bought there, for free. Rebalancing, if necessary, is free. Flat tire repair is also free. Non members pay.

They rotate for free if you purchased there and charged since the beast still has the original tires. I have other cars with Costco tires... and they fix flats and rotate those for free.

I was looking in to my CT VIn number and read that the CT is 9,000 lbs?...at least that is the DOT weight classification. I thought the CT was 6,000 lbs - is 9K with the possible cargo load?

The curb weights and GVWR of the different configurations are readily available at Tesla.com. These weights have proven to be quite accurate (but they don't include any accessories like All-Weather Mats, bed dividers, etc). However, unlike legacy trucks, the weight does include the powered tonneau cover.

Dimensions, Weights, and Cargo Capacity

Dual Motor w/ All-Season tires curb weight: 6634 lbs.
Tri-Motor w/ All-Season tires curb weight: 6863 lbs.

Add 35 lbs. to the curb weights for the All-Terrain tires (almost 9 lbs. per tire).

The Dual Motor Cybertruck is surprisingly light for a truck with a payload capacity of 2500 lbs. and a 0-60 mph spec of 3.9 seconds, even when comparing to gas trucks with similar specs and tire sizes. The weight of the motorized tonneau cover is often over-looked, probably because motorized tonneau covers can't be incorporated into a legacy pickup without wasting a bunch of bed space when open.

Discount Tire/America's Tire will do rotations on your Tesla's for free! Doesn't include re-balancing them of course, but you can buy a 'tire package' that covers that and more and it's for the 'car' instead of the tire... So you pay once and they will take care of balancing and rotating for as long as you own the vehicle...

Our model Y has been 'rotated' 3 times so far and all is looking great... Still plenty of tread left after 30,000 miles...

My Store doesn’t allow non-members to enter at all unless they are with a member. Only three people allowed Per card. They have scanners at the entrances to verify you’re a member and no expired membership.

My store the same. But, it's easy enough to bypass and go to the Tire Center.

I guess my concern are the lift points on the CT clearly marked and understood by every tire shop. It is clear to me that 'free' tire rotation would not be tasked to the most experienced guy in the tire shop - so you'll have a Junior-Mint doing the rotation.

Get the tire certificate from Direct Tire, rotations are free.

Balance is also Free: much more important than rotation to me.
