Is everyone getting it done at a tesla service center or a local tire shop?

I believe you’re supposed to get it done every 5000 miles at Tesla

--6250 miles per manual
--easy to jack up - just ensure you use jack mode (I just put brake covers on mine last sunday)
--I got mine rotated at Tesla just because already had an apt and was busy - but discount tire will do it for free or easy to do yourself if you have the time

Not hard at all…..put suspension in low and jack mode. Get a wheel dolly and place under tire when it is jacked up about 1\2 inch over dolly. No lifting of tire/rim required. Several videos on the process.

imma drive the stock tires to the ground then likely Discount Tires and let them deal with it. This thing is too massive and dangerous.

Just had mine done at around 7,000 miles. Had mobile service and got my wheel covers on at the same time. 10/10 experience and worth the $65

I'll do mine how I've always done it, every fall and spring I swap my winter tires on/off and mark them with a grease pencil so I can rotate them when they go back on.

If I didn't swap out summer/winter tires, I wouldn't rotate them based on mileage, I would use a tread depth gauge to check any wear imbalances and rotate them as needed.

At just over 4,000 miles I had Tesla install the "winter" All-Terrain tires since the price included the install. When I got home, the OEM tires all had such similar tread depths that I couldn't distinguish which ones had been in which positions. My conclusion is the AWD Cybertruck tends to wear tires very evenly (at least in my use case).

dual motor 4 wheel drive wear evenly so much less rotation needed. Since Tesla eats tire, rotation is almost not ever needed haha. Just replace them.

I always do the balance and rotation together.

- 1,000 miles: Costco balance/rotation. I've read somewhere this is the "break-in" period for tires.
- A little more than 3,500 miles: bought warranty at America's Tires/Discount Tires and request the Free balance/rotation.
- ~5,000 miles: got 1 flat tire, America's Tires patched but couldn't fix the slow leak so I have a Free new tire: balance/rotation.

Waiting until around 7,500 miles to go back to Costco for another balance/rotation: America's Tires requires every 5K - 6K per balance/rotation. The 3 old tires at 5K miles look the same to me compare to the New replacement. So I'll keep doing it just like other vehicles I've owned. Also after every time balance I "feel" the ride is a little more quiet.

6500. Discount tire. Free.
Same. I have just under 13,000 miles and I had it done twice. Free tire rotation and more important...and professional balance job. I have taken it to two different America's Tire in the Bay Area. One had the platform thing that you drive over and it safely lifts it. The other used the 4 jacks. In the Bay Area there are so many Tesla's and Cybertrucks, they have experience in doing it right.
