Important to say that this was not an issue with my (air) suspension, it was tire/wheel alignment. RE: #1: Proper alignment on any vehicle is crucial to preventing highway drifting and the issue that I had; imbalance during hard accel and sudden decel. During my experience I learned that...

UPDATE: It was an alignment issue. Tesla Service investigated and found the rear toe and front camber to be out of spec. After a four wheel alignment the car is solid and feels squarely balanced on accel and decel.

Set of four 21" grey turbine wheels wanted (not staggered). Good or above condition preferred. I'd take them bare or with tires.

Thank you for this - I've got an appointment at my Tesla service center to evaluate the issue. @ra-san - Certainly will request alignment check when I take the car in for service, thank you. Will update after I find out more.

Thanks for the quick reply - I'm going to try the standard vs low experiment.

Yes I have air suspension and yes, first Tesla.

Hi, I have a new 85D (19" standard wheels, air suspension). I am experiencing a brief steering/driving instability that I wanted feedback on. It is a pretty pronounced instability that can be felt only when the car makes a rapid transition from (1) speed to higher speed (eg punching it at 50mph)...

OPTIONS / SUGGESTIONS: 1) Distilled water in a spray bottle is one option - spray and dab (avoid scrubbing) with an absorbent white cloth. 2) A small handheld steamer - hot water vapor + white or light colored absorbent cloth and then dab the area once it is steamed well. Heated water vapor...

This is EXACTLY the same sound I got nervous about yesterday when I was in my garage going from P to D and from P to R. I must not have noticed it because I always have the windows up when I leave or return home or park somewhere. So yes, seems like this is normal.

Thank you - didn't think many self storage units allowed cars but found one today that did. Still has a low voltage outlet but it's secure, clean, and 10' x 25'. Thanks again for the quick reply.

Hi all, Getting closer to my delivery day - unfortunately my current living situation doesn't include a garage and I'm going to need one for my 85D. I've found one option, an apartment complex that has surplus car garages for rent (and 110v outlets...ouch), but it is pretty far away. My...
