2020 S Performance suspension problem

[Wallclimber]

I have a problem with my 2020 Raven S Performance, 6000 miles. The ride is very harsh at low speeds, as if the suspension would let all road imperfections transfer to the car. On highway, after a while, there is a very low frequency sound with vibration what most people do not hear, but complain that their ears feel pressure and start to feel sick. I've tinkered with the hatch a lot and that does not seem to be the problem. The car was perfect when I got it so something has changed drastically.

Problem started a few months ago during a very hard acceleration. The car physically works but as if in the acceleration something broke. Tires and rims (Tesla original) have been checked by a specialist and they are ok. Tesla says everything is ok after 20min test drive. For me, driving the car causes a headache. Any ideas?

Try setting suspension to the softest ride setting to see if there are any changes in what you are experiencing. I thought the "standard" ride setting was too harsh for the 90 percent local, "city" driving I am doing during the pandemic... don't really do much performance driving now.

That's one of the weird things. Comfort setting does not help with the harshness. I feel a difference between sport and comfort, but not as much as I would think. I previously had BMW with adaptive drive and it glide over bumps with comfort, but this does not. Wheels are 19".

I agree, changing the suspension settings does very little compared to BMWs or Mercedes adjustable suspension. Perhaps you are having tire issues, but you say those have been checked. Don't know what else it might be.
