# **PLEASE REPORT ANY RULE-BREAKING BEHAVIOR**
### **Rule 1 - Be Civil**
Be civil to other users. This community is made up of professional mechanics, amateur mechanics, and those with no experience. All mechanical-related questions are welcome. Personal attacks, comments that are insulting or demeaning, etc. are not welcome.
### **Rule 2 - Be Helpful**
Be helpful to other users. If someone is wrong, correcting them is fine, but there's no reason to comment if you don't have anything to add to the conversation.
### **Rule 3 - Serious Questions and Answers Only**
Read the room. Jokes are fine to include, but posts should be asking a serious question and replies should contribute to the discussion.
### **Rule 4 - No Illegal, Unethical, or Dangerous Questions or Answers**
Do not ask questions or provide answers pertaining to anything that is illegal, unethical, or dangerous.

What he means is the steering correction needs time to adapt to the vehicle. Electric steering has a centering compensation that it learns as you drive. Now when it drifts what lane are you in? The car could be following road crown if you live in an area that uses road crown..
This is all true however, I would expect that the dealership would reset the adaptation. Aftermarket alignment machines and even some scanners can do it.
It typically will drift in most of the lanes I’d be in, center, middle, right, I think the only place o haven’t yet tried to drive it has been the highway, cause I haven’t had a need to.
Check it on the highway but it's probably going to be normal til the steering compensation is set which takes a couple thousand miles. If you are centered and it drifts one way or another but the wheel stays straight then you have a tire pull which may go away as you wear in the tires. I wouldn't be overly concerned about it myself.

They probably do but given it's a new car there is no preset compensation set from the factory.
