Rotating tires on this car doesn't seem to matter as much as other vehicles. I have rotated my tires once so far.... around 21k miles. I am at 37k now and all 4 tires have the same tread depth remaining (about 6/32")

I was going to rotate yesterday but one of my other vehicles needed some attention so the MME will need to wait its turn. Maybe next weekend...

QUESTION if you do it yourself how do you rotate the tires? Aren't they rotated diagally....don't you need a lift????? Just what I heard I am not sure so I am asking....
Thanks

How often does everyone rotate tires? I know EV has harder tire wear…. Is it worth doing it every 5k instead of 10k?
If you have RWD, I went at 6500 miles. Typical of RWD or FWD for that matter.

The tires (if not unidirectional) should be rotated so that the rear tires go straight to the front and the front tires switch to the opposing rear corners. 😁🐩

This is from the Owner's Manual. White arrow toward the front of the car. 😎🐩

Bout to have tires done at Walmart, anything I should tell them about lifting? Completely forgot about that, last thing I want is battery damage.

There are arrows under the plastic side cladding that point to the lift points. As a small mom'n'pop tire store said to me: "Just like a Tesla!" 😁🐩

Just remind them that if they lift it using the aluminum battery rails, it will ruin the battery case and that's an expensive fix. 😰🐩

Ha! when I was a kid, I couldn't understand why we needed to put the car in the shop to get the tires rotated...THEY ROTATE EVERY TIME WE DRIVE!
Hey, when is young, I genuinely thought tire rotation simply meant rotating all the wheels so that all the center cap badges and wheel patterns matched each other perfectly, right side up - because somehow, them logos and wheels would turn imperfectly over time when driving and cause some badges to be upside down and sideways, losing that perfect right side up alignment that comes from factory!
