Same issue but other direction. Appears to drive straight but wheel canted counter clockwise. I noticed driving home from delivery. Put in a ticket and got a phone call an hour or so later. The tech asked if it was pulling a few times and I said no, just that the wheel was off and he made it seem as if that could be corrected without an alignment which was not what I expected.I don’t think the splines on the steering column are that granular and assume like others it’ll be “an alignment” but just take a little from one side and add to the other tire rod.

(I was also politely reminded to not use a phone while driving, lol)

Mine is the same but tilted to the left, and has been that way since delivery. I have a service center appointment. Mine sometimes causes the steering in Driver + to act up.

Mine has acted like this since delivery, 40k miles ago. Over the course of 3 alignments and 3 different tire types across 2 different wheels, it still tilts right the same amount. It has Never been dead straight and I've just come to accept it, but now I'm considering post-warranty life in the next year (lots of road trips on the books this year) and want to get everything corrected before then.
