Why wouldn’t you move LF to RR then RR to RF then RF to LR & LR to LF? Not just straight front to back on same side. That’s the rotation I was looking for.
You can rotate it however you like. In my experience cross rotating has negligible benefit, if any. And for the DIY'er, especially Tesla owners who don't usually work on their car much, it's a lot more involved and dangerous procedure since you'll need to lift the entire car up. 4 Jack stands will be required and the owner will need to be comfortable selecting jack stand locations on each corner. Further, so many Tesla owners curb their wheels that cross rotating will just create an opportunity for all 4 wheels to get curb rash. It just makes more sense to rotate front to back--it's easier and a lot more DIY friendly.
Interesting video, but I can't handle the speech style. Everything sounds like a question. When you are making statements try not to end the sentence with your tone of voice going up.
That’s for resetting the tire service mileage. I will try to do a “by the book” rotation video in the future if I can find good Jack stands for the Tesla. For the 20” wheels Tesla recommends cross rotating, but it’s very dangerous to do this without Jack stands or a lift. It can be done with 4 floor jacks but it’s dangerous and the average home diy’er doesn’t have 4 floor jacks. So I decided just to show how to do a front to rear rotation, not “by the book”…and I left out the tire mileage reset too. Personally, I don’t pay attention to tire rotation mileage indicators because tire wear is heavily based on driving habits, tire type, tire compound, etc., so I recommend people to just get into the habit of checking tire condition frequently. With Tesla tires known to have premature inner shoulder wear and prone to tire punctures, it’s always a good idea to check tires frequently.
Thank you for the video.
You're welcome!
Thanks for the video, very informative and helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
I don’t know if I missed it but did you use the impact wrench gun to tighten the bolts at the end?
No, I used hand-threaded them on and used a torque wrench. At 5:55 i explain why it's important to hand tighten first.

Will take that into consideration, but no promises. Thanks!
Dont you need to put it in service mode and gateway? Why did you skip those steps at the end?
