    2023 Model Y Long Range Disappointment in boominess after Demo Drive

    Sorry to hear. Was hoping this would eventually get fixed with the newer cars. There seem to be two separate but related issues. You can check out my post here (which was written in the context of whether an aftermarket suspension upgrade would fix the issues), but it's good idea to read the...

    3D Printed Rigid Hatch Stops (to reduce uneven road noise)

    I should clarify that I'm referring specifically to the low-frequency booming when I say that coilovers aren't the solution. There are two separate issues: low frequency booming pressure buffeting caused by a loose, misaligned, or poorly secured tailgate, which causes ear discomfort or pain...

    3D Printed Rigid Hatch Stops (to reduce uneven road noise)

    I have MPP Comfort coilovers set to fully soft and the booming is still there. With the coilovers and switch from 21" wheels to 19" wheels, I expected some reduction in boominess. But it's maybe 5-10% less, if that. Do it for ride comfort, do it for handling, do it for looks, but don't do it...

    Front door randomly flinging itself open when opened.

    This happened on my 2017 X. Tesla Service said water got into the door motor enclosure during car washes/rain and was shorting it out. They replaced the motor under warranty, and the issue never returned.

    Hi @GeoMetry, any updates?

    Which method worked for you to reduce booming?

    On my car (March 2022 build, MYP), pressure buffeting was completely solved using a combination of vinyl tubing and rigid hatch stops. Low frequency booming persists, even after switching from 21" to 19" wheels/tires and installing MPP Comfort coilovers. The booming is less noticeable when the...

    FS: Unplugged Performance Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms - Ultimate Edition, Model 3/Y (SoCal)

    Still available. A worthwhile upgrade for track days, or if you simply prefer the ability to adjust front camber.

    UP vs MPP Coilover

    My 2018, I felt, was under damped from delivery. The loaner with 30k miles felt more buttoned down than my car did at 50 miles. I recall my test drive of an M3P in 2018 felt dynamically identical to the car I took delivery of a few weeks later, so I never suspected defective shocks. I did...
