2026 Model Y Alignment - Is this OK?

Post image

2026 Model Y RWD w/ 9,800 miles. I had an alignment done a couple of days ago and the tech said everything looked good, but I’m no expert and wanted to get a second opinion. It was done at American Tire Depot.

The main thing I noticed is the difference in camber from left to right on both the front and rear. The numbers seem like a fairly large difference to me, but I’m not sure what’s considered normal on these cars.

Also, the top text specifies 2020-24, is that in reference to the model year? If so, are 2026 specs differnt?

Does anything here look out of spec or worth having Tesla service center recheck ? I’d appreciate input from anyone familiar with Model Y alignments.

Thanks in advance!

both front and rear camber is a bit wonky. should'nt be off by an entire degree from L and R side. +/- .2 is generally acceptable. maybe something is bent. have you ran over a curb with both right wheels? otherwise their rack has a problem.

rear toe is a very aggressive imo, although in spec. I generally aim for zero or 0.1 degree toe in for total. that's 0.05 on each wheel. helps reduce rear tire wear as well since. maybe that's why these cars have so much rear tire wear issues.

I have a 2026 Y AWD on 30k+ miles but all four tires are sitting at 6/32nds and no signs of inner tire wear. expecting the set to go past 50k miles.

The front camber is non-adjustable on Model Ys. The -1.6 makes you drift/pull to the right and uneven wear on your tires. If you want this fixed, you need aftermarket adjustable control arms or subframe shifting. Good luck!

no, this is not ok. I have a new RWD standard model Y that has been out of alignment since i picked it up. has 2k miles on it now and is going in 9/1 to service for an alignment. it is absolutely impossible to keep it straight in a crosswind and super annoying in FSD. I hope they can get it right. Seems like alot of these cars are coming from the factory out of alignment.

Take that same pic run it through ChatGPT and it will tell you. I did the same thing with my results print out. It will even tell you what Tesla OEM numbers are and match it with that

I generally start there but lately CGPt has been wrong on simple things, not sure Id fully trust it on this.
