    Hello All, I used a well recommended bodyshop to fix some door dings and paint issues on a 2022 Model S Plaid. I told them to please use jack mode and call me if they needed help accessing it and ensured me they knew how to do it. Long story short, I chat with the owner and asked about it at...

    Ride quality for refreshed S with lowering links

    For those who have gone with lowering links (I don't really care what brand) on a refreshed S, how has your ride quality been? How is it on rough roads in the default ride height? I am considering going with them to reduce wear on the front half shafts. As an experiment today, I rode around...

    Hello. After updating to 2022.8.10.5 the car automatically adjusts the height after location, whereas before I had to press "Always adjust at this location". Now I have to go into suspension setting and press "Don't adjust at this location" every time I manually adjust it. Anyone else seeing this?

    Air Suspension deflating slowly - SC will replace bascially everything

    My 2015 P85DL is losing air in the suspension slowly overnight. It seems to be the rear right that drops and sometimes both rear and front right are deflated while the left side is still inflated, and other times it's both sides in the rear that seems deflated. As such it is not that big a deal...
