I have cars, with PrimaryParts set, thus their PivotPoints set to that. However, when I want to position them a specific point in the game, I need to just get their centre position.
But when I remove the PrimaryPart, the pivot stays at the same position
-- Create car
local CarClone = Car.Model:Clone()
CarClone:SetAttribute("ParkingSpot", EmptyParkingSpot.Name)
CarClone.PrimaryPart = nil
CarClone.WorldPivot = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)
local Orientation, VehicleSize = CarClone:GetBoundingBox()
local SpawnPosition = EmptyParkingSpot.CFrame - Vector3.new(0, EmptyParkingSpot.Size.Y / 2)
SpawnPosition = SpawnPosition + Vector3.new(0, 0.5, 0)
CarClone:PivotTo(SpawnPosition * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0))
This just positions the car in the middle of nowhere
Where the axis is, thats where I want the car to be

You can probably set the model’s WorldPivot property to the CFrame returned from model:GetBoundingBox (in your script it’s the Orientation variable). Not sure what is used on the backend but that seems to do the trick.
I am not sure if this works:
-- Create car
local CarClone = Car.Model:Clone()
CarClone:SetAttribute("ParkingSpot", EmptyParkingSpot.Name)
CarClone.PrimaryPart = nil
CarClone.WorldPivot = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)
local Orientation, VehicleSize = CarClone:GetBoundingBox()
local SpawnPosition = EmptyParkingSpot.CFrame - Vector3.new(0, EmptyParkingSpot.Size.Y / 2)
SpawnPosition = SpawnPosition + Vector3.new(0, 0.5, 0)
CarClone:PivotTo(SpawnPosition * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0))
CarClone.Velocity = Vector3.new()
CarClone.RotVelocity = Vector3.new()
CarClone.AngularVelocity = Vector3.new()
CarClone.Torque = Vector3.new()
CarClone.MaxTorque = Vector3.new()
CarClone.Position = SpawnPosition
CarClone.Orientation = Vector3.new()
CarClone.CFrame = SpawnPosition * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
CarClone.Name = "Vehicle"
CarClone.Parent = Workspace
Still spawns it in a random spot on the map
Well I cannot help you then anymore sorry.

I’ve managed to do something similar recently, the best way to do it is to get the Pivot and then apply that to the vehicle
