Haven’t posted in a while but some things you all should know about the refreshed Model S Raven/Plaid. I’ll post some more info I learned in a separate video.

Sorry if this video was confusing. Rear tire inner sidewall wore through to cords at 19k miles and again 10k miles later. Tesla had checked tires recent to both events at 7/32 which tells me they don’t actually check. I told them at 30k miles you stated on the paperwork my fronts are at 7/32 but they have 30k miles on them. They called me shortly after I pointed that out to tell me indeed I need new fronts. Moral of the story check your tires…. actually get under the car and look at your inner sidewalls especially if you have the 21” arachnids.

The car has excessive rear camber and toe seems the model S is notorious for this pre raven/plaid and raven/plaid. Car defaults to low at highway speeds regardless of default setting in the suspension settings. Tesla said they align at med ride height. Only way to set med is to manually select med after the car defaults to low at speed. This is the issue with Tesla as they grow. Service is terrible now and they’re already running 3 shifts 24/7 at some locations.

Re: rims… I have the 21” arachnids. 3 bent so get extras. I now have a full set of 4 with new tires ready to go.
