Tesla Wheel Alignment Services

Tesla’s factory suspension arms provide a fixed adjustment range. On a stock-height car, that range is adequate. The moment you lower the car, the suspension geometry changes in ways the factory arms cannot fully correct. Residual camber sits outside of spec regardless of what the alignment machine does, because the arm itself has no more mechanical travel.

For any lowered Tesla, we recommend upgrading to adjustable aftermarket camber arms before alignment. Unplugged Performance manufactures camber arms for Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X that extend the adjustment range and allow us to bring the car into correct spec at any ride height. We also work with adjustable arms from other reputable manufacturers. If you are already running aftermarket suspension arms, bring the car in and we will align it to spec.

For cars on factory arms, we align to the best achievable spec within the factory arm’s mechanical limits and tell you clearly whether upgrading to adjustable arms is necessary for your ride height.

Every alignment is a full four-wheel digital alignment using equipment calibrated for Tesla suspension geometry and low-profile underbody clearance.

We measure and adjust camber (wheel tilt relative to vertical), toe (wheel direction relative to centerline), and caster (steering axis angle, where mechanically adjustable).

We set alignment targets based on your specific application:

• Daily and street driving: Factory-adjacent specs optimized for even tire wear, straight tracking, and predictable handling.
• Performance street: Moderate negative camber increase for improved cornering grip while maintaining acceptable tire longevity for regular use.
• Track and autocross: Aggressive camber and toe settings tuned to your tire compound, track type, and driving style. We factor in whether you run the same setup on the street or switch to a dedicated track configuration.
• Off-road and lifted: Geometry corrected for increased ride height and the range of motion that off-road driving demands, including Model Y lifted builds and Cybertruck configurations.

Every alignment includes a printed before and after report documenting measurements at each corner.

Teslas are heavier than comparable combustion vehicles, and instant torque loads tire contact patches on every acceleration. Regenerative braking shifts weight to the front axle on every decel. These forces interact with alignment angles on every drive, which means even moderate misalignment has a more pronounced effect on tire wear, range, and steering feel than it would on a lighter car.

Misaligned Teslas commonly show uneven or premature tire wear at the inner or outer tread edge, steering that pulls at highway speed, reduced range from increased rolling resistance caused by toe error, and imprecise turn-in under hard cornering.

On a performance build, an incorrect alignment absorbs the gains your suspension was designed to deliver. Correct geometry lets the car perform to the spec it was built for.
