    Anyone go from 19" Goodyear SoundComfort OEM tires to non-SoundComfort Goodyears?

    Just to verify are the Cinturato P7's everyone is refrencing the "all season plus" version? And are they good in snow? Ps my oem goodyears are done in at 20k miles... 2016.5 s75d 19" stock rims

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    Not so Psyched: I have been back calculating the rating for mileage per trip by recording the starting and end mile readout on the battery and comparing that to the actual miles driven and the Wh/mile trip average in the odometer. My 60d would consistently average 269 Wh/mi as a back calc of...

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    So psyched. I bought it as soon as i saw the $2k price tag. Before purchase 83 miles was reoprting 38% range which translates 218.5 miles. Immediatley After upgrade 82 miles was reporting 32% which translates 256 miles! I have been tracking my actual v rated milage to come up with an average...

    Rough ride

    I did not have a method for adjusting hood and hatch other than continually opening tightening and adjusting and closing until I felt it was well aligned with the other panels. Test drove a concrete road today that used to get it bouncing, but still smooth 10 degrees F. Don't get me wrong I...

    Rough ride

    Negative Temps here and still smooth. 250 miles into my new tesla I was seriously stressed and considering selling it because of the rough ride. Other than the hood and hatch adjustment I can't explain the change. But now I love my smooth ride and dream about buying another one with hw2. It was...

    Rough ride

    I agree temp could really affect the contact of the relatively massive metal and glass hatch compared to the small plastic bumpers. Temp is also a big culprit in the intermittent behaviour.

    we are all looking forward to the first maverick who will misaligned the hatch and hood and report if it brings the rough ride back...

    Rough ride

    I finally convinced my wife to get back in the car. She said it's much smoother but must not be a rough road. I said it's the same rough road that was killing us before... hard to believe but the stability of hatch and hood seems to have made a huge difference. I did not use Vaseline , but...

    Rough ride

    that must be the coil. I found the BILSTEIN oil and gas shocks front#F4-EE5-K999-W0 162470234; REAR #F4-EE5-K763-W0 162310669.

    Rough ride

    I have to admit my car has been behaving much better as well. Even my kid said it's not "bouncy" anymore. I did adjust the frunk and trunk which were both way out. I also broke 2000 miles. With the warm weather my tires have been at 44psi. Reserving judgement, I will try and get a baseline...

    Rough ride

    Yes I agree, but when you look at the wavelength spacing, the tesla it is very concentrated in regular periods. In the audi you feel it in one wheel at a time all the time. In the tesla the whole car bounces. The test is hard to repeat in acceleration, speed, track, etc. It may also have been...

    Rough ride

    Sc tech named Steve, he is the Colorado Ranger. I took the audi s8 and tesla s60d on the same road today to record the vibration. My impression is that the audi felt every bump but absorbed independently at each wheel without bouncing above level. The tesla seems to really build off of each...

    Rough ride

    No shipping spacers but I was lucky enough to find a part label wrapped around Rt rear coil. DMS3 E4-FD1 Z231B02 TEAL. I had SC Ranger test drive. He said different Springs are comming every week from suppliers and not tracked by Vin # which car gets which suppliers. He also said that the "d"...

    Rough ride

    The fact that you don't have any complaints is the reason we are hopeful and trying to figure this out. Those of us with complaints are reasonable and knowledgeable.

    Rough ride

    Does Tesla spec different suspension for dual motors vs rear wheel drive? It seems the weight and torque (including regen breaking) added to the front axels would have significant impact on the suspension.

    Rough ride

    I want to summarize the comments so far, please confirm or clarify: The rough ride is unusual based on users diverse lifetime driving experiences, including other Teslas; The rough ride is unacceptable for our current owned Tesla cars; The rough ride is usually characterized by bouncing; The...

    Rough ride

    the first graph is standard regen breaking second is low regen, accelerated for first 10 sec to 40mph then coasted to 20mph. Not real conclusive. Graphs 3 and 4 are jumping on the sill of trunk and frunk while stopped. Pic shows 1/4 inch misaligned doors

    Rough ride

    I think cab's idea rings true for my brand new s60d (coils 19 Goodyear touring set at 41 psi) if the body panels are any indication of attention to detail during assembly. The trunk, hood and right doors are misaligned greater than 1/4 inch! I hope this is not because of the frame! I put the...

    Rough Riders, lets start compiling data: Car model year? Coils or Air? Tires, brand, size, psi? Vibration Meter - Android Apps on Google Play Put your phone on the floor (center console) and drive? accelerating? cruising? speed?

    Rough ride

    How many rough riders are running on goodyear touring 98w m+s? I guess these tires are lined (by tesla?) on the inside with a foam in attempt to quiet the road noise. I am suspect that this may cause tire Balance problems magnified at different speeds and when hitting bumps? The foam would...

    Rough ride

    HELP I just took delivery of a 2016 S60D, coils, goodyear M+S 19's. Love it but way it is too stiff. My head continually bounces off of the headrest, my kids think its an amusement ride as they bounce out of the rear seats, and then they get sick. My wife has a back ache and doesn't want to...
