Cybertruck Suspension Discussion & How to do a Tire Rotation

[@RichardLapointe-x8g]

What a privilege it is to see your shop. Thank you.

In the long term, tire rotation and such will save a great deal on money and almost certainly extend the lifetime of whatever type of vehicle you have. Great info. Cheers Joe.

[@joehowe9532]

A very gifted and knowledgeable man is Joseph Tegtmeyer; as well as soft spoken, polite,and courteous (we could use a lot more of that in our society). I was hoping Joe would talk a little bit about the Tire tread pattern as it seems to be highly unusual.

[@briansilver9652]

And I thought your drone videos were great. This is going to be my go-to channel when I get my Cyber Truck. Keep em coming Joe!

Wow Joe! you have lots of experience in the restoration of cars!, that Honda S600 is a beauty and the Datsun looked in fantastic condition - great workshop Joe thanks for a great episode - take care! By the way the Cybertruck looks like it's landed from another planet, against the other vehicles! 😊

waaw Joe ... you have many talents ... respect

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

@@erivaton thx 😎

[@johnross6314]

I run my Cyberbeast in chill mode, low/soft suspension setting, full regen. Amazing smooth, confident experience. It appears it is mostly a “front wheel drive” in this setting. No issue, works great with the permanent mag up front. Busy in town, metro traffic, 252-279WPM. As such, I will cross rotate every 3k miles, 5k miles if most is highway driving. This will help keep off road tire tread less noisy, and keep tread wear even.

[@jimdetry9420]

Nice change from the drone videos

Hello Joe, super restoration work.

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

@@johnhjic2 thank you!

You are a talented man!

[@Richard-cq4kv]

Do you have the directional arrows on the tires all pointing forward?

[@aminesaib]

Thanks for sharing. This was great. I do 6k miles for my S tire rotation but I will start doing it every 5k.

[@Bob-p2b8d]

Nice video, informative

[@sunshinesfriendscatdogrescue]

Quite a beefy video. Thanks Joe!

[@Sideloader99]

Hi Joe, thanks for the video. Is the X rotation pattern recommended by Tesla? I'm curious. I have always rotated front to back and back to front to keep the tires rotating in the same direction. But maybe I have been doing it wrong. And what about the tire pressure monitors in each tire. Do they need to be reset for placement on the truck ? Thanks for all your hard work.

[@The_DuMont_Network]

I am curious about that as well. Maybe the tire mfr would have some thoughts. Since I went to radials 50 years ago, I understood 2crossing was a no no per Michelin..

[@fiddlerJohn]

Great info. Thanks.

[@RicardoCostaCiabotti.]

Instrutivo !!! Parabéns !!!

[@f.robertfalbo9800]

I've always gone by the old rule that you never cross rotate radial tires (only bias ply tires). I wonder when that rule changed.

[@tripzero0]

How much do the wheels weigh?

[@ZipZoomZip]

About 96 lbs. with the OEM AT tires installed. The wheels are actually quite light for their size and load rating. So are the tires.

[@tripzero0]

@@ZipZoomZip I weighed them since posting this. It's about 120lbs for the spare tire.

[@ZipZoomZip]

@@tripzero0 Which tires and wheels did you weigh? I was talking about the stock wheels on the Foundation Cybertrucks with the AT tires.

[@tripzero0]

@@ZipZoomZip AT wheels and tires from the spare kit. That wheel + tire is 120lbs. I wish it was just < 100lbs because I could throw it up on my roof rack 😭. Need a stronger rack now.

[@ZipZoomZip]

@@tripzero0 The spare should be the same weight as the OEM wheel and tire. I think your scale is wildly inaccurate. And I'm not sure why you speak of the wheel and tire you weighed in the plural. Do you have more than one spare?

[@TeslaRebuilders]

Very good information for cybertruck owners to do their own tire rotation. I just hit 10k miles on mine time to rotate again also. Hope to see some more videos on your cybertruck ownership. Take it easy Joe, Casey

[@joedrelicharz6235]

Joe on my hub centric type wheels when I r&r wheels I smear a VERY small amount of antisieze on the rusty hub register for next removal also you can use hockey pucks and screw on a small rubber stopper to make jack pads!

[@paultodd9301]

Hi Joe, did you need to tell the TPMS system that the sensors had changed locations, or did it somehow work that out for itself?

[@ZipZoomZip]

It does it automatically, just like on my 2018 Model 3 Performance.

[@paultodd9301]

@@ZipZoomZip clever stuff these modern cars!

[@WarrenLacefield]

Thanks for this good educational video. Probably most owners will have this work done at Tesla Certified garage or tire shop, but having watched your video, they will know what is going on and what to look for. Having a Tesla gives owners far more control (and understanding) of all aspects of the car's operation through the app and the touchscreen. Also, as an aside, your video reminded me of HeavyD Sparks Cybertruck videos, especially the one where they replaced the wheels with outboard snow tracks (making it a mini-Cyber Snow Cat!). 🙂 Unfortunately, they hit some bump in the snow going too fast and broke the thick vertical suspension rod on the front left wheel. The rest of that video was a "trail fix" to get the vehicle off the mountain. 🤥 Other videos showed off-road Cybertruck performances in sand dunes and rocky trails. Good advertisement and many nice things said about Tesla!

[@i.musafeer]

Hey Joe. CyberTruck demo drives are now available in some locations including Austin. More locations are being added. Please let people know to go and have some fun in it. Driving a CyberTruck is one of a kind experience as you know.

[@michaelhess4825]

You use a lift but not impact gun, I find this entertaining. 😁 I didn't see a spot for the Jack stands, where do you put those after lifting with a jack?

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

@@michaelhess4825 I did that for the video … I do in fact have an air gun and used it off screen, but to get the correct torque, I recommend you use a torque wrench. Thank you for watching.

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

@@michaelhess4825 I showed you that in several parts of the video and referenced the service manual with images.

[@michaelhess4825]

The images didn't show the jack stands though just the four primary lift points. Or the video just made it hard to see. In the service manual it shows the lift points and then a smaller double circle area for the actual stands. Figure 3 in section 10-1000-Raise Vehicle - Jack

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

@@michaelhess4825 great you found that info!

[@bluedrew]

Thanks Joe. Nice shop! 1. The truck looks clean. What's your method? I have a bunch of water spots and rust and etching streaks from a water spot remover that dripped. Just did 2 panels with Citrisurf 77 and blue Scotch bright.....good as new. Your thoughts on Bar keepers friend? I bought DIY metal coating, but scared to use it yet until the panels are all new. 2. My model Y went 10K before I rotated. Front and rears had less than 2/32 difference until then. 3. I was taught to not use a torque wrench to remove stuff. Could affect the accuracy of the instrument. Harbor Freight has a nice breaker bar with lifetime warranty for cheap. Use my Milwaukee now for a quick job.

[@ericarcher7565]

I'd be interested in other DIY maintenance for Tesla. Brakes in particular. Using Regen all the time doesn't wear out the pads but I think the calipers,, slides etc should be serviced. I'm sure there are other things that would probably need to be done. You explained this so well. If using jack stands how exactly would you do that ie, one floor jack at the lift point, where do you place the jack stands? The jack is at the lift point. Again, great video.

[@justonbrazda3846]

Tesla recommends rear wheels to front, and fronts criss cross to back, not both being criss crossed? Is the way you did I better??

[@brandan1619]

Is there a drone video today?

[@MarkStatkus]

I had to get a stud alignment tool to screw on a stud. Assists with just aligning 1 stud vs 5 or 6.

[@James_Ryan]

As a side benefit, you get a free workout! 🤣

[@briansilver9652]

Are they the same jack pucks as for the 3 and Y?

[@ZipZoomZip]

The Cybertruck doesn't need jack pucks as long as your jacking solution only puts pressure on the jack points (and not the surrounding area). Jack pucks for the Model 3 and Model Y have a locating nubbin on them that will interfere with jacking the Cybertruck.

[@douggolde7582]

Can the Cybertruck jack itself up? Extract height, put in stands, then lower suspension.

[@KevinKingsmore]

WOW Joe this video just blew my mind because I had no idea San Antonio was so close to Austin. I was thinking of taking the family to Austin for a Labor Day mini vacation and now I am thinking of San Antonio with day trip to Austin to see Giga Texas. Do you recommend we stay in San Antonio or Austin?

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

@@KevinKingsmore either is fine and the trip up isn’t too bad from San Antonio … the Riverwalk in San Antonio is pretty cool!

[@outtathabox1]

R With radial tires you should not change tire rotation. You should rotate from front to rear on same side or you will get tread separation

[@Crager36]

Wow! A 100 degrees, where’s the air conditioning for your shop?

[@lawrencekendrick6440]

The axle bolts are coming out and ruining the splines. Do you see a way to lock them in for safety?

[@ZipZoomZip]

If the axle bolt comes out, either it was never torqued correctly to begin with, or someone loosened it and didn't re-torque it to spec.

[@lawrencekendrick6440]

@@ZipZoomZip it's not a common problem but offroaders probably won't check torques or even look at the bolts. A pin or lock would be good in general.

[@ZipZoomZip]

@@lawrencekendrick6440 A pin or lock isn't needed, it's easier to torque them properly. It wouldn't surprise me if the one that happened without a crash was simply sabotage from someone trying to throw shade on Tesla and hurt them.

I thought the brakes were electric, they looked like hydraulic brakes to me .. please clarify?

[@ZipZoomZip]

Brakes are standard hydraulic anti-lock brakes.

[@cliffhaston577]

Liftless..... There appears to only be one lift point at each of the four locations. If you only had one heavy duty jack and four jack stands, how do you get the truck onto the stands? Is there other points where a jack stand could be used? ,,,,, nevermind... I found the answer in the manual. There are both lift points and jack stand points identified in the manual under "Jacking and Lifting".
