    Why does Tesla suspension suck so bad?

    My guess is Tesla simply can't make the changes to their assembly line to allow for an air suspension upgrade. Why should they? They are sold out for over 6 months. For what it's worth I would have paid $5000+ more for a better suspension, it's the only real sticking point (other than snow...

    MYP w/19” Geminis in the snow

    Same. This is the 12th car I've owned and it's the worst in the snow hands down. It's the first time I've bought snows in a long time and even with top of the line snow tires and chill mode on it will lose control sometimes due to overzealous regen braking. You learn to leave a lot more space...

    Regenerative braking on icy roads

    Happened to me twice on brand new geminis and once with new snow tires on an icy surface. Where I live winter conditions can last 7+ months. All I ask is for Tesla to add a simple on/off slider in the Driving tab to disable regen braking. What could be the argument against adding this?

    Regenerative braking on icy roads

    I have had more than one close call with this issue. It is literally criminal that there is no way to disable regenerative (read: uncontrollable) braking when conditions demand it. Hopefully it won't take a class action lawsuit for Tesla to move this to problem to the front burner. When you let...

    ID.4 Canadian pricing announced, undercuts MY LR AWD by $20k CAD :(

    I personally think that many people who can afford the MY would consider the ID4 to save $12,000 CAD- I know I would have. I didn't buy a Tesla for the name, sportiness or prestige, I bought it because it was the only EV with >=450km range, some towing ability, over-the-air updates and quick and...

    ID.4 Canadian pricing announced, undercuts MY LR AWD by $20k CAD :(

    So to summarize what I've seen, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the similarly equipped ID4 to the MY LR price is $58k vs $70k. ID4 Pros = more comfortable ride, two screens instead of just 1, what else? ID4 Cons = slower, poorer handling, less storage space, less range, poorer charging...

    Who supplies Tesla shocks/struts?

    I'd love to hear about replacement springs/dampeners as well. I don't want to have to spend $4k on a adjustable coilovers that I will set once, and the springs from UPP (which are the only ones I am aware of) have mixed reviews.

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    I live in southern Ontario as well. I've had mine for a few months now and lowered the tire pressure to 38. I didn't think the firmness was too bad at first but now that the honeymoon phase is over I feel like a bobblehead on the highway. The seats are so comfy that it tricks you at first and if...

    MountainPass Performance Comfort Coilovers

    I know it's hard to quantify suspension comfort, but is there a car you've driven in the past that compares to how the Y feels now with the coilovers vs without?

    Trade in a 2020 MY for a 2021

    He would only pay tax on the $5k difference in price on the new car. But yes, in Canada the government charges tax every single time even the same car is sold.

    Wait for 82 kWh battery?

    If you can and don't mind waiting, it's always a good idea. But the bump to 82 won't make much real world difference. You can test this by using abetterrouteplanner.com, plot a trip across the country and change "battery degradation" from 100 to 95 to simulate the difference in the larger...

    Model Y ride comfort?

    I have this completely unsubstantiated theory that early delivery model Ys had much stiffer suspension. I did a lot of recent comparisons between the Y and an Audi Q5 and find them to be about equal. Either that or the people who complain are coming from much softer cars. I have some spine/back...

    2021 model Y scan my Tesla battery size

    Seems to be a lot of non-definitive evidence supporting the 82kwh battery in the new MY. But to me that is balanced by Tesla's silence. If it was true why wouldn't they announce it to help push their end of year sales targets? I'm sure they would be aware that many people are waiting for this...

    Has anyone heard from UPP?

    Last I heard from them was Nov 26 after inquiring about a product

    First Expression of MY

    If you have been following these forums and others closely you would realize that delivery quality has been getting markedly better in general over time. If you are serious about wanting one, you could always place an order and still have the right to refuse the car on delivery if it doesn't...

    Things I Do Not Miss Thread

    I don't miss: - dealership new car sales "experience" - dealing with salespeople running service departments - almost no maintenance to worry about - always starting the day with a full tank - crappy multimedia systems - turbo lag - waiting for car to heat up - no ability to do "camp mode" -...
