At approximately 62,600 miles the lower rear reward control arm sheared off which then required a repair cost of $2000. 00. The car became essentially un-operatable, it could only move forward and there was the distinct possibility of the wheel separating from the car.
2022 Model S long range, 21? arachnid wheels, michelin pilot sport 4s 295/30zr21 rear, 265/35zr21 front. Rear tires wear through to the cords on the inner shoulder while the rest of the tread looks new; fronts wear the outer shoulder. Nine replacement tires from Tesla in 47,000 miles (rears may 2025 and oct 2026; fronts may 2024, Apr 2026, Jun 2026), plus two loaner-wheel flats (may and Aug 2026). Every failure presented as a slow leak or flat with no visible wear. Tesla performed four-wheel alignments on 5/18/2024 and 4/22/2026, both recorded “within specifications”; a front tire fitted at the second alignment failed about 2,300 miles later. Tesla never identified a cause. On 10/22/2026 the tysons corner, va service manager attributed the wear to lack of tire rotation; Tesla's own invoices of 12/23/2022, 7/19/2023, 4/22/2026 and 10/22/2026 record “tire rotation recommended: no,” and the service manual allows only side-to-side swaps on this staggered setup, which cannot move inner-shoulder wear. The cause appears to be the non-adjustable negative rear camber on 2021+ Model S, as described in odi 11636646, 11645675, 11710217, 11732580 and 11580793. Hidden inner-edge failure on a 4,800-lb car at highway speed is a blowout risk. Requesting investigation of the 2021+ Model S rear suspension geometry on 21? wheels.
Since purchase, I have experienced nine tire-related failures, including four separate blowouts at highway speed, leaving the vehicle disabled on major roads multiple times. The most recent occurred on [insert date], when the car suffered another blowout and is now disabled at my residence. This pattern of failure has occurred despite tire replacements and service visits by Tesla. The issue began on the day of delivery, when a tire failed within 70 miles, and service staff admitted the car had not been safety inspected prior to delivery. Tesla has replaced nearly all tires, reimbursed a third-party shop once, and confirmed on a recorded call that the level of tire failure is abnormal. Still, no root cause has been identified. The failures have occurred under normal driving conditions and pose a serious safety hazard to me, my family (including children), and others on the road. My family now refuses to ride in the car. This issue is ongoing, unresolved, and I believe there is a systemic defect involving the vehicle’s suspension, alignment, or structural components that is contributing to abnormal tire wear and catastrophic blowouts. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this vehicle and Tesla’s cpo inspection process, and that appropriate safety action be taken before someone is seriously injured or killed.
Air suspension system throws an error. Car attempts to lift but it feels like a limit switch or some upper bound is not working properly, as the car lifts in the rear, then suddenly kicks back down before trying to lift again. This process repeats 5-6 times before stopping. Initially, I could hear a motor or compressor running for about 30 seconds while initially driving the car. Since then, I've not heard any sounds from the suspension and it consistently says that the suspension is either not available or not functional in the driver heads up screen. Tesla is forcing me to pay for this repair, it is uncertain or unclear whether this should be covered under a recall, especially considering the issues on suspension faced in china. Tesla has ridiculous wait times at their service centers - it will take me at least until late July to get this fixed.
Recall issue for my vehicle. Have been having issues with the auto steer/auto pilot that comes in the car. The auto steer automatically goes off and whenever you make a turn, there's a weird sound.
Severe inner tire wear on the rear tires of Tesla Model S and x. I have a brand new 2022 Model S long range model and started noticing heavy inner tread wear on the oem tires at only 15k miles. The car defaults the suspension to "low" which goes into negative camber and wears out the inside of the rear tires. This is a known problem and discussed often online. See such forums from other owners: https://teslamotorsclub. Com/tmc/threads/plaid-21%e2%80%9d-rear-tire-woes-factory-defect. 269394/page-1 t.
My car has 10k miles and rear wheels started to layer off. This is the same issue as many other reporting on the web. I tired to reach out to Tesla but they deny any responsibilities. Something needs to be done ASAP before people will get hurt. I am lucky that I noticed this issue.
