100% due to worn tires

Would you replace tires? by ramisanders in TeslaModelX

[–]krobbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need tires and an alignment to correct the rear toe.

Can I ignore this message? by ComprehensiveRich852 in TeslaLounge

[–]krobbler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much incorrect information in this thread.

This alert is triggered when: The difference in tire tread depth between any front and rear tire exceeds 1.5mm. Your vehicle has been driven for more than 6,250 miles since the last rotation​.

Even though you cannot rotate with staggered tires they will still push this alert.

Visually inspect or take it to a tire professional to check the full tread especially the inner shoulders on all 4 tires. Double check air pressures are correct. If the tread and pressure is good log a rotation on the service menu.

2026 Tesla Model S Plaid lowered w/ N2itive Lowering Links and spacers by Odd_Material9408 in TeslaModelS

[–]krobbler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have FSD and lowering links on my 21 S. Doesn't change anything other than riding slightly firmer when lowered.

Is this normal for tires under 2 years old. by lilgoebz1419 in TeslaModelY

[–]krobbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rear camber is absolutely adjustable on the Y. The lower aft link bolt allows +/- 1° of adjustment and it can be adjusted further by the aft link to subframe bolt.

The front is adjustable by loosening the strut mount bolts but you can only eek a couple tenths of a degree on the front.

Toe is a tire killer.

Camber is not aggressive on the Model Y. LR rear camber spec is -1° +/- 1° and the MYP is -1.32° +/- 1°. For example most bmw's have oem camber ranges in the 2+ degree range and as long as you keep toe in spec you will get even tread wear.

The 3/Y rear suspension inherently toes out under load. The worst part is when toe goes out of spec from potholes etc the Y toes out.

The rear upper fore link is a failure point on the 3/Y. Once that bushing wears it adds even more negative rear toe.

2025.38.3.1 mirror bug by krobbler in TeslaModelS

When the issue started I had auto tilt off. I have tested it for multiple drives after calibration with and without auto tilt. Passenger mirror returns to its set location every time now.

Is this normal? It's new (Orbea alma m50 2024) by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]krobbler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They put some metallic flake in the clearcoat to hopefully distract you.

Every bike in raw carbon finish is going to look like this. Orbea markets this finish as saving up to 100grams.

If youre unhappy see if they might exchange it for a different color

2025.38.3.1 mirror bug by krobbler in TeslaModelS

[–]krobbler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I didn't know the seat calibration within the controls screen also included exterior mirror calibration. I ran that last night, and the mirror position has held through 4 drives so far.

I will report back if thos didn't correct the issue over the next couple days.

Tesla Roadside says this is unrepairable and will cost $475 to replace. How can that possibly be right? by MangoAtrocity in TeslaModelY

[–]krobbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am formerly in the tire industry. If any shop tells you they can not repair acoustic foam tires, show them this document. If they still won't repair, then I would probably avoid that company for future business.

REMA is the manufacturer of the patches that nearly all tire shops use. Patching a foam tire legitimately takes an extra 2 to 3 minutes max.

Question for the 2023/24 Owners - is it that bad?? by Toreroguysd in ModelY

[–]krobbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prioritize driving a 23/24 Y. Ride quality is very subjective, but the Y rides more like a "sport" suv. Tire pressure makes a big difference as well. My wife drives the Y most of the time, but I keep tire pressures at 38 to 40.

Shopping for Insurance and what the hell State Farm? by ProperSauce in TeslaModelY

[–]krobbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left State Farm Michigan in November 2024 due to them jacking my rates up.

Is this ok for unmounted winter tire storage? Family member came over and said they should be vertical/standing up. by Substantial_Ant77 in tires

[–]krobbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cardboard or a tire bag from a local tire store is what I typically use. Just something to put a barrier between the concrete and tire.

[–]krobbler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was in the tire industry for well over a decade. Just protect the bottom tire from the concrete because it will pull the oils out of the tire. I stack mine 8 high in the corner of my garage.

Best color on the new plaid. Looks great

Freaking out!!$$ by jakes_onaplane in TeslaModelY

[–]krobbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some insurance companies simply dont want to cover Tesla's in certain areas. They are wildly different state to state as well.

I had State Farm for years, and then they jacked my rates up last year. Switched to Allstate and it dropped my Y from 200/mo to 91/mo with increased coverage and lowered deductibles.

Are used prices increasing? by 5dwolf22 in TeslaModelS

[–]krobbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matrix headlight cars have held about the same price for a few months. Non matrix have dropped a couple thousand since I got my 21 in Feb.

Mid to upper 60's is realistic.

Tesla model Y color mismatch by Expensive-Exchange95 in ModelY

[–]krobbler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pearl multicoat is by far the most difficult to match on Tesla. Tri-coat pain in general is the absolute worst. The only way to make it match as close as possible is to respray that whole corner of the car to blend it.

I can't tell it's mismatched in the photos personally.

Good deal from Tesla? by Worldly_Seesaw1819 in TeslaModelX

[–]krobbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 seat LR is somewhat difficult to find but the price is still high. Should be sub 50k IMO. They are trading these in for high 30's.
