I guess another explanation is that the right front motor is just after something a little bit warmer in the cooling loop. Does the cooling loop have a separate loop for each thing being cooled, or does it go from one to another sometimes?

On my ICE vehicle, I notice the rear left tire gets noticeably warmer because it's closer to the exhaust. But I'm not sure if anything like that could apply here.

Also the front right and front left motors are part of the same unit. So, it seems like they'd be tied together.

Just for a contrary data point: My LEFT front motor consistently displays 2-4 F degrees warmer than the right front motor. I've never had pulling issues. R1T is about 13 months old.

I noticed the same this week. The front right is always warmer than the others. I don’t have any pull or alignment issues though.

I also have right front motor running hotter than the other 3. Interesting that so many others see this.

i have the right pull on a dual motor so obviously no right motor bias. They did a front alignment and no change. Mildly annoying so interested if anyone has gotten a fix.
