Suspension

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...

Hello All. I'm a soon to be Model S owner, P85D to be exact, and I really need as much feedback and advice on the following topic. After many months of research I have finally found Thy P85D that I've been searching for with every available option. The only thing this doesn't have are the...

The ground clearance of my current S85D on coils is sometimes driving me crazy; I have had the bottom of the car scrape garage entrances/exits and driveways more often than I want to remember. The funny thing is that for three years with my previous S85 (non-D), also on coils, I never had that...

My MS 75D is 1 month old. I experienced a horrible bouncing on highways. The bouncing was similar to a pulsating while driving as if a push/pull effect. I took the car to SC and took them on a test drive. Same issues arose. They gave me another vehicle with similar tires and did NOT...

Does anyone have or know of a possible way to avoid scraping bottom or hitting bottom of front end underneath due to sensors not being able to detect some of tire cement barriers when parking, due to sensors only seeing biggest Obstacles in front of you such as another car .that are seen on...

Hi there. I've got a 2015 Model S 85D AWD with the coil spring suspension. It's got problems since the car was new and I've had the service center drive it a few times and they don't think there's a problem. But everyone I bring into the car who doesn't wear a Tesla shirt agrees it's messed...

Now that I have less than 1 week before I get my S75, I'm looking through the user manual to pass the time. I have a question about the location based SAS system that the manual is unclear on, and I cannot find the information anywhere. What kind of area does the car consider a "location"...

I've been co-driving and working on setup in a Roadster for 3 seasons now and I feel like I'm finally getting to the point where the car is quick and playful around the cones, so I thought id share my setup and hopefully start a serious discussion about autox setup and driving technique for this...

Anyone seen / read about the actual dimensions? I'm adding everything I find here, which so far isn't much. If I were to guess the 18", I would bet on 225/50R18 19" 235/40R19 tires (Continental ProContact RX m+s) [1] ??? wheels 18" ??? tires (???) ??? wheels [1] Exclusive: Tesla Model 3...

Anyone know roughly what the distance from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well lip should be at Standard height? My X looks higher to me in all settings all of the sudden. Curious what others measure at. Mine is approx 32.5" in the rear and 31.75" in the front.

Been itching on the trigger for a new 75D to replace my 2014 S60. My S60 had about 6.1 inches ground clearance (I was very worried about this when I bought the car, having a tesla salesman drive one up my parking lot just to make sure - no problems then and no problems ever since). Now I see...

Do we have information or clues about what type of front suspension the 3 will have? Will it be a double-wishbone type like the S, or will it use McPherson type struts?

Is there a listing of the exact height for each level anywhere? (And if anyone has a comparison with the S85 with air suspension that would be very much appreciated.)

My car has it but occasionally I scrape/bang the bottom if I'm not paying close attention (!), but I don't need it on a daily/weekly basis. I'm considering a car that doesn't have it so I'm trying to gauge whether or not it is a necessity. I think I know the answer but thought I'd seek the...

I purchased it, but cannot get it to "remember" locations at which I manually lift the clearance of the car. I have tried multiple times to lift to very high at several steep driveways, both at slow speeds, and with brake on, then proceed to drive over the inclines. Then park. The next trip to...

Hey Fellow Enthusiasts, As part of a class project, I am working with a local MIT Start-Up (ClearMotion)to help them with their pricing strategy for their next-gen suspension system. They are targeting luxury vehicles, the system would be an option via the OEM. Please help me out by taking the...

Ik ben tevreden met mijn keuze voor de intelligente luchtvering. Zeer handig dat hij de locaties onthoudt. Nu vroeg ik mij af vanaf welke snelheid de wagen zich normaal terug lager zet? Bij de aflevering had ik gehoord: Very high: tot 18km/u High: tot 36km/u Standard: altijd Low: snelheid...

As the executor of my friend's estate, I am selling his loaded 2013 Black Model S P85+ with the performance plus and tech packages. It is in excellent condition, extremely well maintained, very clean inside and out, and low miles. Extra set of rims with winter tires, panoramic sunroof, air...

Hi guys, I'm selling a Deep Metallic Blue 2013 Model S 85. The car is a two owner and has been taken great care of. The battery performs very well and reaches 265 miles on a 100-percent charge. I have only range charged it twice for very long trips and it's normally kept no more than 90-percent...

What if Tesla created an App Store that would let you "install" free and fee features and upgrades? Apps that seldom required additional hardware. Just like your smart phone! These could go well beyond the standard vehicle configuration settings. The apps could let you personalize your car even...

I have a new 2016 Model X P90D w/ the air suspension upgrade. Whenever I try to tap on different heights, the blue button always slides back to standard. I can feel the car lower and raise, but the button always makes its way back to the middle. Anyone else having this issue? How would I reset...

Yesterday morning, our car was it's normal quiet self, however, that night when we went out there was a very audible squeaking coming from the front of the car whenever it rocked on the suspension.Over the course of the evening it got noticeably worst, although it seems to have stabilized now...

I have a S85 with air suspension, and it seems to have developed an interesting clunk. I have the suspension set to "high" for my home location (primarily to ease passenger ingress/egress). As such the geo-aware function raises the suspension as I get close to my driveway, and by the time I...

As I marvel at all the good things my Model S does, I can always hope for more. I saw this article about active damping on Ford's new Fusion V6. It would be nice to have in some form on all vehicles. http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/news/a28232/fords-fusion-pothole-skip/ The...

Well, I'm one of those earlier cars with 21" staggered setup and not too long ago (4 months and about 10000 miles) my rear left tire decided to play a joke with me last night. As soon as the tire sensor warned me about low pressure, I pulled over and once I got out of the car I heard the loud...

Hi all, I own an early 2.5 Roadster Sport with just under 10k miles. Recently, I noticed a 'knocking' noise from the front passenger-side wheel whenever that wheel encountered the slightest bump or inconsistency in the road. The noise was faint at first, but quickly worsened after only a few...

Well, I ordered my baby today. Can't thank everyone here enough for all their input and support. Funny story though. I was at the financial cap my wife set and needed to decide on the Air Suspension OR Premium Audio. When I was ordering, I selected only the Air Suspension and was ready to...

I know there are a million old posts comparing the SAS with coils. I'm trying not to rehash this. What I want to know is how the SAS interacts/compliments the AWD of the D models. This clearly is a completely different driving dynamic. I'm ordering an 85D on Saturday. Despite all of my...

I'm doing my best to stay within my wife's budget and also get into the 85D (instead of a loaded 70D). These two options (premium sound & smart air suspension) are $2,500 each. My current thinking is to get the SAS now and I can always upgrade the audio down the road. This will be my...

I'm ready to give up the smart air suspension in order to upgrade to the 85D with coils. Will I regret that? I drove two cars back to back the other day and I felt the SAS was a little floaty for my liking. Ironically I drove an P85D with the smart air suspension. I tried a couple of...

Our springs are under development, and your opinion is very important to us. We want to know what sort of ground clearance the masses want.

I know the topic of 21" vs 19" and air vs coil has been discussed at length (I have read the threads). I have converted a P85 order (19", coil) to a P85D. The P85D order was initially configured as (21", air) because other choices were not offered. I'm wondering of I should switch to my...

One of the reasons I didn't bother getting air suspension is that I honestly don't want to have to bother to remember to raise/lower the suspension to get past obstacles. Now that radar and cameras are being used for sensors it occurs to me that one if the big missing features might be possible...

Allen, wat met de Smart Air Suspension? In kost toch wel een stevige optie, en is deze het waard? Heb er ondertussen veel over gelezen, en ben er nog niet uit. Heeft iemand het verschil echt kunnen testen en effectief iets gemerkt? (naar comfort toe, het lager hangen wanneer snel aan 't gaan...

In the last year over the air upgrades have made the Model S a much better product then the one we originally bought. However, the 5.8 unilateral downgrade of air suspension is a troubling harbinger of the potential of downgrades. There doesn't seem to be a Tesla corporate obligation that...

I brought my P85 in to Menlo Park service for a couple of issues, one of which was the car swaying from side to side while driving / accelerating. This was the second service appointment I had asked for this to be looked at, and this time it seems someone in service: drove and verified the...

I know Tesla has indicated that Standard Suspension production will start in March. Just curious if anyone has been given a delivery window. P#9235 60kwh grey w/black leather Strd Susp 19" wheels tech package sound pano supercharging
