Pulls to the left
Does anyone else’s car pull/drift to the left when you let go of the wheel on a flat road?

I’m guessing you drive on the right.
Received wisdom is that the car will drift away from oncoming traffic. I have been told that this is due to camber in the road surface or the steering geometry is set to pull the car towards the kerb. Truth is I’m not really sure if either is true, but my car will drift away from the centreline. I’m sure someone on here will know.

The chamber of a straight road is set to drain rainwater to the kerb.
If a car is set up properly it will follow the camber and pull to the side if the steering wheel is not held. On most roads you only have to hold very lightly to keep it in a straight line and you might get the impression that you are not doing anything but you are.

you have electric steering which can self compensate for this , it be wise to get them to check it out and their service bulletins for any software updates . . Tyres are the main cause for pulling to one side , swap the front wheels and try again .
