Hi there. I've got a 2015 Model S 85D AWD with the coil spring suspension. It's got problems since the car was new and I've had the service center drive it a few times and they don't think there's a problem. But everyone I bring into the car who doesn't wear a Tesla shirt agrees it's messed up and not right. At first we assumed maybe it was the tires. But they have been replaced with brand new and nothing has changed. Here are the symptoms:
1) Loud low booming noises. This is honestly the worst part. Sometimes it's oscillating like when you crack a sunroof or window and get that horrible super low sound. I actually used a decibel meter once when getting a Tesla loaner car and proved my car had a ton more lower bass sound and a ton higher noise than the loaner (also a coil car). So I don't know if there's an air leak somewhere like a bad or misaligned weatherstripping, it's impossible to pinpoint bass sound.
2) Jarring ride. When driving on incredibly smooth roads, the car will make our heads feel like we're bobble heads. Going 40-60 mph, there's often a bouncing sensation of 2-3 times per second. It's as if the car is feeling every bump in the road and transmitting it directly to the passengers. It's exhausting honestly and we notice and comment to each other on it literally on a daily basis.
Any ideas? I don't expect a perfectly smooth 90's Cadillac floating ride in this car. And I own a Tesla Roadster so I know what a taut sports car feels like as well. But I don't expect to be angry about my car jostling us and hurting our ears every time we drive either. Like I said I've had it in the shop repeatedly and complained about this many times and they always tell me they feel anything wrong. I don't know if it's faulty shocks, a sway bar not tightened, I don't know. I just want it fixed. I'd really appreciate any advice or help.
