Suspension

I have brand new Unplugged Performance Lowering Springs Sets (Moderate) for sale for the new Model 3. These are currently out of stock on the site! Version: Moderate – For Sports Car Drivers (Best Seller) Target Use: For Tesla Model 3 owners who desire well balanced improvements to handling...

I currently drive a latest gen 2016 Prius and overall I am happy with it but I am planning on buying a Model 3 this fall. I'm very excited for AutoPilot! I have read the threads about people's opinion of the new coil suspension but those discussions have been centered on comparing the old M3...

One drawback to the touchscreen is that your finger is not anchored when you press a virtual button. Even a small bump in the road can cause you to press the wrong location. It's happened to me several times where I end up pressing the temperature setting (turning on the HVAC in the process)...

Hello Tesla Motors Club Members! My name is Chris Salvo, and I am the owner of EV Tuning Solutions, a new vendor to the TMC Forums. Prior to starting EV Tuning Solutions, I was a Tesla Technician and Parts Advisor for about four and a half years. Before life at Tesla I was a Factory Trained BMW...

After nine days in the shop - they were able to fix the suspension and a few other things. But still waiting for more. I kinda feel like I paid to be a beta tester:

While being overwhelmed of all the other features of the car during the ordering process, I kept telling myself that the Air Suspension wasn't that big of a deal. Long story short.. I am wrong. To the point; has anyone retrofitted the smart-air-suspension to a vehicle post-ordering process? I...

I just bought a white model 3 with the Aero wheels. I haven't received the car yet but Ive been debating what to do with the wheels. Im not sure if I want to keep the Aeros. I prefer the black/grey turbine look on the white car. The Sport wheels are cool but the silver wheel on white car look...

Hi Everyone, Sasha here from Mountain Pass Performance. If you're thinking - WHO IS THIS GUY? Please know that this is a new account that we created! You may remember us from that Tesla powered Lotus Evora that has been around the internet. This post is a little bit of an introduction to...

I have a slightly damaged rear steel subframe for the Roadster (1.5 if they differ) and I'm wondering if any of you folks who are rebuilding cars would want it. It was replaced a few years ago when my car took a hit on the left rear wheel. The rear suspension members bent and the only damage I...

I recall that Elon tweeted that SAS will be "linked" to AWD. After viewing the Tesla Model 3 Stripped - Part 2 - The Dark Side (at 4:12 min into video), it appear the RWD cars are "AWD ready" with the exception of the front struts, which block installation of AWD half shafts to the front...

Hello, Had a search around but couldn't find an answer that really covers this. Just picked up my extremely shiny set of Arachnid referral wheels and found out that, like the P-variant 21s, they are staggered front to back. Whilst I assume it's not an issue fitting a staggered set to a lowly...

TMC Forum Readers - I took delivery of my Model 3 on 2/14 and thought I would pen a quick post on my initial impressions, hoping that some of my points might be new to others. Now a little background before I get into it... I have been part of the forum for 2 years now, when I was serious...

Do you think Tesla should offer a Ludicrous Upgrade for an additional $5,000 on all the 31 CPO P85D's to get them sold? This definitely would make them more attractive to buyers IMHO... especially the "unicorn" P85D's with the Plus Suspension. 8-) If you agree Tweet or email Elon and/or Tesla...

On the drive home from Fremont delivery, the car was very quiet. So I was surprised to hear obvious rattling sounds on subsequent drives. After investigation, I found it is coming from the sun visors, only when they are placed in the down (deployed) position. When used, the end of each visor...

I've had the car in for service maybe 7-8 times for the suspension. It bounces our noggins like bobbleheads, churns our stomachs, and throws us around. Tesla days it's normal and fine. Is there an aftermarket suspension or shock setup that could provide a smoother, softer, more compliant...

]Don't puck it up, use our custom specialty tool. Only a exact match tool can give you the confidence in lifting your Tesla without damage. This lift plate adapter gives you clearance both in height and keeps your floor jack away from the $45k battery pack on Tesla Model S. Just a 1/4" too far...

After 4 months of engineering it is here! Softer than factory spec for cruising around town but when cornering a secondary spring rate kicks in and it becomes firmer than factory spec. Best of both worlds! We’ve created this dual rate spring with a Formula One spring producer. Available in...

I experienced the subject issue after parking in a spot that had a slight incline up. I parked over a low curb which had PLENTY of clearance under the front spoiler (which was verified after initially parking). After an hour, when starting the vehicle to depart, I noticed a vehicle alert...

Hi guys, I have a 2014 Model S 60, coil suspension, 120k km on it now, had 12k kms when I bought it. (was a service loaner) Brought it in the other day as it's riding pretty rough when going over even small or medium bumps, but it's fine on a smooth road, no pull, no vibration. Tesla says...

It is no secret the Model 3 doesn't ride well on rough city streets. But how does it compare to a Ford F-150?

So after some minor tweaks, I was able to get these rear camber bushings installed on the rear camber arms of my 2013 P85. Fairly straightforward install once I figured it all out. These offer a pretty decent adjustment range, but you will be limited in overall range due to design and clearance...

Where are you guys? According to the trash bin, the latest post by AR was: After that it seems he's been trying to morse something by his post ratings... I think they are in some kind of Interstellar mode

I am looking for a new car, and I'm very interested in a used Model S. I have rented a 1-year old Tesla for a few days to gain some hands-on experience with the car, and am looking for some answers to questions I have. I hope somebody can help me out here. I am currently driving an 11-year old...

I’m curious to know the performance of the coil suspension in the Model 3. I hear it is firmer than the S so I am a little concerned that it is not a comfortable ride. I’ve seen people test and compare the coil suspension that was offered for years on the S with the upgraded air suspension...

Hey all, I picked up my Model 3 on Jan 2nd and am disappointed to find that I really do not like the ride. The suspension is very stiff and seems to magnify every bump in the road. Any significant seam in the concrete will leave me bouncing in my seat. On anything but a perfect road, I find...

Hi all - Santa brought me a Model X for Christmas and so I am just trying to learn all the ins and outs. This forum is very helpful. I have a question. I like the car in the Standard Height position, but I can't find how to Lock in the Standard Height. Everytime I stop, shutdown and lock, then...

I am getting warnings several times a week, and I just got my car. I have been very please with performance otherwise. So far I have seen: - auto park disabled - suspension disabled - emergency brake disabled It started with auto park warning with exclamation symbol. Then it moved on to...

Hi TMC! New prospective owner here. I found a private seller with a 2013 MS 85 and we have agreed on the price of $39,000. It has smart air suspension and has 97,000 miles on it. My price range was within $40,000 btw. I am looking for any advice on what I should be looking for before and during...

Let me start off by saying that ever since I placed my order 2 months ago, I've been patiently awaiting yesterday's delivery with so much excitement. I've been a huge fan of Tesla for many years and to finally join the family upon delivery was thrilling. The delivery center I went to was brand...

Is there a specific radius/area that is associated with a location-based smart suspension point? For example, if I turn into my home street for the first time with my new Tesla, and my house is 200 yds down the street, and there are a couple of speed bumps before my house, do I set the...

I'm curious what you guys who have lowered your coil-suspension Model S's have paid for install? The springs themselves are fairly cheap, but my local shops (even the one that track preps BMW and Porsches) are giving me the "OMG TESLA WHAT" line and quoting 1500-2000$ in labor. This is something...

I recently stumbled upon, and was fortunate enough to buy, a CPO P85DL Late march 2015 build. In my humble opinion, and after doing as much research as possible, I determined that this is the Ultimate CPO model S, at least for the performance enthusiast. I make this argument based upon the...

Here is a item that will pretty much take care of those issues of fear on jacking up your Tesla X. I designed and made these initially for my own use as I do tire service on Tesla’s fairly regularly and was always afraid of the battery pack, pack shield and the side skirts. After a few dozen...

If, as some have speculated, there will be a new Model S coming, what features would you wish for? Here are mine: Horizontal screen, like Model 3, but much bigger. I want it really high up so I don't have to look down. Optional Long wheelbase version with space for reclining rear seats...

Sharing so that others can avoid the issue I just faced. I know the user guide says winter tires should be 8x19 - 245/45/19, but I went on some online web stores and found the Mak Fahr (which is shown as supported for Tesla Model S post-2012 - but not on the Mak size, that's true). But after...

Hey everyone! I’m new to the forum. I wanted to list my car here first in case there were any current Tesla owners who would be interested. Only reason I’m selling is so my wife and me can both get the Model 3. I really do love the car and will hate to see it go. The car was built at...

Hey guys, I have a European Model S 75 which I picked up at the end of September this year. I ordered it as a showroom model which got me a discount and a promised 14 day deliver time. Unfortunately it took about a month as it still had to be shipped from the US. I'm trying to figure out an...

SIMPLEX Lifting Bag,3.1 Ton,9x9 - 46C533|B3A - Grainger After putting the parking break on, can the air suspension be raised to max, then insert one or two inflated 3T lift-bag under one of the lift points, then lowering air suspension down on to inflated lift-bag to change the wheel or flat...

Aside from the electronics involved that controls the air shocks. Does anyone know if it is possible to mechanically change out coil structs to the air struts from an air smart suspension? I'm hoping to do the swap and manually control or use a raspberry pi controller to control the height of...

No, not that Autopark... I'll preface this post with saying that I normally wash my own car in the driveway, but since I live in Michigan and the snow is already flying (with salt on the way soon), I figured that I should do a test run through the local automatic car wash. As I approached the...

T Sportline discontinued inventory of the Model S lowering springs for coil cars due to a lack of demand. I exchanged emails with Jon at T Sportline and they will order another run of the springs if we can come up with an order for 8 sets. So, if you have coils and would like to lower your ride...

Many board members have purchased and are very happy with the TSportline lowering springs for Model S. Unfortunately TSportline sold out of the springs and has discontinued keeping the springs in inventory due to a lack of demand. I exchanged emails with Jon at TSportline this afternoon and...

Hi everyone. Before I get started I thought I'd state that I've worn out the search feature looking for solutions to improve the standard coil suspension. Perhaps there still are none... I thought I found a compromise when I called Tsportline this afternoon to order a set of their lowering...
