With the tires off, it's also a great time to give the brakes, brake,and electrical lines inspection. Make sure to look and make sure the wheel well panels are secure.

Good tip!

[@craigmoritz]

A torque wrench is only measuring correctly if the wrench is in motion, then it is measuring dynamic friction, NOT the higher static friction. Also the threads should be DRY, otherwise you will be over-torquing! Safety tip: using two jacks is NOT a substitute for Jack stands. They are inexpensive and far safer.

Nice video but very few people are fortunate enough to own a house with a 6 car pristine heated garage along with all of the necessary tools.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

Yeah, and very few people are fortunate enough to own a bunch of EVs like Dave has 😂

[@justinjones6810]

Lol you can do that with a jack jack stand and a cheap ryobi impact wrench it isnt that expensive

[@evdave528]

Very true!

[@brentnorman6848]

Excellent video Dave. Now I have a better idea of what I need to go out and purchase. I just hit over 12000 miles on our Y LR including winter and freezing cold weather. I could not be happier with my Tesla. Need to pick all of this up so I can put the summer tires back on in the spring.

[@evdave528]

Glad it was helpful!

[@helicopterjohns]

Nice Video. One thing that I was always told is the release the torque pressure on the torque wrench after each use and reset it the the desired torque each time it is used.

[@evdave528]

Great point! I never leave the wrench under pressure

[@harris7844]

Perfect instructor!

[@brendandonegan2150]

Nice video. However, in common with every DIY wheel rotation video, nobody advises on the best mode or gear to leave the car in. However, you give a clue when you mention the parking break. However, perhaps the parking break would be engaged if the car was in Jack Mode. I believe that jack mode is intended for when the car is lifted all four off the ground.

[@SpeakerKevin]

A bet Andrew just loves to be micro managed.

[@artscienceweekly]

I am coming in here to see if there’s any shortcut to not lifting moving tires..

[@EVGUY13245]

If you're going to use 2 Jacks anyway. Why not use the tesla jack-stands instead? Mechanics 101 says never trust jacks alone. Otherwise great video on how to do it man.

[@MarvKirsch]

Wish I could stop by and do my MY but it’s a long drive from NY so I’ll just use a local place🤣

[@beelust4312]

Nice video and if I had the Jack's might give it shot 😉.

Take your Tesla to Discount Tire and it is free. They want to sell you tires when you are ready 😆

[@Superman-xr1oh]

Exactly, no stress, no cursing from trying to rotate tires yourself, etc.

[@HieuNguyen-dg9gd]

Is that true ?

[@dmc1241]

@@HieuNguyen-dg9gd yes

[@mowcowbell]

Discount Tire stores do indeed provide free tire rotation service. Make an appointment online, sit back and relax while they do the work for you.

[@mucahitozgur1935]

Hi guys, have you experienced any alignment issues after rotating tires.? I did rotate tires by myself and there is a little alignment issue.

[@evdave528]

I have not but if you have a bad tire or it was way overdue to rotate that might explain it

[@choongta]

So, for Tesla, just simple front-to-back & back-to-front every time. No need for cross ?

[@evdave528]

With radial tires it’s front to back

[@ggalak]

I don't understand that. Front to back and back to front and so on. What is the point ?

[@choongta]

​@@ggalak The point is to allow the tires to wear out more evenly. By bringing the back wheels to the front, those tires will be in the steering position and therefore will have the same wearing as the front wheels have had. Likewise for the front wheels to the back.

[@ggalak]

@@choongta That is understood for the first change. So after 20.000 km the tires will go back to their initial position. That is the part I don't understand.

[@choongta]

@@ggalak if you do not rotate the tires, then they will not wear out EVENLY. What else is there to understand ?

[@HieuNguyen-dg9gd]

Can you tell me where did you buy the puck?

[@kimstockdale632]

There are dozens to choose from on Amazon

[@evdave528]

Amazon about 24 bucks

[@HieuNguyen-dg9gd]

@@evdave528 thanks

[@dmc1241]

I bought mine on Amazon

[@erniewebster792]

How do you address the tmpi sensors to relearn which tires are in each spot so that the readings appear on the screen inside the car matching tire locations?

[@Robert-pm6bm]

Those aren’t direction tires so you could cross the fronts when going to the back. Also you don’t need the pucks. Every mobile service I’ve had, the tech never used them.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

If they aren't using the pucks, then they're going to screw up the battery. It's right underneath the car, you can't just jack it up anywhere.

[@Robert-pm6bm]

@@Superman-xr1oh Coming straight from the Tesla peeps. Even took at a look at the jack they brought. just a normal jack. Used in the same location where the pucks would go...

[@jledge4797]

Correct, you should cross them either going back to front, or front to back, as long as you're consistent each time you rotate. Then over time, each wheel will be in every position on the car. I use jack stands to eliminate the need for multiple jacks.

[@evdave528]

You should always use picks

[@HieuNguyen-dg9gd]

@@jledge4797 can you you puck with jack stands ?

[@martinekstrom6303]

Don’t you guys use winter tires? I wouldn’t bother with this. You rotate when you change from winter to summer and visé versa. These all season tires suck.

[@evdave528]

No winter tires where I live only in trips to the north
